We run a fleet of VW Transporter T32 , 2.5 TDI ( 130 bhp ) vans, which spend most of their time on the motorway ; we have found that at around 100 k miles, the normally reliable vans start to suffer from serious problems - Drive Shafts / Turbos / Clutches / Water Pumps..we have worked out that a normal visit to a VW Van Centre Dealer will cost approx. £ 2700.00 to cure these problems. We will not use VW Transporter Vans again.
I was told by a Service Manager at VW that really we should only expect to have a reliable van for 100k then should buy a new one - not what you want to hear when you want your vans to last 5 years.
