Hello,
I had a fatal engine failure with my 2016 T6 Business Van, milage 110.000 km. The engine is a Bi-turbo 2000cc 150HP diesel. Automatic 7G transmission.
Does anyone knows or heard of a simular case. My engine stopped working, suddenly lost all power, in the middle of the highway. I could just make it to the rescue lane before the engine went completely death.
No way to get it restarted. Needed a towing service to get it to a workplace.
After in depth examination:
Catalysator: was stucked by particles, could be rescued and could be be cleaned: 480euro
Diesel particulate filter: completely saturated, could not be fixed by cleaning, new filter 1600 euro
After this repair, when starting the engine, oil started to spill all over. The engine block had a severe crack and was actually broken.
Fix: new engine needed estimate cost: 12.500 euro!
Apparently, this is a know issue for this engine. Anyone that has experienced something simmular?
I previously owned a 130HP Multivan wich I sold with 330.00km on the counter without ever having any issues. I had to sell that car after the introduction of environmental limitations in my hometown.
