Hi there,
Have you checked the ignition switch witch is just behind the key lock on you steering wheel
It is a~ $10 part and sometimes can fail very slowly try by pushing in your key hard when trying to start.
Not a big issues if it is that

are there anchor points for a childs car seat?
1 answer
No designated anchor point that I'm aware of.
I have a bench seat in the rear of my car so I used the seatbelt anchor points and bolted the child restraint bracket to The seatbelt anchor point .
I hope that makes sense .

Is somebody able to give me a rough price on a new clutch install for a 2009 VW Transporter T5 dual cab,manual.I had it serviced 2 months ago and as I drove it out it sounded different.Two months later my clutch is gone and the same mechanic is telling me it will cost $2500.00 labour and parts.Is this right,please help.
1 answer
My recommendations:
1. Phone your local VW for both part and labour costs as separate items. This is your ceiling cost.
2. Then google for a new clutch online.
3. Get a few different mechanics to quote on labour costs.
Your current mechanic is having a go at you.

If you are like a lot of transporter owners and have never had your auto trans serviced, then you are probably due for an expensive lesson. Volkswagen are telling a lot of owners that the transmission is sealed for life. You'll need to get it checked out. What area are you from?
Auto transmissions must be serviced else trouble sorry can't help with much other advice
Thanks
I live in Bondi
At the moment am driving the van in manual mode did 20ks
So far so good

I replaced a drivers side door for a vw transporter 1.9 tdi 2006 with a 2010 door. but when I go to connect the wiring loom to the door it doesn't fit the computer slots, also some of the wire colours are different . Any solution?
1 answer
Wondering if you are able to use the old wiring harness and wires rather than trying to adapt the new doors wiring but I wouldn't have thought that they would've been so different- not sure what to suggest- m

Good day! My 2006 Transporter 2.5, 128 Kw give me trouble. Sometimes he got first gear sometimes not. Now R is also given me problems. Could it be the Syncro/gearbox problems?
2 answers
Your gear linkage bushes near the gearbox are probably worn. Common fault on T4s. I've changed mine twice. The parts are cheaper overseas on eBay. Pain in the behind to change. Best fixed before it fails!!!!
Syncro is All Wheel Drive. Is your vehicle this?

Hi, I read with sadness the amount of people who have had T5 auto gearboxes play up as I recently viewed a lovely VW camper van but have held back because of the many stories of auto boxes fitted. I have never had problems with two different cars with autos over the years of driving. I wonder about the T5 if this is a big issue and you never know how many happy ones driving T5s with auto boxes are okay. Any idea?
1 answer
The auto is fine as long as you change the oil . My engine was no good after 110000 km but they end up replacing it after all but I had to pay $2400 for instalation
If you want a low cost van go for a Toyota
