What causes a VW T6 Transporter to lose coolant?
My T6 had a hairline crack in the coolant bottle (around the drain connection) when it was about a year old. Worth a look. Have heard of a few cases of the oil cooler seal causing this. At least 4 of our new work vans are off the road with this same issue. All less than 4 weeks old.
What causes central locking on a VW Transporter T5?
Again, your coolant level light should light up on the dash to give you a bit of warning. Ignore the low coolant light at your peril as your engine will eventually overheat and fail. On older higher mileage T5’s it is fairly common to hear of electrical problems that cause the central locking to play up.
Why is my VW Passat TDI leaking coolant?
I have 2012 VW Passat TDI. There are 4700 miles on it. I do not have the warranty on the car, as it was purchased at an auction. Problem is: The car has been loosing coolant since I’ve had it. I need to refill the coolant container every 30 miles or so because the light for “add coolant” goes on.
Is there a problem with the Transporter T5?
It is a fairly time-consuming job to replace the clutch as it is not an easy part to get to in the engine bay. The part it self is only in the region of £280 up to £400 depending on model (Check price of specific part on Amazon below) Other vw transporter t5 problems unfortunately involve the EGR.
What kind of coolant does a VW TDI use?
If it were my car I’d find the leak, flush with water, and drive around to clean it out and test. Cheaper than testing with coolant. Then once I fixed the leak I’d flush the water out and refill with VW coolant. You can use generic Febi G12 or Pentosin G12. Technically I think it uses G12++ but it’s compatible with G12.
Can a TDI cooler leak coolant from the intake?
Only gas models. TDI= oil cooled only. The EGR cooler could leak coolant and go back into the intake through the EGR. Remove the intercooler and pressure test it underwater. Only other place coolant sees intake is the EGR cooler.
