Find yourself an independent VW garage for your day to day services. They’re service stamps will keep the VW mob happy when you sell it and you’ll save yourself a fortune. The prices that VW want will shock you 😂

Cheers for the advice, mate. I wouldn't even have thought about the oil. I had intended using proper VW servicing as the van has a full service history which I know is important if we want to sell. I've never used a specific manufacturer garage...

The BIG BIG thing with them is you have to use EXACTLY the right oil for your engine. The lad who I bought mine off owned his own Transporter interior refurb company, so you`d think he knew his way around them. Turns out he`d be using oil that...

The fella that sold us the van told us to get used to waving at other Transporters and I thought, "Aye, right!". Turns out, he was right. I put my wife on waving duty though. I feel stupid waving at someone just because they're driving the same...

It`s a brilliant community and word of mouth recs like that are worth their weight in gold, as they can save you a fortune in the long run and keep you away from a lot of rip of places, that claim to be experts, but are just cowboys in reality...

Tried that! The overhead philange won't reciprocate 🤷

I have been reading some forums since we got the van a few weeks back. I'd like a reversing camera installed and there's a chap in Chesterfield who is constantly recommended. It's a 2 and a half hour drive from here but I'd rather do that than...

Have a good hunt around online mate, as there`s bound to be an independent specialist by you. The forums are brilliant for this too, as a lot of the garages that are Transporter specialists don`t advertise, as they don`t need to, as word of...

1. Position the seat: Place the VW Transporter T6.1 Kombi seat in its correct position on the vehicle floor. 2. Align the feet: Line up the two feet of the seat with the corresponding pockets or receivers on the floor bracket. 3. Secure the front...

If push comes to shove, it’s still drivable though, isn’t it, mate? That’s the rear seat, not the front. If it’s really becoming a bother, maybe it for now? The steel seat brackets on my old car snapped in half this one time… When I sent it in...

There isn't a specific "bracket reset" function for VW Transporter T6.1 triple rear seat brackets; instead, if you're having trouble with the seats, the issue is likely with the mechanism itself, and you may need to check for bent parts or ensure...

You've got an old vw, you'll need to find new reserves of strength...

Mate I apologise for my reply, it was far from hhelpful. I do however feel your pain, I’ve recently sold my van after 2 years of throwing thousands of pounds at it….. proper money pit

I think @Bungle is our resident camper van specialist, though his may be a tranny.

If you`re in Merseyside, don`t take it to a VW van centre whatever you do, as you`re looking at £130 an hour labour. There`s an independent Transporter specialist in Bootle.
