Decided the Audi A6 3.0 quattro needing swapping in... so this is the new daily. Officially a 2 camper household.
I've got one too. Just had the gearbox done ( OMFG PRICE ) . finding some replacement bits for the interior trim and bumper trim as we speak and going in to have the tyres changed to uniroyals in an hour or so. Cost a lot so far, but I do love an original Caravelle of any of the series. Jeez the bits are expensive!
LWB T32 - there was no point going SWB - would only regret it, its only 40 cm bigger than the audi! Yeah I spent ages looking for a low mileage, 6 speed, tailgate with air con model that already fully converted. Amazed what you get for your money compared to a bay. Its got improved suspension through Bilstein coilovers and that makes it really nice to drive. Any pics of yours?
Yes I have them on my phone. I might upload a few later, but it's in to have the tyres done and then over to have a quote on putting right some poor bodywork repairs after that, so may be a while before she's back to her stunning best. I might have her mapped back to 130 after too, the torque at 170 is going to wreck the new dual mass.
Looks really nice. Mines stock 140 on 6 speed box. Thinking about a remap but can't say I need it yet..
Mines a 6 speed box, just had it reconditioned and a new clutch and dual mass fitted. Nearly £2k all in, he reckons the remap did it no favours at all.
No, sorry I’m trying to contact the po to get more details and why they had such a shoddy job done on the sliding door repair on the passenger side. It’s passable to a blind man, but I may get a quote and leave it until I’ve been to France in August as the french have an habit of knocking vans about when they’re parking.
I’m not over selling my T4 yet. I loved that old caravelle. I’ll be very lucky if this T5 is half as reliable as that one. They may be comfortable and have all the toys, but when they go wrong they seriously hurt your pocket.
I would have bought it. I love the colour. Did you get my phone message. I thought I saw your van and trailer over here on wednesday night!
