    Dealer should have all this sorted before sale, but typically they don’t.

    That's a head gasket fail mate, I drive these new ones daily since they first came out, they have a known issue. Vw garage mechanic admitted it to me. They also suffer seriously from drive shafts failure at 30,000 miles. My 2021 trendline has been done 3 times and the head once! Good luck mate I hope it's a blown pipe but I doubt it.

      It was a split pine under the header tank

      @INDI_VAN_A_JONES Vanlife UK glad it was just a pipe, but keep an eye on the water usage in case👍👍

    Been watching your channel for 6 months now since your £700 Micro Camper Conversion video. I left a comment on that video saying "might not be exactly how I would of done it but really enjoyed the build". I'm enjoying watching you progress, learn and how you overcome challenges. Your new van looks great. Can't wait for future videos. Keep your videos entertaining, educating and honest. Can't wait to see the final product.

    Nice easy fixes. I hope the coolant issue a big issue. Can you please do some sort of an out row as your vids finish very abruptly and doesn’t give me the chance to like the vid. (Sorry to be a pain 😄) can’t wait to see how the build progresses.

      The coolant was just a split pipe under the header tank :)

    You should of let the van go at this point return it and get a Vw crafter with the Sprinter body they have more parts available for customisation

    It's taken my brother-in-law the best part of £6000 to sort his 2012 Crafter out. They're shite.....over complicated to meet EU laws.

    Even more reason to avoid these newer vehicles. The build quality is crap and are very expensive to fix when they go wrong.
