Since joining the forum I have read numerous threads of woe concerning significant / costly engine issues. I wonder if there is anything we can do, to be ahead of the game and prevent an inconvenient breakdown or change one part prior to failure that can negate another more expensive repair. My...

Hello, Recently upgraded from a caddy to T6 and I've noticed an odd noise coming from the engine when ticking over and also driving, I've had a look at various other threads but can't find quite the same noise. Would anyone be able to diagnose what this could be, a possible turbo issue? It's...

Hello all. Newish to the forum and new to T6 ownership. I’m having fun so far however my van has a strange whining noise when the revs are increased (it’s not from the passenger seat!). Having looked at other threads I assume it is the aux belt or cam belt tensioner failing, but am not 100% sure...
