Hi All, Any recommendations for a West Midlands based VW specialist for an upcoming major service + cambelt and DSG etc? I'm already aware of VAGCar and Midland VW but looking for any others that you guys may have had a good experience with. Cheers in advance.

...an email to main dealer Lookers, Ballieston and they came back with the current recommended mileage of 140,000 miles and no time limit for cambelt change. Doesn't do anything to relieve my "cambelt paranoia " though :rolleyes::D I remeber many folk on this forum getting theirs done at 40,00...

Yes, i had a look but they are mostly hidden by the charge cooler. Its deteriorated noticably since the cambelt was done a couple of days ago, so i think i will go back with all the useful info from here and ask him to have a look for me.

My t6.1 will be 5 years old in September. Has been serviced every year and only done 19,000 miles . I am a bit confused as to when the cambelt should be changed . Vw poole are saying every 5 years but independent garage says roughly 60 -70,000 miles ? My previous van was a t5 which I had for 8...

I don't know if you are joking about the grease to the cambelt or not?

Thanks, it’s really many miles in the last few years as used as a second van for holidays only but has had a lot of the big jobs completed - turbo, cambelt, water pump, discs and pads etc… Thanks for looking Hope you find what you after.

iI have just paid £1000 to have mine done on my 2017 T32 by an excellent independent garage in Newcastle. It had the cambelt and waterpump replaced at the same time.

It’s the official VW service interval, normal.

Their guidance on the cambelt is out of date…..ask them to doublecheck with VW!

Not sure about always, but it is certainly the most common cause assuming your symptoms are the same. I guess it could also be the cambelt tensioner too.

Hi all. I've just purchased a T6 from a VW branch. 2017, 33k miles. Highline I wanted to get a cambelt as part of the purchase, as I am still on the mindset of 5 years.. they will offer a cambelt change for £599 instead of the £699. I could go a local garage and I think they would charge...

...ok hijacking this thread instead of making new post. In the 1st photo, is this pipe coming from intercooler or i’m mistaken? Its near the cambelt side. Also do i clean it with some brake cleaner and monitor it further if still leaks or gets worse? 2nd photo, never had the crank end seal done...

...mine done early, 4years. £750 inc vat - Timing belt Kit & Waterpump (including all the ancillary bolts and bits) (excluding the AUX belt as advised it was fine but would have been £36 parts extra...

The 20k in the original post refers to the time since the cambelt was last changed. My van is also around the 150k mark

Welcome! Has it got good service history? Cambelt etc? Plus we like pics of😉

Hi, could you tell me whether it has the 5 or 6 speed gearbox - has the cambelt and water pump been changed? DMF / clutch?

So if you were in my shoes would you expect a 80k mileage van to have that done or to be done as part of the purchase? Just working out if I was asking the earth or not!

Hi - it's been serviced annually. We've not had the cam belt done.

Unless you are sick of looking, I'd walk away unless he at least offers something towards the belt being done.
