New to the forum - Hello!

[Poppet81]

Hello Lovelies - thought I'd say hello. I'm Diane and have a late 2015 T6 - had her for a good few years now (57k on the clock). Here she is at Sanna Bay last week - handles really well on the wee roads.

Only every had a couple of issues - namely the door runners, but they were quite an easy fix. Found the degreasing and cleaning of the channel oddly satisfying?! But now I have a fault with the passenger electric window and mirror (lock works). I've checked the wiring - all seems fine with no cracks or bare bits... I am now in the process of leaving the battery disconnected overnight (reset) - including removing the leisure battery connection. So will see what happens. Anyhoo - thank you all for the really informative threads, I've learnt so much!

Are you a pre-ad blue example ?
welcome to the Club if you are.......
......hang on ! I dont think we have a T6 Eu5 sub-section yet !!!!

 

[Poppet81]

Yes pre-ad blue. It seems to be a T5 with some lipstick (joke)?! Oh and a cupholder... But I love it. It's such a nice drive, and pulls well on the hills.

 

[Sackmycook]

No, its definitely a T6 with no of the ad-blue issues. Hope you find lots of useful info in the Forum. We are a helpful bunch with several experts on things like electronics, parts, camping, solar, etc.

This article by @Dellmassive is very informative like all of his posts, this is in relation to resetting the ECU which I believe is what you might be trying to reset by disconnecting over night. However just disconnecting evidentially does not always work as the article suggests and considers and suggest another faster and more reliable way to do a reset.

Full Van ECU Reset (Capacitive Discharge) -- How I Done It --

The T6 is full of ECU`s, Modules, CAN Buses and Data packets . . . . . Just like your Phone or PC right.

The motor vehicle industry has spent years with research and development making the modern car/van Data and electrical system very Robust and resilient with built in redundancies and fail-safe measures everywhere.

But, every now and again things can go side-ways and the electrical gremlins come out to play. . . . . . . This is normally caused by electrical situations outside the normal working parameters for the vehicle. ...

Ooh partial success. I at least have a functioning passenger window from the passenger side. Driver door control doesn't work for passenger window, nor the folding mirror (passenger side won't fold). Off to check wiring again... But I am happy we can now get some airflow through the van. What a fab forum this is!!! <3
