Hello, just had starter battery replaced. I asked the technician to code it, too, but interestingly he said 2016 T6s pre-date coding. Wonder if anyone else has experienced this? Thanks.

Hello, I might be really thick here but looking through some posts/pictures of various engine bays people seem to have a bus bar near the starter battery. Is this on all models? (T6.1) I'm looking to connect up my dc-dc charger and only have this

...so I'm thinking of installing a charger. My question is, if I install a Victron Ip 65 charger under the bonnet and connect it to the starter battery will it switch on the DC-DC Charger and charge the leisure battery too? I don't see why it wouldn't, can anyone confirm? Has anyone done it? Cheers.

...great. I’m currently in the middle of a Scottish road trip (with a 6 month old using some saved up paternity leave!) and had a flat starter battery today after having been parked up for 2 hours and then sitting in the van for an hour with the lights and heat on (with Van switched selected so...

...I don’t have leisure battery system for trickle charging purposes. Is there anything like a solar trickle charger that can be used via the 12v cigarette lighter to keep starter battery maintained? If so any recommendations please? Tried a quick search but struggled to locate anything. Thanks

So, over the last week I’ve had a starter issue with my T6. Every time I was starting the starter motor was getting harder and harder to turn over. I purchased a new battery but this didn’t make much difference. One evening it completely died and I had to get recovered by the AA. There was...

...the key, and sometimes not at all. It also drops out a couple of seconds after removing the key. The bigger issue is that the van’s starter battery now appears to be dying. I charged it for nearly 24 hours, drove a couple of miles, came home, and the van wouldn’t start again. The...

Hi all, 2021 T6 Leisuredrive Vivante and having fitted a new starter battery 6 mths ago multimeter at best shows 11.88 leisure battery showing 13.80 while on hookup. So it would appear starter battery isn't being charged when on hookup, any advice/help would be greatly appreciated Thanks..

I have a 2012 LWB Shuttle with a 2L TDI engine/DSG. The van currently has a RAC004 85AH battery fitted, dimensions 315, 175, 175. I think the battery is on its way out. Sat on the drive the battery only holds charge for around 2 weeks. And despite a full recondition the other day and then 120...

I just put a BM2 battery monitor on my starter battery . Now have a host of error signals , Hill start / front assist/start stop I assume disconnected negative has caused this while I fiddled the bms connection ! VCDS job ?

Can you code in a new starter battery with Carista as the starter battery on our T6.1 isn’t holding charge anymore,

Hi, I have t6.1 with a ctek 250se and a Duritc battery charger. Just ordered a BM2 as the starter battery is being drained. The van is standing for weeks at a time and I’m leaving on the EHU at weekends but the charger is only charging the leisure battery. Is there a way to stop the starter...

...lead acid leisure battery and a VSR under the driver's seat which (if I understand correctly) is not really best practice given the starter battery is AGM and has a smart alternator! I'm not sure why they routed the wiring all the way over to the other side of the engine bay and fitted...

...battery options. Is this everything i’ll need? Plus a cable kit/ fuses. Does anyone know roughly long the cable needs to be from starter battery to under passenger seat? Also i’m not sure if should get a 30 or 50a charger? I’m sure i’ve seen a photo on here of a similar setup nicely under...

Hi, quick question for the electrics/solar experts on here. Currently connecting a Ctek charger up to the starter battery if I'm not going to use the van for more than a couple of days. This has the advantage of keeping the leisure battery topped up via my dc to dc charger. I've already got an...

Apologies if this has been covered before. T6.1 2021 Is there a way to code the van so that the alternator charges the battery to a higher level? The smart alternator seems to only get my battery to a (at a guess) 60% as the voltage on it is often only 12.0-12.2v when resting. If I am...

Just wondering if its possible to use a leisure battery to power my existing usb sockets, 12v sockets and interior lights instead of using my starter battery. I have a T6.1 Caravelle and I am trying to make it a useable dayvan/short trip camper while trying to keep as Oem as possible thanks.

...sample paper. Not a real paper, so could have some dodgy information in it. Setup is a bit like charging a leisure battery from the starter battery, hence I’m asking for expert thoughts here. Two batteries in parallel, with different emfs. In part 2, the mark scheme suggests the voltage...

Hi there. I'm currently attempting to charge my starter battery on my relatively recently purchased 2017 T30. Seem to be having drainage issues due to a tracker and I assume the wolfbox g900 camera/dash cam (which has the park mode turned off). Starter battery drops down after a week of no...

...a 2019 T6 102 horse power (specifically - VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T28 TDI P/V HIGHLINE BMT). Sorry if silly question, but the OEM starter battery (Brand: Varta - Model: EFB+ 5TA 915 105 B) is on its last legs and I need a replacement. The current one has physical dimensions as follow...
