coolant

Had my EGR valve replaced under warranty about 6 weeks ago, went away for a month with work, came back to empty coolant reservoir. Mrs has been driving it whilst I've been away... (scratches and a dent have now appeared also =( but that's for anither thread!) I've subsequently filled it up...

Supposed to be going to Holland on Wednesday and this light's just come on. :(

Coolant temp warning started flashing, temp stayed the same for a couple of hours then racked nearly into the red so pulled over, a load of black fluid burst out over the pipes under the coolant tank. AA tech reckons that the oil has somehow started mixing with the coolant fluid, and looks to...

Hi all, I've had my T6 for just over a week now. Its a 2017 150 dsg with approx 40000 miles on it and today when leaving work the coolant temperature sensor has started flashing and the gauge was not moving up. I stopped the van and turned it on and off and it disappeared. Has anyone had this...

Hey all, can I please ask for a little help on the water pump and crank sensor codes?? When starting the van I get 3 longish beeps and doesn't start that well. I can't rev beyond 2000 when in neutral which didn't use to happen. If you know the par numbers that I need it would be massively...

My t6 is showing coolent issues after my mechanic changed the fan motor for the radiator and coolent pipes Took it back to him and he pressure tested it and said it was fine but the light is still on after a long drive it came on in the morning previously it came on during at least 5 hours...

Evening all, Today i noticed and was confirmed (coolant level low ) by the digital dash ! that i had a leak . I rang my local VW Commercial Garage at Preston and explained the problem. I was asked for the registration,which i gave. This is a private plate which i have used on several vans ,but...

Hi All Had a major service on Monday at VW van dealer (29K miles), all ok, drove about 10 miles today, parked up, got back in and coolant level warning came on, switched off, started again, same warning, this happened 3 times, checked coolant level and was on MAX as expected after a service, so...

Hi everyone, I have noticed my van has the wrong coolant, it is a g12 coolant however my manual says it needs to be a g13. How do I get rid of all the coolant correctly and also where are all the bleed valves located and is it a straight forward job or is it more complicated as I have done...

Hi guys, quick one - is there a method for filling a t6 coolant system from empty? I changed my EGR today but upon replacing the coolant it barely took 1litre although I dumped a few when I started. I presume get engine warm, thermostat will open allowing coolant to fill block and I’ll top up...

Hi all. My engine coolant compartment is bone dry. My wife still thought it's ok to drive it when red thermometer was flashing at her! Can I just get the coolant and replenish myself or do I need to go to garage? Yes, I know I need to find out where the original content had gone. Any advice...

Ok so posted a couple of weeks back about my temp gauge beeping and flashing red and indeed as advised it required a small amount of water, about half a cup if that. Since then even though I have seen no signs of a leak I've had to do the same thing twice. So Van was booked in for a service last...

Anyone have an ideas for Coolant Level went lower when engine is cold ?

coolant, my coolant light intermittently flashes red. Coolant level looks ok when cold, but low when up to temp. When I leave it to cool and unscrew the cap the level fills back up! Temp gauge works ok and temp remains stable. What are the common faults? I still have VW warranty until...

Engine management light on again, Back at dealers again, No courtesy vehicle again, Missed deliveries and pissed off customers again. Apparently the 2nd auxiliary coolant pump has failed. Moral of the story? If you don't want to be a VW R&D guinea pig, wait at least two years before buying a...
