Anyway, to give yourself the best chance of getting good advice, it's usually helpful to let people on here know what engine type you have, i.e the power output, age and rough mileage. I assume it's no longer under VW warranty?

You say it's a T6.1 but I didn't think there was a 180Hp version of the T6.1, I might be wrong though.
That's a fair lot of miles, it's reasonable to assume that the engine is suffering from the normal wear that any engine would suffer from at those miles. (although some of the older 180 engines had a specific problem caused by the EGR cooler, which was later revised.)
You can't ignore the brake fluid light, is the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir at the level it should be at?
I think you need a good mechanic to go over the van and give you a realistic appraisal of it's problems and your options, a compression test and analysis of the oil may give an indication of the condition of your engine.
