2021 VW Transporter 6.1 review | Edd China's in-depth review | What Car?

[@FlorinC1984]

We want more Ed China! More Ed China! MORE ED CHINA! It's because we like Ed China. And we like his on-point reviews.

[@simonhodgetts6530]

So nice to see Edd presenting content again! He’s been missed!

[@andrewgray9703]

Too true, we need him back on the tools too Simon.

[@LFC_since1970]

Couldn’t agree more... missed you Edd

[@mounirabbane4946]

Why what happened???

[@caseyzayne8987]

dont know if anyone cares but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the new series on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend these days :)

[@terrellbraxton19]

@Casey Zayne Yea, I have been using instaflixxer for years myself =)

[@bobmarley6161]

Definitely Edd China a genuinely nice guy.... Hope to see more of him he's... Fantastic.... Good to see you back mate.... Your a legend....

[@Petrrii]

I've seen this guy in a show where him and another dude were buying cars and repair them ,I loved it,can't believe it's him:))

[@sabarish810]

IIRC its Wheeler Dealers

[@timjefferson1886]

@@sabarish810 Whoosh!

[@lewisb02]

Miss him on wheeler dealers. Not a huge fan of the new guy.

[@andy2231]

I used to love watching Wheeler Dealers. He's a great presenter.

[@001razz]

I see Edd I smile and watch

[@blicknessraven]

The VW Transporter T6 is that vehicle that can pretty much go through the rest of time just being facelifted and tweaked. It's just that perfect as an appliance.

[@bimlico]

Edd is a genius. He was the lynchpin of Wheelers & Dealers and I was really sorry to see him go. If you bought a 2nd hand car from Edd you knew it would be perfect. Hope this channel is a big success Edd.

[@KnowPorcelain1]

nice to see Ed back, but as a van driver, I would have liked to have known about Payload, visability, stability under load, turning circle, electric windows, AC, and MPG and cost.

[@Negito-b6u]

Edd is probably the major reason we are drawn to this review.

[@EmmetPowermootski]

Ed you're making the transporter look compact !! Love your work

[@volt8684]

Hi Ed, great to see you back. A talent like you and your huge popularity seems to me that u need your own channel doing what you do best. You would have no problem amassing 000’s of subscribers. Get repairing/tinkering its what we want😬

[@mrshah8025]

Sad to see Edd China’s reviewing instead of fixing, up rating and just using his genius hands work on every type of of vehicle! :( Edd needs to revive pimp your ride uk!! :)

[@thierryeydoux1301]

Je suis français , et j adoré comment EDD PRESENTE !!!! PAS COMME L AUTRE MECANO DE WHEELER DEALER !!!!!!😋CONTINUE EDD !!!!!! 😍😍😍😍

I love Edd China...I wish he lived in my garage!

[@robertl2856]

More Edd please

[@googleuser4467]

Well said What Car for getting Edd in front of the camera. Please feature Edd in more car reviews.

[@jaykay5369]

Edd China - Instant Like!!!

[@denizbahrin6745]

Mr China, brilliant as usual! Great review! The only problem I see with T6.1 is the design doesn't allow a tall bloke fit nicely on the driver's seat. Looking forward for the next video.

[@granttaylor8179]

FYI Ed is 6'7"

[@whatliesbeneathurbanexplor1631]

My 04 t5 1.9 tdi is still going strong it's the AXC engine very economical. Also I'd prefer a closed glove box with a lock. But the t6 is a good looking van. But they have made them smaller width and length

[@Sim_Tiby]

It has the same dimensions.

[@jl-wc5hh]

That T shirt is definitely aimed at Mike brewer, I'd rather see you whip the engine out edd like the old days

[@vc2616]

Good to see Ed Back !

[@chiukevin7247]

Nice to see you Ed!

[@robvanduren761]

In depth review ? Where do I find that ?

[@kasirmir1925]

Love Edd. More Edd, please 👍🏻 Fantastic review and very entertaining.

[@tombrehony6277]

Has the security been improved on the t 6.1,,,, and is the dsg gearbox unreliable? Other than that the transporter is a great van .

[@renaultcosworth3230]

we miss you Edd China 👍

[@smelbo8]

Great to see you again edd

[@romeowhiskey1146]

The ONLY vehicle REVIEW I've watched that DOESN'T ACTUALLY show DETAILED VIDEO of the CABIN or REAR CARGO area. C'mon Edd...less WORDS...more VIDEO.

[@D_L_J_83]

Hi Edd! I’m having trouble deciding between the T6.1 and the Ford Transit Custom. Any insights on which would probably be more reliable?

[@GutsDovakjin]

Hey there! I'm currently facing the same dilemma. Cannot solidly decide on one of them. Did you end up buying one of the two or probably gained some insight on which one is the better one?

[@D_L_J_83]

@@GutsDovakjin I decided on a transporter, the height was probably a non-negotiable for me as I regularly go into car parks with a height restriction of 2m

[@GutsDovakjin]

@@D_L_J_83 Thank you so much for your reply! That is a concern for me as well.

[@mundomagico7787]

@@D_L_J_83 I never thought of that. Good point!

[@AJ-qn6gd]

Depends how long you intend keeping it !

[@colin5577]

Super helpful. I now know to avoid the 6.1 and look for a 6.

[@michelle.lima5]

Nice to see you back on air Ed :)

[@krisztianberkes6937]

Best of minivan in the world ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@GregsMowing]

The front styling is horrible. Prefer the t6. But nothing looks better than the transit van. Coming to a transporter soon🤔

[@joenest2122]

2:50 Digital instruments cannot be added to the T6.1 panel van. They're only available for the Caravelle.

