Nice Van.Transit connect
17 plate 26000 miles from new
If I gotta travel more than 10 miles to a job, Don’t wanna know
If I can’t park within 6 mtrs of property, Don’t wanna knowView attachment 635463
It was a 1.9 and seemingly suffered every VW fault known. Ill not bore you with the full list but included dual mass flywheel (the passats failed two just 2 weeks before the warranty expired!), drive shaft splines (not greased on assembly by the factory), fuel radiator corrosion, coolant pipe corrosion, glow plug loom failure, rear spring breakage (used by an antique dealer previously so hardly overloaded) - the list went on. It did have plus points such as euro 4 tax band, economical for its size. Over £3500 in repairs over 3 years was a bitter pill to swallow for a 50,000 miler though.Sounds like it was probably a 2.5?!
Sorry to hear you've had a rough run of VW&co stuff. Of 20+ VAG vehicles over the last 15 odd years I've only had one really problematic one, and that was a GTD Golf that turned out to have a hole in a piston.
Sounds like you'be got a peach in that Tourano though
Agreed pal it's a nightmare,I hate S10 never any parking and they all have attic bedrooms which getting materials up is a right pain let alone all the tools
It adds 5 X more time to the jobs too.
Is that Diesel or petrol? I have got a petrol 7 seater Vauxhall Combo 4 life which I used for short trips as diesel dpf dont like it
Hi pal it's a diesel,it's my first relatively new van I've only had older ones,I was surprised by the power and good mpg for a small engine
Yeah the diesels are very fugal on fuel but the Adblue is problematic especially on short journeys,My workshop is only 2.6miles away so it would Fcukup in no time
Oh right do they need to get up to temperature to work correctly
No the Adblu is just a shite creation all together which could leave you stranded if it decides to give a false reading to say that you don't have enough in the tank even tho you do! and DPF filters are prone to clogging if only used for short trips where it doesn't get hot enough,I had the Adblu mapped out of my Transit and I have never put any in it since I bought it,I use my Petrol Combo to get to work and my Diesel Transit if going out for more than a couple of hours
I'm Pest Control - so no heavy gear, but, you don't know what you need until you get there, so have to take a bag full of gear - save you backwards and forwards all day.Brilliant palwhat trade are you
Yeah I get that pal
