As a master technician with over a decade and a half of experience in the field, I have encountered numerous cases of turbo faults, particularly with popular models like the VW Transporter T6. The period from 2015 to the present has seen a few recurring issues with this model, especially concerning the turbocharger system.
When the turbo system malfunctions, the symptoms are usually unmistakable. Owners of the VW Transporter T6 may notice a significant decrease in engine power, unusual noise emanating from the engine area, excessive exhaust smoke, or even a high-pitched whining sound. These are classic indications that the turbocharger may be experiencing problems.
Various factors could lead to turbocharger issues in your VW Transporter T6. Often, these faults stem from poor maintenance practices such as infrequent oil changes or using substandard engine oil, which can lead to a build-up of contaminants that harm the turbo system. Another common cause could be the natural wear and tear over time, which affects all mechanical components, including turbochargers.
Addressing a turbo fault typically involves a comprehensive evaluation, followed by either repairing certain components or replacing the turbocharger altogether. The repair process can sometimes be extensive and costly, as it might require the removal of multiple engine parts to access the turbo. This is a precise job that necessitates professional handling to ensure that no further damage is done to the engine.
Given the complexity and potential costs involved in repairing a turbo fault in your VW Transporter T6, you might wonder whether it's preferable to simply sell your vehicle.

Yes, you can indeed sell your financed van with vandervan even if it's under a Hire Purchase (HP) or Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) agreement.

Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
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.
