Hi guys. I brought a new LWB T6 in July 2019. It's done 30,000km. Dealer is virus closed. Brought oil and filter today. 2.0 diesel CAAC 103kw and 340nm. They sold me 7 litres of oil and a cartridge filter. Can you please give me instructions where oil filter is etc and other relevant details as...
Hi, looking to do this soon. I gather vehicle has to be level, wondering where to position jack stands, or sissor jacks. Also wondering about filter change manual information. Seems I have 2 drain points for DSG. I have an infrared gun to measure gearbox temperature at the surface. I don't have...
Has anyone got any recommendations for oil extraction pumps? Now, I'm a firm believer in dropping the sump plug to do an oil change but I always seem to spill at least some oil so I'm thinking of getting an extraction pump to pump most out before removing the sump plug.....and I think it would...
Does anyone have any experience of using the Carista feature to reset the 'Service Due' indication?
Does it work OK on T6?
Does it affect/corrupt the Service Regime (Fixed/Flexible) your van is set to?
Can you change the Service Regime using Carista?
Thanks!

i am getting the warning come up that I need an interim service ie oil change.
VW want to steal £174 + VAT.
I can probably get it done cheaper locally but will that impact the warranty? Additionally they want it in all day. Why FFS? It’s a 1 hour job at most.
Any local recommendations...
Hello everyone ..., my mechanic and friend owns a T5 with 5-cylinder engine. On the occasion of the first replacement of the engine oil, he found that the thread of the cap seat needed a "carry over" when the cap was reinserted onto the oil sump. This has also happened on other T5 vans that have...
Changed my engine oil & filter and refilled with a measured 7.4 litres of oil.
Checking after a long run the level is about 20% below max allowable on the dipstick.
But - owner's manual doesn't say how much oil is required to fill from min to max (very, very, helpful).
Anybody know?
This is for...
Now I've changed engine oil & filter in plenty of cars, but it's usually very easy to spot the oil filter location.
Embarrassingly I'm struggling to find it(!).
I've read the maintenance document available for download, found a pic on here on another thread, but I'm still looking.
Can anyone...
silly question , but I can’t Sean to find out what is the correct oil to put in the engine, could somebody please advise me as I need to put some in now?
I've just ticked over 11K and I'm going to be keeping it a while and don't fancy the idea of 20k oil changes so I'm going to do incremental changes my self.
I've ordered the oil & filter but I'm not sure that I like the idea of removing the oil filter and covering the engine bay with oil once...
