Hi there , my name is Nuno i’m Portuguese, I’m an 46 year petroleheqd , married , three wonderful child’s and I live in luxembourg and in the beggining of this year i acquired a VW Multivan T6 2.0 TDI 150hp 4Motion (2017), it has 240000 Km in the odometer . I always wanted to have one , as I’m a big VW Fan , would liked to have an older one with an aircooled engine but so be it . Actually I wasn’t planning to buy it so soon but an opportunity came and I took it . It was from a colleague at work , had been stoped more than a year due to unsolved problems in the van by VW dealership’s . It had a coolant leak for more than three years if I’m not mistaken.
In this trhee years every time going over and over again, they change radiator, intercooler , Turbo , some coolant pipes , the radiator from the heater of the interior . And nothing solved . So he was sick and tired and asked me if I want’it to buy , he made me a good proposition, and I take’it for me .
So I solved the problem the week after changing the AGR radiator and valve . All the system was changed, and another pipe on the process .
Cleaned the exhaust pipe , changed a side mirror, found and bought rear three places seat, they where missing, change tires , made a major overhaul, brake fluids change , brakes pads and disc’s, all filters , 4 new tires , only missing automatic gear box and transmission overhaul , as it doesn’t need for the moment .
She passed the annually technical inspection with 0 defaults .
Now I need to solve two minor issues , one is that she doesn’t work straight, like misfires , when the engine is cold and at low rotation , round about 1500 up to 1900 RPM. I think this can come from on injector .
The second one is that my calling lights some time don’t go off they turn on like if you had a door open .
And the third one, with no reason at all whatsoever, the alarm goes on when the van is locked , the only way to stop his to turn off the interior alarm (volumetric ?) when Van is closed . I think the second and third one are related and maybe the cause could be the battery’s health .
So thanks for accepting me and if you have any idea about the problems?
I’m all ears.
