Fitting replacement water tap in T6 Ocean

[SWgasman]

Hi all. Tap packed up in my 3yr old Ocean. Assuming it to be micro switch failure. Sourced replacement tap via you as no local VW Van centre. Taken a look at fitting it myself and concerned that don’t have the tools/know how to undo nut on the old tap (behind sink & under work surface) without damaging it. Any suggestions ? (based in North Devon).

Hi @swgasman, I had to do exactly the same job on my 2016 Ocean a few weeks ago.
- Middle shelf out
- Lying on your back with head in the bottom of the cupboard. A head torch or similar shining up is a big help
- A pair of pliers opened right out was just wide enough to get purchase on the big black hexagonal nut.
- Once it had moved just a bit it was easy to undo by hand
- Tap can then be pulled up through the hole in the sink.
Hope that helps
