Help with T6 caravelle
Wondering if anyone where knows much about the t6 caravelle
We have the 2.0l BiTDi and we dont know what to do. It starts rough (almost always) and it smokes on startup and when we accelerate (not black smoke, grey and sometimes white when it has sat a few days on startup) It honestly doesn’t feel any slower than when we bought it but its always been sluggish when driving away from a stop (not sure if this is normal)
I have tried to do so much research and i haven’t gotten anywhere
My research says it could be worn piston rings, which is easily a R100k/ €5k job or more and we dont have that type of money just laying around. It could also be a blocked EGR or DPF (this is what mechanic swears it is)
But the thing is i read up if i do a EGR clean with the revs high and all that and theres problems with the piston which can cause the engine to clunk out or catch fire.
Not to mention all the electrical problems this car has too.
Im honestly over this van and its been the worst financial mistake of my life. We’ve only owned it for a year and we are still paying the interest we owe on the finance. We literally owe more on the car than what it was listed for still
We cant afford this anymore!! Im hopeless.
