Good evening everyone! I have a T6 2017 with 60k, got a couple of faults that I have picked up, oil leak from crank seal and sign of leak on front EGR pipe. Good news is that the warranty company are agreeing to cover the crank seal and labour. They have however said that any associated parts...
So just the crank seal and sump seal....
Re using the same belt... Leaving the tensioners....
I wonder if they are using new oil and filter, or just refilling same oil...
£1k seems the average price, but we see loads of variables as to what you get for your money.
Have you read the link from MMI above in relation to the oil pressure changeover valve?
I had the coil light and the oil pressure switch fault. Changed both oil pressure switches and fault still remained.
The changeover valve failed the VCDS test and after having that replaced I've had no...
...a bit of an oil leak … was sue for a service anyway , so got my local VW to have a look at it . Turns out it’s leaking form the crank case oilseal …. This a common issue ?
Also I was told that the ‘ all in vw extended warranty’ doesn’t cover oil leaks !!!
Luckily for me the branch phoned...
Hi @Bigsidavies make sure you get the timing belt replaced when the seal is replaced as the oil contaminates the belt causing it to disintegrate causing failure. My friends garage is seeing this happen all the time, even on engine with millage as low as 50k. What’s the mileage on yours?
Sherwood Center Parcs for the kids annual Winter Wonderland, because if you are going to pay through the nose to run a van why not pay through the nose to holiday too?! o_O (Had the crank oilseal done last week and still getting over it!)
Hi
I have a MAN TGE 177bhp Fwd biturbo 2020 DAVA engine.
I had the turbos fail on the van and got both replaced.
Then it drove perfectly find but a bit underpowered for when it’s fully loaded.
So I got a remap and the underpowered issue is gone but I get the same p0299 turbocharger A under...
As the crank sensor pick up is in the rear main seal have I messed up aligning the seal? Should the centre of the oilseal align with the blind hole on the crank end rather than 180' opposite?
Yeah black oil a bit round #1 and. Touch more round#2 it does have a bit of an injector tick when it’s cold but when it warms it disappears. I checked values on VCDS nothing looked out of the ordinary.
Thanks for the reply. Yes I did tackle it and you can't get the dust seal off without lowering the final drive box. To be honest, upon closer inspection it wasn't leaking oil anyway so all is good and no movement in the stub shaft. Yeah any photos would be much appreciated
...end of August (first date they can fit a full day in) for a full service, investigate/fix oil round drive shaft, sort leaking crank pulley oilseal and do a (not needed) cam belt and water pump replacement and investigate intermittent coil light/replace oil pressure switches as necessary.
Not...
Hi all,
Getting crank shaft outer seal replacement as leaking oil onto belts. I was told that I need to replace timing belt & tensioner. The problem I have is that I had the timing belt & tensioner replaced two years ago & have only done 2000 miles. Is this justified or am I being ripped off...
Just been reading some other peoples disappointments with the crank shaft seals leaking. Been too VW dealership to have my final service plan service carried out today. Bearing in mind my vehicle hasn’t long gone out of warranty coming up to four years old being told my t6 is also leaking oil on...
I removed a little over 2.9 litres from my T6, 6 Speed gearbox today & refilled via the neutral position sensor had to do it regardless as my passenger side driveshaft seal was weeping, the colour of the oil was horrendous and smelt very burnt.
I went with the all in - it's not perfect and be careful to read the various threads around here as there are some restrictions you might not expect like the crankshaft oilseal.
Having said that folks around here have had some fairly hefty repairs covered.
Had the vans 1st mot done which it passed but the tester noted a minor oil leak. After I investigated it I found the source see photo. So it is either the crankshaft seal or sump seal on the plastic part that houses the crankshaft seal or both - that's the bad news, good news is I had the mot...
Oil in the intercooler is normal, it’s from the crankcase ventilation PCV that wasn’t separated out and any oil that has leaked past the turbocharger compressor seal.
If you think the oil is excessive check how much the oil level in the crankcase has dropped.
If in doubt remove the hose at the...
