gearbox

Hi All, I cannot find any info on what the max circumference or diameter of wheel/tyre combo that is recommended for the 5 speed gearboxes. Can anyone offer any advice? The reason I'm asking is I've currently got 19s with 255/40/19 tyres fitted (works out about 2% larger diameter than the...

We’ve had our T6 auto 2.0 diesel since the start of the summer. It’s got about 170k miles on it and a partial service history. There have been patches of oily liquid under it when parked sometimes and then about 3 weeks ago it lost gears on the way home, went into limp mode, stuck in first...

Looking for an 0A5 gearbox for a T5.1 for a guy I know whose 5-speed has let go. Ideally with shifter and cables, any associated mounts and driveshafts. Cheers

As above, I have a 2018 campervan conversion (from new), that is just coming up to 7 years old and 41000 miles. It's not had a hard life, vast majority motorway miles, driven sympathetically and never towed anything. It has been serviced as per recommended service schedule and drives fine. As...

Hallo Id like to change ratios in my gearbox, manual 6 speed. I found a Seikel , they make a offroad conversions . They offer set of gears to change ratios, 4517 euro !. I found that gearbox with code PAR has the same ratios Seikel offer so probably this parts are from this gearbox. My question...

Morning - just wondering if anyone can give me some advice. The gear lever movement when I change gear (2015 T6 140 6 speed manual) is not smooth, but clunky. It changes gear OK and it's not the grinding of cogs that might indicate a clutch issue. It feels like there is something wrong with the...

I have had what I thought was a lose top mount or knackered ARB link clunking noise from the front near side wheel area. I thought It was more noticeable over lumps and bumps in the road at first but very quickly got worse and sounds more on rotation than it does on bumps in the road. Had...

Hi all I am new to the forum so any advice would be much appreciated. I am looking for a camper and i am trying to decide between two. One is a factory highline 150ps with 6 speed box. The other is trendline 5 speed with 150ps remap. Obviously the factory version 6 speed is best but the...

I have a strange story that i would love to unravel. I was recently in the south of Belgium (where no one speaks anything but French) and found myself in a sticky situation. On one of the hills up a beautiful forest pass my gear leaver seemed to get stuck in 3rd gear. No matter how hard my foot...

Morning all I used my van for a couple of longer trips last week and have noticed a new noise seemingly from the gearbox In 5 th gear at almost exactly 65 MPH there is a distinctive whine, it does this more when the van it hot hence noticing it more on longer trips It doesnt seem to do it...

I have a gearbox which needs replacing and am struggling to find one with the same code as mine (KUP). I wondered if anyone knows of a list of compatible gearbox codes which are interchangeable with my own? I have a T5.1 2011 6 speed manual 2.0L 140bhp, gearbox code KUP. I have searched and...

Hello, I am searching for help here because we have a very mysterious pulling to the right. At front the car have all new bunches expect subframe, but the subframe bolts are changed. All springs and dampers are almost new. Inner and outer tie rod are changed. The pulling problem came after...

Hi everyone. I bought a VW T6 startline panel van at the start of April from a big van dealer in Reading. The van is financed but I put down a £5K deposit. I also took out an Autoguard premium warranty which cost £800. The dealer insisted on this because I didn't finance the van through them...

Does the t6 caac engine have a pilot bearing for the gearbox

Long time lurker, but unfortunately its time for a post. Please be kind :-) 3 years ago I bought a dud of a Caravelle. Stunning looking, top spec, drove well but really has been a money pit. New engine after a year (parts covered by VW) and now im being told it needs a new gearbox (90k on...

Hi, Been trying to figure out an issue with the battery not charging but while I was under the bonnet I noticed a large puddle of something on top of the gearbox, in between the splines on the casing. It looks possibly like diesel, definitely not water and not engine oil either. It does look...

Hi guys, I'm currently converting my bus to a 6-speed transmission. T6 cxgb 75kw 5-speed. I tried to code 6speed in the engine through vcds but without success. don't you know how to solve it please? I haven't even tested the car yet, but I feel like the cruise control won't work properly. do...

Hi All Looking for a transmission jack, ours has given up the ghost. Bought a SGS one but that’s going back, too wobbly when extended and only retracts with weight on it. Need one which will drop when the knob is turned WITHOUT WEIGHT on it. Most only drop when weight is on them which is a...

I'm looking to buy a 2017 T6 Caravelle to use for commuting about 250miles per week. I'm going to clock up the milage pretty quick and want the most reelable engine long term. I know I'll get about 10mpg more from a diesel but am thinking that a petrol engine may give better long term...
