Evening guys.....had my 2016 T6 LWB Kombi 5spd (36000 mls, I've done 130mls), 2 weeks now and noticed a slight clutch issue at the weekend...when reverse is selected you can feel slightly more resistance in engaging the gear and when it does go into gear the van moves slightly! Bought it from Wolsey Ipswich VW van centre. When you select first gear you can feel the same slight resistance sometimes ,but not all the time, and the van will move only very slightly. Is there any adjustment on the clutch or is it on its way out?? .....It was a builders van, the bodywork is really good.....also discovered it did have a tow bar which had been removed with no obvious signs it had one on first viewing...not sure if dealers do that intentionally so you think you're getting a van that hasn't been used for towing. Any thoughts please...They are collecting in a few weeks to investigate. Cheers bouys...and gals!
 
Hydraulic clutch so no adjustment. Try depressing clutch and wait a second before selecting first/reverse. If clutch is clearing the flywheel it wont lunge. If it still moves the van ( in either gear) it may need bleeding as a first check.
 
Thanks Big Al...will try later this week. Tried looking in the engine bay and underneath and its visually impossible to see anything moving with some one else pressing the clutch pedal....no signs of a leak on the floor.
