To the garage.. new cambelt, waterpump & an Aux belt.. a few hundred down but sorted for a good few years 👌🏻

Just a thought but how old is your cambelt and has it been checked recently for wear/tension ? It could explain why there's no faults on Carista. I'm probably wrong but I have a Kombi the same age and the last belt change fixed a problem with occasional hunting whilst idling, apparently it had a...

It should have had 1 cambelt before VW changed the guidelines. Re tailgate - I just removed the 3 painted in bungs on the panel return and it now drains.

???? I was charged over £200 for brake fluid change (T6.1 at a VW dealership). Thought cambelt looked a reasonable price. What the hell is a 'full service' if that doesn't include brakes/cambelt?

Ok great in going to have the cambelt done soon anyway

Was it swift by any chance?

I’m considering too to upgrade my 180A alternator to an 240A one. This is on a eu5 T6 bluemotion with auto start stop CAAC engine. Wondering if its a straight swap so i can have it done while the cambelt work going

It was good old vw uk trying to con us … now in line with rest of world

Cambelt and water pump, clutch and flywheel and service done in June. Will consider sensible offers.

Worth doing the oil pump wet belt at the same time as cambelt.

Mine is in next month for a cambelt and crank seal £500 but he does love cash :whistle:

Give it all a good clean and you'll then see how bad it's leaking. It will need doing though as it will only get worse and as the cambelt need to come off you may as well get the changed at the same time.

I don't have time for that haha

2016 EUR5 T6 with engine code CAAC on 172k. Only ever spent on oil changes on the engine. All the rest (brakes, clutch, tyres) seem to be decent and last too. Edit : precautionary cambelt at suggested interval by previous owner.

Mines in for this at the moment, cambelt and waterpump too as the water pump has slight leak. Just had clutch and flywheel done too last week...expensive month

I've had it happen to a family member, who was a suspicious sort and marked everything with UV pen before taking the car in to a franchised dealer. The company is no longer trading under that name so I would be happy to name them if the mods permit.

These are quite common to leak. People will normally get them replaced as preventative maintenance when doing the cambelt due to the close proximity when already stripped down

I think the life span of a cambelt, water pump and tensioner is 4 years or 100,000 miles.
