If you own a VW Caddy from 2015 onwards, you might find yourself facing engine troubles that could require significant attention. Whether it's due to wear and tear or factory flaws, these problems can manifest in several ways, impacting your vehicle's performance and reliability.
Common indicators that your VW Caddy (2015 to present) reconditioned engine might be failing include unusual noises, reduced fuel efficiency, and engine misfires. Underlying causes often range from overheating due to coolant loss, to oil leaks or even failures in the timing belt or water pump. Such issues not only degrade the engine's performance but can also lead to severe engine damage if not addressed promptly.
Repairing a VW Caddy (2015 to present) reconditioned engine typically begins with a thorough diagnosis to pinpoint the exact problem. This might involve everything from compression tests to in-depth inspections of the crankshaft and camshaft. Depending on the severity, solutions could range from replacing worn-out parts to a complete engine overhaul, which can be quite costly and time-consuming.
Are you faced with the decision to repair or replace your van's engine? Here’s why selling your VW Caddy and perhaps upgrading to a new vehicle might be a more advantageous route:
Cost Efficiency: The costs of repairing or reconditioning an engine can quickly accumulate, sometimes surpassing the residual value of the vehicle. Selling your van could potentially free up resources that can be invested in a newer model with fewer maintenance needs and better performance.
Time Savings: Dealing with repair shops and waiting for your van to be fixed can disrupt your schedule, especially if your vehicle is essential for your business or daily activities. Selling your van to a service like Vandervan is hassle-free, offering a 30-second online quote and next-day collection from anywhere in the UK.
Risk Avoidance: A reconditioned engine, while a feasible short-term solution, doesn't always guarantee the end of your troubles. There might be other underlying issues that could arise, leading to more unforeseen expenses and challenges.
If you're considering the next steps for your VW Caddy, think about the benefits of starting afresh with a newer van. At Vandervan, we make the process effortless and secure.

It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
