Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • T5 2.5TDI problems

    hi new to forum so I guess this is where my first post should be

    I have a 2005 lwb 2.5tdi van with 107Ks on the clock (purchased with 38k on it)

    it had the usual problems - power steering pump and heat exchanger replaced about 5 factory cd players under warranty until I dumped it for a Sony deck.

    Now I think the water pump has gone too (after searching some posts) but my van has another problem the oil light keeps coming on at higher rpm's (above say 2000 when driving) and the oil level is fine can this be related to the water pump?
    ie water in oil

    its been serviced every 15thou with either vw spec 506.01 or 507
    would 507 spec oil cause any problems (van has no DPF)

    do these engines sludge up if the wrong oil is used
Working...
