Hi everyone. I have had the break pads replaced on my T6 and there's a broken wire that joins the new break pad wear sensor and going into the wiring loom. See pictures below. Can anybody help identify the exact part I need to buy? I'm having trouble finding it so that I can get it in for...

Hi All, First time posting, long time lurker. I do not believe this has been covered before but please point me in the right direction if it has. I have a VW T6 that I have upgraded the front headlights to LED. These are the THQ ones, and very good they are too. The local mechanic...

Any recommendations on disc and pad replacements and costs? Looked on Vw commercial and its £680 for discs and pads to front and rear. Wondered if anyone had used an alternative either high street kind of place or anyone in Cornwall? Thanks

Roughly how much would it cost to replace a brake master cyclinder on a 2016 T6?

Hello First time poster!! I have a T6.1 Caravelle (2019, CXFA) with a CBI brake system on the front brakes (PR number 2E3, disc diameter 308mm). I am going to change the pads and disks myself but I cannot find the torque values for a front CBI braking system. Does anyone have the torque...

Hi all, My T32 T5.1 has failed it's MOT with binding front brakes, annoyingly only 2 years after new Brembo discs and pads all round. I've stripped the front down, cleaned them up and lubricated which resulted in a small improvement but then they started binding again. I've since read about...

Can anyone tell me which wire , red or yellow goes to what terminal on the new plug I've bought . 1 & 2, is marked on the plug. Looking at how it works does it make a difference it makes a continuous circuit when pads are worn.

Hi Can anyone tell me if the DSG brake pedal should have a little Travel before Bite.. i don't drive the caravel that often so i cant remember, I've just swapped the front callipers for a big brake Kit, brakes bled no problem using a one man kit, no air bubbles, ill assume the travel on a Dsg...

I need to buy some new rear calipers for my 2014 Caravelle 4motion, are they all the same? Any recommendations?

Hi All Am after a bit of advice/experience please! 2018 T6, 48500 miles. It’s juddering a bit when braking from higher speeds, not when <20mph ish to stop, probably more like >40mph to stop. Spoke to my independent garage, who I trust, he’ll have a look but suggested brake discs could be...

Afternoon all, So my 19 plate T6 has suddenly developed what can only be described as a loud creaking/squeaking from the rear end when reversing (at low speeds). Has anybody suffered with this before and if so found out what the cause was? Any help greatly appreciated as always! Fintank

Any retailers doing any offers on discs and pads? Seems ECP rarely do huge discount codes anymore.

My front discs on 2016 shuttle have come up as an advisory so looking at options for possibly upgrading to dia 340. Anyone have any kits for sale?

As the title. This has been happening for a few months & first became noticeable when we were skiing in the Alps. After a long downhill run with little braking or acceleration, I get a squeal on first acceleration at the bottom of the hill when we hit the flat. It sounds like a water pump/dry...

I bought some genuine VW 16” wheels and tyres (brand new with delivery miles only) for my 2016 T32 LWB T6 as a cheaper alternative to four new tyres and to give me the opportunity to get my aftermarket alloys refurbished. The wheels came off a new van, not sure what. They don’t fit. The front...

I have a question re a brake problem maybe someone could advise on. Currently wandering in Europe but now on hold waiting for a new front left calliper pads and flexi pipe. Was on a level road not a steep decline when the TPMS warning flashed up. Stopped in next lay-by and found the front left...

Occasionally, when I gently depress the brake pedal I get nothing! Normal braking is ok but I've got no idea anymore where the bite point is. Had the garage renew and bleed the brake fluid, pads have plenty of meat etc. I'm thinking it's electrical only because of its random failure but I don't...

Greetings, apologies if already been posted but a search revealed nothing. I have a 2016 T6 Kombi. I keep getting an intermittent message on MFD, states “Brakes Failed! And then Workshop!” This appears when starting vehicle after being parked over night mostly. It appears for a second and...
