So - anyone got the 140PS motor?Found a nice Kombi Highline 140... Similar power to my current estate car, any good in the Transporter? Official figures suggest it's "reasonable" on fuel

Yeah we've got a 140 Kombi Highline, had a 140 Passat before it. Van is much slower as you'd imagine, can easily get it over 40mpg though

Thanks - I can live with that... Figured that the 180 might be a bit thirsty (and unecessary)

So, what should a T5 Kombi be registered as? Always as a light goods?

Have got my 180 DSG Cali now. Chalk and cheese compared to the 140 manual. Economy wise not a great difference. Maybe 1 to 2mpg. DSG is sweet and the "coasting" is a little odd to start with.

Comfy driving!No low first gear. The manual gearing is also a bit spaced out. DSG nips straight into second, smooth changes, great low down torque, better ratios more suited to the engine. Don't get me...

Mine's a 9 seater shuttle so it's classed as a car.

I've got a 180DSG, I can easily get 40+ mpg out of it, if I rag it, then it's more like 30mpg. Even managed 50mpg on a run down the M3 recently, the long stretch of 50mph roadworks helped no end.It's a...
