Full fault light A7F5250A-0C96-4E60-BA30-45C649ABFABA.jpegSo collected my van 2 days ago drove 9hrs home from London. Then the next day drove 4hrs to Oban for our first night wild camping.

we stopped at Tesco to collect our late night snack and do a last toilet break only to be stopped by every single amber warning light on the dash.

Breakdown assistance were at the car in 4 minutes from hanging up from Vw assist.
he reset all the amber lights but suggested a databus issues.

we drove 10 miles down the road and unfortunately all the lights came back on.
We had our wild camp and decided to brave driving home from advice from breakdown assistance.
2hrs on journey home the lights randomly starting going out to the point only the EPC amber light was left on.

we have a Vw specialist coming out tomorrow but at this stage all amber lights are now out !!!!!!!!
 
Sounds like something is not plugged in properly (like the ABS unit for example)
Fingers crossed it’s something simple, you are are probably right. it sounds like a loose connection or software issue.
 
Update:
van is still with Vw, we were told before they could continue they had to remove the tracker at a cost of £400 !
Now they will start fault finding on all amber lights.
We had a second fault of engine management light too.
Both faults are intermittent so hopefully they don’t just disconnect the tracker faults clear and hand the van back !!!!!

So they are saying the tracker causes it? What a load of sh1t. VW master techs strike again
 
I know it’s crazy the tracker only takes power and is not connected the the Vw can software.
I wonder once they are finished if the will charge £400 for my tracker to be refitted.
Seems to be so many warning faults with the T6.1 at moment.
It’s a bit disappointing after a 9 month wait.
 
Sounds like they have got far too complicated to me. Think we'll stick with our 5.1
