New transport

[sweat69]

Ok I'm getting rid of the zafire and I'm getting a T5
I already have a 69 bay and 2 bugs.
Which one is the best one to get?

Maybe try posting some q's on here

Or perhaps ask down your local plumbers/builders merchants for their opinion?

:lol:

I think he may be on about spec / engine etc. The nephew has one that is a bit like the starship enterprise inside and luxurious ain`t the word but I`m a bit useless when they was rattling on about the engine as it weren`t air cooled ,,, I didn`t really listen,, sort of pretended and nodded every now and then. The brother in law has one as well and I`m afraid the same thing happened there :roll: His bus is in the T4 T5 magazine this month and it`s a blue one with BIG PAPA as a number plate and that`s all I know about them ,,,,,,,,, apart from evryone in that `Scene ' says to get the long wheel based one as it`s about 18" longer which makes all the difference apparently :mrgreen:

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, It`s not all about size,,,,,,,,,, is it :lol: :lol:

Yeah I think I want the lwb 6 speed 2.5l 174bhp do they do the
Executive model in lwb?

I'm also looking at getting a t5 as my work vehicle. I'm swaying towards the sportline kombi. 5 seats like a car but only company van tax

 

[shiplee123]

I still don't know what's going on ?
If not the bay, I'll take the bugs lol

 

[shiplee123]

All jokes set aside
I can understand getting a new vehicle for every day purposes !

No I think you are on the right one. I'm just looking for a young t5 for my 69bay
I think he wants a partner. 8)

I've got a 2.5 lwb 130 T30

It's been remapped to about 170 and got loads of torque as well

would definitely choose the 2.5 over the 1.9

 

[sweat69]

A lot of people say the 1.9l is more reliable?
How about the 2l 140bhp new one.

 

[rallye dale]

Mines got 106k on it now bought it nearly new, only ever been regularly serviced , theres 3 different codes for the 2.5, AXE, AXD and BNZ Mines a BNZ

Dont know how the new 2.0ltr ones are like but would only buy the 140 or above because of the 6 speed box

Had a 2.5 t5 130 bhp, went like poo of a shovel, handled well, reliable it was not!!!! starting issues hot and cold, dual mass flywheel, knocking gearbox / driveshaft splines!! this had a full vw history , 2 owners , and 120k. it was an early one about 2005 but then I know of people with 2011 vans (T5) that are having reliability issues!!!
Would not touch one with a barge pole!!!

I've got 1.9td t28 . never missed a beat from new (58reg) . the bigger engine ones seem to be more problematic from what I've read. think vw have ironed out the creases nowadays but I wouldn't fancy an older one.

my 1.9 drives like a car and it's shifty enough.

The 2.0 engines were introduced. The standard 2.5 L V6 engine was carried over, while a 3.0 L version was developed for the ST220 and higher trim models
They are just so much better than the other one.. the other one... the one with the .. one turbo ...but you dont want the turbo because you wont get the MPG with that one :suicide: :suicide: :suicide: :lol: :lol:
