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.

    T5 ERG drama

    Hello V-Dubbers
    Bought my first water-pumper on Monday and its **** itself on Wednesday.
    Its a 2012 T5 Transporter with 87500km on the dial and the catalytic converter light comes on.Take it to a dealer and they inform me the ERG valve is stuffed and a new one is $800 and $700 for fitting as its a 5 hour job.
    Asked about warranty and you get 3yrs/100,000km so its out of warranty.
    Anybody else had this problem?

    Try for goodwill assistance from VW.

    It's a very common problem with these.

      Thanks mate
      Sent a email to VW last night and saw the service centre today.
      They say VW will contact them this week as I mentioned them in the email.
      They didn't sell me the van and can see my view as my last car was a diesel Toyota that has done 280000k with just regular servicing and the wifes Honda jazz has done 175000k with a $200 fuel pump at 120000k.
      Doesn't make the VW look good when it needs $1500 at 87500K does it
