Afternoon,
Our first van, and first ever diesel, and to my surprise actually pretty nippy is the 150 around town with its 250ft lb at 1500rpm, but seems a bit gutless much above 2k. Not a huge issue, but we are at the point where we are going to be building and putting some furniture etc in it. Also going up steep hills around the cotswolds can sometimes require way more dropping down of gears and revving than I would like at lower speeds (rolling and when the van is at speed though is fine).
Our van has 136k on the clock now, is a 2016 150 6 speed. We had a new clutch and flywheel 1k ago for peace of mind.
Engine did over 120k in its first few years, suspect mostly motoway or A road / longer journeys for mileage as it was an AA van.
We have the print out from them, with job sheets etc, was serviced every six months without fail, engine and turbo is quiet and smooth.
I normally steer clear of high mileage vehicles, but with seeing so many vans doing 200k plus easily and our van doing its mileage in just a few years and always being serviced and in great condition, we went for it (couldn’t resist black and yellow theme either - too cool imo
).
Anyway, thus it brings me on to my question.
Do EU6 with adblu and dpf map OK? What maps do people have on their t6 and what mileage? Any issues? Do the turbos cope with the extra boost OK? Are there risks with it being a eu6 with dpf or adblu system?
We only get I believe 50ft lb more peak with a map looking around, but importantly broader power band it seems and that peak power much higher so I assume it will just give it that extra oomph with load in the back to make it seem like its empty, and especially up those hills on 50mph roads. Assume stock clutch also being new will be fine?
Should it be good, or would you guys steer clear? Any input and comments welcome
