paint issue

Hello, any ideas what this is? Looks like an oil stain or something. Everyone I wash the van it remains. Thanks

Hi, new to the forum and I was looking for some advice on a 2019 highline kombi. We’ve experienced a minor leak in the centre roof console and I think I have narrowed it down to the windscreen seal. On further investigation I noticed the paint in the channel along the top is peeling and what...

Anyone tried it?

I purchased a 2022 T6.1 that I knew had a little paint done (had viewed and asked for a couple of dings / scratches to be sorted by what seems to be a very careless previous owner). The work was completed and looked fine when I picked it up, however now I’ve had it a week or so I’ve noticed a...

Have recently bought a T6.1 Kombi, which had 18’s in immaculate condition when I picked it up. Yesterday I noticed a few marks where the paint was missing on one of the fronts, and today its worse again. It hasn’t flaked, but looks like something has splashed and burned through the paint! Has...

Hi, I've bought a 2019 T6 - 24k miles in Candy White, might be a bit of a lemon. Previously a work van I went into this with a view that it was in fact a work van that will have had some scrapes and paint and wont be perfect and that not an enthusiast owned sports car so was willing to look past...

I bought my van in September this year, 72 plate. I had some optional bits added including these rear barn door spoilers. Back in October, they started blistering, so I took it back to the outfit that fitted them for me, which was where I bought the van from also. They kindly swapped them for...

My 2017 Cali Beach has a dreaded bubble on the roof. Anyone know if VW are still entertaining warranty claims for this? Interestingly it shows the tape they put around the edge works - the corrosion has started in the 3mm gap where the tape joins! Let's hope there aren't any more joins further...

I bought some pressed metal licence plates to replace the ones that came with the van, purchased new from inchcape VW commercial in Manchester When I took the rear plate off I found that there was a line of rust and a few other spots and bumps - the van is 4 years old and while the 3 year...

Noticed this whilst washing the van the other day. It's a 21 plate and I've had it since new so I know it's not been in contact with anything. I can only think it's sticking out into the wind enough to get battered by stones from the front wheels. Has anyone else had this problem? I presume VW...

Hi all, I am new to the forum so I apologise if this has been covered in the past. I have only had my T6 since November and unfortunately it got damaged between the purchase and collection on the passenger door by the wheel arch. The garage agreed to repair the damage but unfortunately...

Afternoon All, I had some black trapezoid side bars supplied and fitted by a garage 9 months ago, the coating has started peeling off at the fronts. The manufacturer has said they wont do anything, its because I don't have mud flaps, I don't want them. Can anyone recommend a spray paint /...

I found some rust spots & a bit of paint bubbling under the side door handle yesterday. Nothing major. Our van is Oryx White & there isn’t a touch up available for it due to it being pearlescent. The rust is under the door handle so pretty inconspicuous. My plan is to remove the handle, clean up...

I‘ve recently purchased Transporter T6 on a 19 plate from a main dealer. On both of the days when I took it for a test ride, and when I collected the van, it was wet and overcast. I have since noticed when the sun is out, that the van, which is a black metallic colour, has shadowy swirls in the...

Hi all, Fitted barn door rear spoilers several months ago now. The bond has been strong for most of that time but noticed today that the spoilers have both come loose. I used Sikaflex 221 and followed all instructions. Is it common for Sikaflex to fail in such a short time? Not...

after pressure washing the van this afternoon the paint starting falling off! anyone think this looks like its had a repair or is it like this from the factory ?

I recently had new front and rear bumpers colour coded on my van, I bought them from Vw and they're factory-primed, they were painted about three weeks ago, but I’ve noticed a few tiny bubbles appearing only on the flat part of the bumper where the bottom of the door line is, it was done by a...
