    New California 6.1 Driver Profile Selection option missing !?!

    We are all new to this but also just got a new 6.1. We didn’t think it had the driver profile but we found today a button on front dash with a car and a squiggly line. This gave us the options for driver profile. This might not help but just in case, I thought I’d mention this button. The...

    Do touchscreens lose their touch?

    I too may be lucky but I tend to make my own luck by gathering as much evidence as I can (photos) before taking in and my usual tactic is to speak with service manager/assistant or if lucky technician to discuss fault/demonstrate issue. Apart from the £50 diagnostic/software update for my...

    Update: A T5 owing mate of mine just heard that a 2014 reg (20000 miles), went in for it's health check, issues were highlighted and the whole EGR system was replaced from suffix A to D, all under warranty..........some dealer in Sheffield apparently. This seesaw is driving me nuts.......no...

    Who else missed out on 1 March?

    Gutted for you Tom but you made the right decision to reject and wait. You've now got me panicking that I haven't done the same. I know I haven't because I had a long conversation with the dealer about swivelling and not having the electric seats because they don't. But I'll be happier when I...

    Latest emissions data and tax bands

    Thought I would update on my own statement above. Seems it was a correct assumption, I just received this formal letter from VW. In a nutshell fuel economy went down 10% and CO2 up 10% 204ps - 199ps. In reality it probably improved. The 4 motion adds 20 CO2,s This is the letter Dear ...

    Getting ahead of the inherent defect of VW PD engines

    Not an uncommon problem. There was a software update to address it I believe. See here on the T6 Forum. https://www.t6forum.com/search/1327806/?q=High+oil+level&o=relevance

    Diff lock in use

    Thanks very much for this detailed outline. We have a DSG 4Motion Ocean 204 with diff lock. I’ve not yet had the need to use the diff lock. I have wondered however what I will do if/when it becomes necessary. Have I understood correctly that in a situation where diff lock will make a...

    Another Cali-killer? Westfalia Keppler 6 LWB

    Good news and an update from me. Something you should be aware of is that the early Westfalia Kepler 6's imported in to UK, did not have a Passenger Airbag fitted. Evidently this was an oversight on the French manufacturer. This is not a deal breaker as after all, we have all probably driven...

    Cali issues, please help!

    A bit more of an update for you all..... I took the van back to the garage and pointed out the faults. They think they can sort them out! Anyway, they lent me a brand new Cali 180 DSG with 40 miles on the clock. Very nice vehicle, so we continued our journey down to the Volksworld show and set...

    California delivered ... in the wrong colour

    Hello everybody: a small update: as expected, we did not receive our ascot grey coast delivered by our summer holidays. The dealer kept the agreement and gave us 3 weeks free of charge a quasi new California (731 km at issue; just over a month old). It was a good test and I'm really looking...

    VW California T5 ONLY Roof Corrosion - General Discussion

    Ron, our experience was similar top yours. I went through Alex at SMG who told us that it would take a long time and i asked him to send sent me an email confirming that it had been referred to VW which he kindly did. This set my mind at rest. I suggest that you ring VW Customer care. I did...

    California delivered ... in the wrong colour

    Bad luck, hope she recovers well. We spent a night at Ostend Lighthouse, next to another van of Raes, a Grand California. I guess they have to lend all their showroom models to customers, waiting for their new cali's!

    4 Motion California

    If its factory built and registered as M1 (multi purpose it would be fine, but if its N1 (light commercial) as a lot of the conversions are then it would be subject to the lower speed limits for goods vehicles. All set out here

    Hi...just joined

    Hi Ken & welcome! We have a 4 month old Cali Beach. The two living area plug ins work in different ways. The 13amp ( 230v three pin socket) will only work when on EHU. The other should work all the time off the leisure battery. You can use this to power certain fridges or cool boxes when on the...

    Buying a first Ocean

    Unless you need to use the van in Jan/Feb/Mar, perhaps wait until the T6.1 demo vehicles arrive at the dealers. You can then make an informed choice on whether a nearly new T6 or a brand new T6.1 is best for you. We have been looking a various "great deals" since July, some with 20% off list. I...

    T6 VW California Delays

    Very nearly lost my rag with someone from VW customer services today as she utterly failed to give me any update on likely delivery date, despite having had a week of looking into it. Have requested the email address of the UK MD and Director of Customer Services, but I very much doubt they'll...

    Buying a first Ocean

    Hi Suntoner, What are you waiting for? Just one thing though, VW quietly dropped the leather element in the Cali Alcantara seats some time ago. It's now faux leather i.e vinyl leatherette. I cancelled this option on our new Beach when I discovered this. I didn't see the point in paying all that...