[@james011974]

I was thinking of looking at a 2019 2.0 102 5 speed t6 swb. Any advice ?

[@mikeydapikey]

It was a good quick review thanks not to long and concise !

[@kevinwyatt9771]

I had a T5 174PS. Preferred my transit tourneo for comfort and front seat space. much cheaper than the VW and lasted a lot longer!

[@Tiswhattitis]

Ed you ok mate? You look knackered!!

[@limpunsing224]

An adept automotive reviewer like Ed China should his You/Tube channel

[@jonathanwoodhead5659]

Digital cockpit is not available on a panel van. Tried to get it on mine that I ordered only last week!

[@peterblue1100]

Very informative and easy on the ears ! Really great review ! Thank you Edd

[@V_Dubya]

Good signing from What Car!

[@g4okt]

So the standard version doesn't have a rear power socket?

[@mikebrewer5372]

Nice one Edd... I remember that Tee when you where stood next to me!

[@lanehogger1532]

You recommend the DSG. High mileage drivers won’t appreciate the 40k service intervals for this gearbox.

[@theconspiracyfactualist.144]

Or when it totally fucks up just after warranty has expired.

[@michaeldoe6548]

If I has a load length of over 2.5m, they must have taken space from the cabin? Only way I can get a 2.4m sheet in the back is corner to corner

[@J0nny61]

Wow that's massively expensive.

[@kitecattestecke2303]

Yes you are not part of the Volk if you don't have deep pockets for a car.... Wont buy this overpriced box from a Diesel cheater compoany

[@AndrejGobec]

More Edd China!!!

[@James_Dilkes]

Edd China doing reviews now? Yes I think I will subscribe then!

[@leonardeggleton7100]

Come on boys give Ed his own program

[@haryadipoedjisudrajat9795]

Kapan main di wheeler dealer lagi? Semoga di kota saya akan ada engineer sehandal Edd.. 😄👍🏻

[@williamsjoinery8186]

Great to have you back in the public eye and hopefully this is a stepping stone to seeing more of you! PS. What did you do to your thumb?

[@StevenVanLoven]

My T5 works perfect after 13 years and I love it . I like the new Vans but way to expensive for ....just a Van.

[@1pritzel]

Same here Steven, except my t5, needed some ECU repairs this month £1300, BUT I can't complain, she's a workhorse and it owes me diddly. Considering its 17 yrs old and little work over its long life ..(just gearbox/flywheel replacement...wear & tear to be expected)

[@robvanduren761]

These vans are awesome. You pay for things like galvanized dipped body. Also a lot of high tensile steel. ETC ETC. Only criticisms are the stupid gearbox is in 2nd gear at 4kph doing a U turn. Use mauual mode in 1st gear instead. Also tyres wear out in 30.000 km. I put some Cooper Discoverer AT3 on it but it's fuel economy is screwed. I brought the T6 because my petrol and diesel T5 were awesome.

[@Asator66]

Aren't all vans galvanized?

[@forza223bowe5]

Does it have an electronic handbrake!

[@amedina1665]

Edd is the best presenter and has had more experience than most jokers from KZbin.

[@colingroves335]

Nice review Edd, i didnt think id be so interested in a van.

[@airborne652]

Just ordered the shuttle SWB in the same blue colour as in this vid. Looking forward to be part of the V Dub van community 🤟🏻

[@chrisblay]

Would be interested to see the Shuttle version of the T6.1

[@theenglishtrucker1849]

Edd, you're alive. Mike Brewer said he had you assassinated. Please bring out your own youtube show of YOU fixing and explaining things.

Hello Edd! We still love you man! 💖

Good to see Ed !! Am subscribed 👍

[@makrosikliklakton4180]

Edd CHİNA have millions fans from TURKİYE

[@thelivingdodo2]

That BiTDi engine makes 240 bhp in the Passat so there's plenty of potential for tuning there.

[@DanLMH]

Dunno I'm pretty sure the boys at Darkside Developments said the 2L BiTDI was one of the worst engines to tune... (Edit, that might have been the last gen Passat BiTDI)

[@thelivingdodo2]

They just put a video up on one today, got 274 bhp and about 430 lb/ft

[@TSVStriFe]

@@thelivingdodo2 Keep in mind that the transporter is way heavier then a passat, so the same engine wouldn't automatically mean it has the same specs. I mean same back with the Clio 3.0 V6 from the Espace. Smaller car thus getting more kick from that engine.

[@britishstudio1825]

Best in class, no doubt. It is more expensive, but you get what you pay for, it is massively better to drive and better made compared to the Ford Transit. It’s just better in every way, the Ford is so unreliable and bouncy to drive. This is a sophisticated van, and for a long term investment this will save you money.

[@Asator66]

fishy

[@janozkk]

We need this in the USA, even if built in Mexico. I promise to buy a new one . How about. 2022 model ?

[@GreginMD]

I think I can deal with Edd reviewing cars, but a VW minivan? And not even a passenger minivan, but a utility minivan??? No style whatsoever. I mean, the man has revived Porsches, Lamborghinis and Corvettes - among many other cool vehicles. But still, it's great to see Edd, and I hope this leads to better things than "Built By Many," or "Edd China's Garage Revival." We are the faithful after all! Hoping that this works for the Big Man!

[@lesfernandez888]

Why doesn't he still have his own TV show?

[@Stoneheadification]

because he's not enough of a sellout. I still like him though.

[@blarkdexture8899]

Don't know where you got the specs from Edd but wireless charging and load through bulkhead options aren't available in the UK ☹️.

[@tanelpolts7257]
