Hi everyone. I have a 2017 caravelle executive that has broken down.
Did any of you ever had to get his Caravelle (or t6) engine replaced and how much did you have to pay for? Mine had internal damage due to camber belt parts broken and damaging the engine and I have been quoted two very...
I’ve written previously about a VW T5 Campervan that I put a deposit on then was told that it broke down between the garage and dealership after having the cam belt replaced. I was told by the salesman that the cambelt pulley had failed and advice from this forum was that this could have caused...
I'll keep it short.
VwT6 - 2016
108,000
CAAB engine.
Cambelt and waterpump done this week. Zero faults or issues on vcds or otherwise until today in the entire time I've had the van.
Passed every MOT its had.
Great van.
Daily driver.
Errors taken from calista OB2 (note...same on VCDS also...
Someone I know told me he put his VW T5 campervan in for a cam-belt and water pump change last year. After he dropped it off, he got a phone call from the main dealer saying that to do the cam belt change, they would need to do an interim service at the same. This, despite him having that...
Can anyone who’s had their van a while and had it serviced by VW tell me if this relates to cam belt change ?
And if so would VW do the water pump at the same time as a matter of course?
It’s part of the history print out that I was given by independent dealer upon purchase of my van but not...

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...
Hi all.
I have just paid the deposit on a van,
67reg, 33k mileage, highline model.
The van will be mot'd and serviced, I asked about the cambelt and she said that VW have changed it to mileage only now and the 5 year rule no longer exists.
This is a VW approved dealership.
Anyone else...
we have a 2019 150bhp T6 and I believe it’s due a timing belt change every 120000 miles or 4 years. We’ve only got 37000 on the clock but I presume we should still make sure they change the belt yes?
Thanks.
Hi all I have a t6 150bhp transporter engine code : CXHA
It's time to have its timing belt and water pump changed. I was wondering is there anything else I should ask the mechanic to change or have a look at as the work is getting done?
Hi guys and girls just after some information please if anyone could help me my t6 has just had cambelt water pump and crank seal changed. There is a fault code for the intercooler waterpump. Can someone tell me if this is the same waterpump that's just been changed that's driven by the cambelt...
I have a 68 plate T6. Because of illness and past covid restrictions, I have only just reached 13,000 miles on the clock. The major service is due in October 22 (this year) I have read that cam belt has to be replaced at 4 years old. Given my low mileage for the vehicle age should I still get...
I'm looking for a water pump & timing belt kit. I've been looking at Gates, HEPU, INA but am having trouble figuring out wether I need a switchable or non-switchable pump. All websites point to both options so my only option is to call the VW dealer and beg them for a part number.
Besides...
So the day I've been dreading for so long as finally arrived. Today my boy goes in for a major operation. Like all parents I'm extremely anxious of how it will go. I've not slept for a number of nights with worry. Hopefully Midland VW will take good care of big red while he has a cam belt...
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...
Recently had my Cam belt changed and when I picked up the van it failed to start first time. Put it down to a low battery after being in the garage all day.
For the following week the van refused to start first time often taking several goes at cranking over before it starts (2 - 3 minutes)...
Hi Guys just booked my 2018 T6 150 DSG in for service and Mot as it's 4 years old in January I was expecting to replace cambelt / water pump and DSG gear box oil... VM service informed me that according to the chassis number my engine and DSG box are on 5 year schedule!
Hi all looking for a bit help. Just stripped timing belt of my van with engine code CXHA. The water pump I removed was just a simple pump. But the new one supplied has a sensor and small look fitted. Can this be fitted and simple left unplugged? It’s a SKF kit I have bought.
