cfca 180 bhp engine, horrible
------------- -----------
Mate done the same thing back in 2017 and parked it outside the vw dealership until they took the van back.
"Worst van of the year 2017"
---------------- Ford Transit get some crap and roses too ----------
John R: "I had a 17 plate Crafter on lease worst van I’ve ever had. Sent it back early couldn’t wait to get rid of it. Had rust on rear doors within first six months, drove like crap, gutless, heavy clutch etc etc. Went on to Citroen’s which have been incredible."
Dave B: "I've got 17 plate one too... rust.. yep. Only needed a part of gear linkage in first 50000 miles. Booked in to get steering checked next week, rumbling steering rack 60000miles now. My 13 plate had new rack at 75k but apart from that and egr cooler getting replaced it was reliable to 100k."
Mark H: Sam D. you should do this with the transit
Barry M: MY FORD TRANSIT has rust 12 plate and only 3400ish not good enough is it. I will not buy another. I've had 4 and 2 are going rusty
Sam D. to Mark H not a bad idea at all! It got picked up yesterday let’s hope they can sort it this time! 70,000 miles and then a new engine followed by constant electrical problems just isn’t good enough for a £34,000 van!Mark Hales Sam Doble you should do this with the transit
Sam J: "I've got a mk7 transit (2011) 200k miles and it's not missed a beat. It didnt cost half what a VW would so how can they get it so wrong?"
Roy A "Not necessarily. I drive a Transit for a courier company. Theres 230000 miles on it. Its serviced regularly, and if it gives bother its sorted straight away by a trained mechanic. It runs like a watch and is very easy on fuel."
Bill S to Roy A: "Transits, are you joking, Transits have massive problems with rust and rot, ford clearly weren't interested in going down the same road as citroen, peugeot and fiat and galvanise dipping the shells, that lack of action caused misery to millions of transit owners when they realised they were literally rotting away in front of their eyes."
Scott M: "We have an older t5 ( 2005) 1.9 tdi as a dailyI, had it for 8 years now and it's just turned 242k miles.....other than normal service items it's been trouble free."
Attila F. "I should do the same on my Vivaro. Pile of shite."
Alessandro R. "I bought a new T6 (to be sure) and it was a nightmare for the beginning to the end. In 2 years ( apr17-sept 19)I went to the garage so many time, they changed me 2 times the EGR, 1 the radio and 1 the window and on top of that the t6 had ( had?) a faulty softwarethat was the result of the dieselgate, they promise it (not only to me obviosuly) for 2 years and never arrived. And I have also an external expertise from Dekra. they mock me ( as others) and they still get away with it.
edit: ah and I forgot the top, after two years at the official control they rejected me for a broken suspension, when I went to the VW garage, they check and said that everything was ok the "official" were wrong....really a nightmareAlessandro Rubagotti I bought a new T6 (to be sure) and it was a nightmare for the beginning to the end.

Bill S. "Same as the citroen relay paint peeling problems ,there is a company near us half the paint has peeled off, citroen say it's nothing to do with us, you lying bastards of course it's your problem you just dont want to stand the cost of repainting millions of vhicles free of charge."
Chris B" I couldn’t agree more, inspecting vans for a living they are overpriced. Trafic and masters are about the best."
