In Australia:
T5.1 generation of Multivan (from about 2011) came with either a single-turbo TDi engine rated at 103Kw or its twin-turbo variation with 132Kw.
T6 generation (from 2016) kept the...
The good thing about the standard headlights is that one can level them manually for the desired throw distance. The LEDs (judging by the spec only) are listed as self-levelling, so can't be...
This is absolute physics: a heavy front-wheel-drive car will put a lot of demand on front wheel tyres. The kit, you mentioned, might help when there is uneven wear, but it will do nothing to alter...
Multivans will always chew thru (front) tyres fast, something to accept. I'd recommend Michelin PRIMACY 4 235/55R17 103W which seem to be on special at bob jane.
a T5 or T6 is compatible with a 6.1 as the railing system is the same. However, over time the older tables become a bit brittle, so the newer the table, the better.
Offset is different between T6 and Amarok rims. I tried 17" inch Amarok rims, they made hanlding feel wierd, I would guess the same effect from 18" Amarok wheels. I ended up with 18" Multivan...
I have spent a lot of time in vain trying to assertain if Multivan's 2nd and 3rd row seats have any Load-Limitors on seat belts. Still not sure. Maybe I will just take apart one of the spare...
Would you have some reference to confirm this? I do not see how this could be so, because the side wall hight difference between 235/65 and the factory 235/55 is 23mm, which is way more than the 7mm...
1.) the local mechanic would not have had the equipment needed to properly change DSG oil, so it might be worth it to book it for that to a VW dealer. Ask the Dealer to also do a "calibration drive"...
I thought that it is illegal to install tyre size that changes the wheel radius by more than 7mm? (not that I care, just trying to ascertain if I am understanding the rules correctly).
About "•Some small rattling sound from dashboard".
It might be coming from the DSG lever. When rattling happens, try grabbing the lever to check if it comes form there.
These wheels, there are 7.5" in width, whereas the genuine Multivan 18" wheels are 8". I have my Multivan on the genuine 18"x8", and handling feels great, much better than it was on the previous...
In terms of either variant not being able to copy in soft sand. From reading other reviews of DSG-equipped cars, it seems that DSG may overheat in softsand. I assume that would be due to the...
These Konis do give a very soft smooth ride. That was their point, to be both soft and well handling. Other options, I came across, were focus on off-road applications.
HI D. I bought both fronts and rears from BalanceMotorsport, which is an online shop in the UK. The AU distributor was out of stock at the time, and there was a price difference too. You can get...
If I could not wait for 6.1, I'd be looking at the new Hi-Ace, purely on the basis of it being the newest model of the class.
You are right in the sense that the Offset is not hugely different.
The bigger problem with Amarok rims is their different width. 7.5J vs 8.0J in 18". 8.0J vs 7.0J in 17".
Myself and...
I highly recommend the ones from Costco (I think Michelin brand), fitted my 5.1 both front and rear.
The ride on 18" can indeed be very good as you can buy much better tyres in 18" size. I ran Michelin Pilot Sport 4, 255/45r18, they are great.
Handling on 18"s also improves, as they are 8" wide...
With the Multivan having travelled 140k KMs, i am becoming more open to experimentation.
So, installed K&N Performance Air Filter, which seems to be the same part number for all T5/T6 regardless of...
Hi Scott, the remove sun blind mechanism by "popping it out", do you assume that or know for sure?
(My roller sun blind in the door got ripped, I could not remove it by "popping it out". Took...
Not more torque in Diesel: Miltivan TDI 340 has 340 NM whcih is less than Multivan TSI 350 with 350 NM.
TDI also has more noise, vibration, narrow power band, not much power in reserve at higher...
Rear shocks are $150 installation (45min work). Between $400 and $650 for rear shocks themselves, depending if sourced o/s or locally .
Front struts are around $700 installation (4h work). Between...
My Multivan became very unpleasant to ride in by 136k kms, especially in the rear bench where it became very harsh, I was dreading any trips in it.
Took the plunge and installed Koni's new product...
