New Engine required Cali 2011

chez786 · May 6, 2023

Hi all we are in the common place of owning a 2011 Cali and the best option is a new engine . We are struggling to find garages that have time space to do it. So wondered does anybody recommend any garages ? We are based I. Bingley Bradford - have contacted Vw at Leeds frustratingly not even a reply ! Happy to travel a bit for a good mechanic . Our current mechanic has been brill but is a small garage and as he admits it will take a while to get the garage space needed .

Try Bognor Motors, 01243 865515 they replace quite a few and are Transporter specialists.
Yes a long way from you but best to have a garage that does them regularly.

These guys have done loads of failed T5 & 6s. No first hand experience, but lots of positive comments on the T6 forum.

Similar situation with a 180 (2011 and 107 k miles). Currently vw dealer pricing for new engine. Keen for any alternative garages who do this in central scotland. Thanks!
