Hi all.
I have run VW Transporters from T4 to my new T6. The T5.2 and T6 4 Motion DSG models have both been fitted with VB AIR all round. To say one thing my vans are always well over weight all the time. my last van weighed 3.9 Tons all its life over 4 years and 140.000 miles, We have never had any problems with the VB system fitted even at this weight. it makes the van appear unloaded to other people, and makes a massive difference to the drive of the vehicle loaded. Let me just say my new 204 BITDI DSG 4 MOTION has been fitted with the latest VB AIR system with air tank and is now 3.6 ton in weight now drives and feels better than the day i picked up from the dealer unloaded. I know that people will never test these vans to my extremes. But all i can say that the air system can cope with these big loads. Pity regard engine on t5,2 2.0 180 BITDI. Not a patch on the T5 2.5 5 cylinder TDI, and sure the new 204 BITDI will never match that old T5 work horse in any area. Thats all about emissions how sad.But i will say one thing the new 204 BITDI engine regardless of the weight is defo a massive improvement on the the underpowered 180 BITDI, Even though add blue fitted. DPF was never the best anyway including the engine.
