I think the Caddy needs to go...

- In today's video we follow my journey with this VW Caddy Maxi. It was a stressfull week with the Mini and my friends vehicles both breaking down outside my house, then the VW Caddy had a failed injector. This escalated when a copper washer fell into the engine and eventually pushed me to buying a different van.

Top job 👍🏽
Always cool, calm & collective in the face of adversity . .
I had the same problem with my caddy and it turned out to be the EGR value. Rather than replace it I know a guy who Re-Mapped the ECU and now it runs great.
I have Mk6 Golf with this engine and the nightmare has just started. Injector no.2 has failed on me 50km away and the car was not driveable, decided that towing was the best option. I've managed to install a second-hand injector in good condition and the car is back on the road, but I'm afraid that in this way I will have to carry a backup injector and pray that will come off easily as this time did...
Sound like mine these days,,nothing showed up on diagnostic but could tell by touching injector,,mine also had oil light come on a few years back,,it was blocked oil sieve,, 2012 1.6
The VAG stuff is the pinnacle of reliability 👍
Depends on the engine i think 🥲
You may have thought you got a bargain with that £150 injector, until you find out that it's totally impossible to refurb the electrical component (the part that fails). So what you actually have their is a used injector that has been dismantled and cleaned up to look like new but will have exactly the same problem as the existing one.
If i have this problem and i get brand new injectors will the electrical component be switched?
Looking forward to the new van
When's the video out?
Aiming to make a video every Sunday 😎
Damn you aren't having the best of luck. But great fix though. 👌
Any updates on the new van
Was it only injector problems you had with caddy? Cheers
Did you just change the 1? I heard ppl say you have to change all 4?
Poor caddy, he gave his best but his best wasn’t great rip
Nice van when it worked
1.6 TDI heap of dirt
You're mate Gavin is very handsome
I bet my caddy is shitter than his
why's that? is it covered in shit? did you do a shit inside it?
