    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.

    I bought my volkswagen transporter T5(30) 174bhp 3years ago and have never had any problems at all.....fantastic van and it does everything effortlessly.I especially love driving my van on the motorways it really does eat those miles a good driving position and with cruise control all those 50mph road works are not a problem.Fuel economy is real good for a van of this size I regularly achieve over 35mpg it has good grip to the road and I would recommend the bridgestone tyres...excellent.I am fin ...

    Brilliant van that is both practical and fast. Like a car to drive. I absolutly love mine. 174bhp is mint and takes some beating from any car. My dad has an A6 which aint much quicker (although will go round corners like a train).

    Great cool looking van. looks cool, drives fast......leaves cars behind, 4 wheel drive, space...... better fuel efficiency than your average jeep, 35 mpg...
    No bad points, if you compare with orther vans, expensive!

    Had the Volkswagen Transporter T30 174bhp Van for 6 months now, use it every day either work (builder) or at w/ends (fishing).
    Around town steering is light, an agile van. Out on the open road its great fun, getting rid of my TD4, the 174 is much better to drive and live with. Best bit about the van is the amount of car drivers you leave behind, this van is fast. I have a chip in it and now its great fun.
