I've had caddy from 1997 5 in total. 2 mk1s. Then a 1.9tdi.1.6tdi 2.0 tdi. Always used she'll vpower diesel. Run from new to 90000 miles never had injector issues. Now have 2.0 tdi highline 69 plate. No issues on shell vpower every time

I own a 1.6tdi caddy on my second injector, it's a common fault apparently. Plus the stretch bolt snapped when removing it, big job to put it right. Nice colour van btw

Hi great video , looking to get a caddy myself but am a bit concerned about the lack of a 6th gear . As i do alot motorway driving , what rpm does your van sit at 70mph (120kmh)

Be sure to replace the injection bolts , as soon as you can, the bolts have a tendency to snap .an expensive fix on the cylinder head otherwise, it’s a bad design 1 bolt per 2 injector.

Good to see you got the issues sorted man, I was aware of the injectors when looking at caddys, should have been a major recall for them all imo. Be prepared for your remaining two oem ones to probably fail in turn eventually though 😂 Whats the diagnostic plug in that you use and is it the same one you use on the focus too? Seems good if you can add in features such as needle sweep and scan for problems on a phone app too!

@xiolage Жыл бұрын

Thanks Mark, kind of expecting the other 2 to go very shortly so hopefully its covered under the warranty. We use Carly for the VW and Forscan for the Focus. Carly doesn’t work with Fords, but Forscan is a massively great tool to have for very cheap. 😁

How's the golf doing? I bought mine (CAYC 2011 model) about 10 months ago. Drives okay but I had to take it to the shop every month with some part failing. Recently it's drinking the collant every 5-600 km and this is it's final straw. It's either going to be sold or scrapped. A bloody shame. It would be a great car if it was reliable. But currently it's just buyers remorse.

@colin5064 9 ай бұрын

If your golf is loosing coolant thers a very good chance you have a leak in your EGR cooler valve,it appears to be quite common on these tdi

@J-Kimble 9 ай бұрын

@@colin5064 it was replaced already by a recall. Could be it's acting up again. But it's fine for 5-600km, I've read somewhere that these intermittent coolant loss issues are caused by a semi-blocked heater core. Anyway, car's cost me enough already, could have bought a much younger car for what I've already spent on it. I'm getting rid of it.

I feel for you. I had two injectors go within a week of each other... two weeks after picking up my Caddy. I was bloody furious at it. So I've got another 2 'S' injectors to replace next month (they're sat in the Caddy itself just incase) before the other two go as they're still factory at 155K miles. But yeah, bloody annoying and VW should have recalled them because I've seen them go after only 10,000 miles. Its a roll of the dice tbh.
