3:50 always worth noting, is 5m is often the length limit between paying 'car' rates & paying 'van' rates for ferries in many places. For instance Western Ferries in Scotland (Calmac the limit is 6m)

I like the outside look of the T 6.1 with Leightons vans front splitter. I only wish they continues with the T6.0 car-like comfort dashboard, along with the foot rest. I was very lucky to have managed to obtain in March a brand new highest spec'd T6.0 Highline with a Kenwood upgrade.

So… at the end of a 30yr career… next week is when I will be buying my van for full-time Vanlife… I have been looking at Vans in general for about 5 years but in earnest after a change in domestic circumstances for about the last year. So this video was very timely…. I am as nervous as I am excited.

If you really are at a point where you feel the need to hack your partners passwords it’s time to move on, it is very sad that you feel the need to either not trust them or want that control over them, maybe a maturity or morality pill will save your controlling possessive nature, but nothing will stop your green eyed monsters living inside. It is a very sad way of living your very short lives!

Thanks for the video man! I may be looking to buy a transporter or Vito next year, leaning toward vw tho. Probs looking to spend £5/7. I’m a painter, but keep my vans pretty clean! I want an auto gearbox and something with good power - enough to make it pleasurable to drive! Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!
@togfiado2 жыл бұрын
When you talk about known faults like the DMF I think I must have got a good'un (no problems)> But you don't mention the 5th gear failure which the company that rebuilt my gearbox were very casual about being a regular problem. Love my 200k+ T5 to the extent that I just took the plunge into Lithium leisure battery territory, Had to fit Victron DC-DC as the split charger isn't up to it and it seemed weird spending £800 on a 12 year old van, but as you say they hold their value (especially given the demand during covid) and I reckon even though it can be a money pit, if you stick to the practical not the bling it'll still pay you back in the end. And as you mentioned, I've got mates with transits who have had worse problems with a van that's relatively worthless after 10 years. Caveat Emptor.

Just recently bought a Fiat Talento lwb 170 bhp diesel combi onyx edition, much more van, for much less money and in my opinion looks nicer as well. OK for sensible people who are not badge snobs.
@CorpsMedia3 жыл бұрын
Agree, but the I'd argue about the sensible bit, if you bought a T6 3 years ago and added 20k miles on it you would make money selling it. Your fiat will be half the price in 3 years. There are not many vehicles you can make money on, and with a transporter it's possible but at the very worst the depreciation will be minimal. To me that's a sensible vehicle choice for people that think about the future rather than just the now.

Awesome content mate! I'm in Australia & wanted your thoughts, I'm looking at a Multi T5 Highline 2010 twin turbo tomorrow, the seller had the turbos replacements 10,000Kms ago, ($8K later) but now is having smoke & limp mode comes up from time to time. Seller said it's likely the dpf, however he got that cleaned & serviced a few weeks ago, worked fine for 2 weeks & same issue again - stated it will most likely need to be replaced as what the mechs said. The price is very good, well below others & has done 160K, your thoughts on the issue? Any help would be amazing! Thanks Adam
@CorpsMedia3 жыл бұрын
smoke and limp mode can be EGR or DPF related, would be impossible to confirm without diagnostics though. Maybe worth buying a code reader and checking it out.

@@CorpsMedia Thanks for the heads up & speedy reply, yeah I'll check with my mechanic & see if he'll lend me one or source one to run diagnostics. It's a tough call as I'm wondering if more issues ahead with the twin turbo version? Bu the price is about $8-9K lower than the usual listing price for a Mulitvan. Thanks

I’m a moderator on the vwT5 forum. Great video mate. The most sought after van is a 150ps model as comes with a 6 speed box. Some lower models like the 85 and 102ps only have a 5 speed box. The newer 7 speed DSG box is fantastic and comes mated with the 204ps (199 bhp) .
