Hi everyone, I was planning on going to look at a t6 on Saturday, it is 4 hours from where I live so asked for a walk around video, when looking at the engine it looks like something is bubbling? Is this the intercooler? Is it a big problem? I don't want to do an 8 hour round trip for a lemon...

Hi all, First post, sorry to start with a disaster. And sorry in advance if I get terminology wrong - not mechanically competent at all. Love my SWB Caravelle 2L DSG. 2016 reg, had some minor issues with DPF needing regen and a replacement EGR before. But nothing as big as now - might not be a...

Hi People, I recently had my 3 1/2 year old T6 Euro 6 102ps re-mapped with a Quantum Tuning map by a highly recommended and accredited mapping guy. I had the full power, up to 170ps map so was expecting great things. The van drove fine after re-mapping, but I was hard pushed to sense a big gain...
