cam belt

Hi everyone just joined as i have just purchased a T6 2016 plate. I have a question, i spoke to VW and asked about the cam belt renew, they told me it needs replacing either at 120k miles or 4 years. It had a service at 74k it now has 77k should i renew the cambelt yet.

Hello All, MY 16 plate T6 102 PS manual has just had its cam belt/ water pump done by the dealership. On collection there was a rattling noise after driving a couple of miles (engine speed linked) so I took it straight back to the dealership (Beadles VW Chelmsford van centre) The technician...

So my 67 plate 93k T6 has had premature cambelt failure currently waiting on results of engine damage however VW have offered to pay 100% of parts and 50% of Labour, the cambelt was not due to be changed till October and it has been main dealer serviced from day 1 so do I push for more or is the...

Mates I'm sure I read in a repair guide to replace cam belt with new if removed, i.e. don't refit the old belt. Not sure if it was a T6 repair procedure or something else. Does that ring any bells anywhere, or am I hallucinating ?

Changing timing belt and looked at timing marks before taking the belt off. If you reference the fitting guidance it seems a tooth out, on the pump, but that’s only by the marks on the pulley., not where the pin fits in. I was going to put it back as it was.

I've a 2019 204ps dsg 4motion kombi with 11000 miles. Bought it cash this summer with 9000 on. Dropped off the kids for school and headed on to the a41 dual carriageway. Everything felt and sounded normal then all of a sudden there was a jolt and the engine seemed to just cut out, power...

So I've had a bit of a read through the cambelt threads, pretty much most saying the same thing 4 or 5 years.... What brand belt kit can I use as I noticed the recall with Gates, have they sorted the problem out or are they still worth avoiding? I've usually always gone for a gates belt powergrip...

Hi guys just a quick one. Is there any common causes that may stop the fuel getting to my T5.1. I’m not completely sure but I remember being able to hear my fuel pump before and now all is silent? Is there any common faults or fuses to check before I progress with getting her towed off?

Hi, New to T6 ownership, I’ve got a 68 plate on 16k miles, and noticed this noise when I first got it home. At the time just thought it was a characteristic of the engine, until I started to read on here about tensioner problems. So recorded the engine idling today to see if you guys think it...

Workshop manual section for the replacement of the Cam Belt

So it's been widely reported that VW are aware of an issue with certain year/vin number Transporters that are developing noisy tensioners. I noticed a while ago that mine was starting to sound a bit noisy on start up when cold, but the noise would slowly disappear as the engine warmed up. The...

I'm new to T6's but owned a T5 and T25's. What mileage do you change the cambelt and water pump on a VW 2.0 TDI 102PS Bluemotion T6? I'm considering purchasing one with 85K on the clock.
