G'day people,
In local parlance I've just bought a dual cab ute... or tray top to be more precise but as the glovebox manual is yet to arrive I'm trying to figure out exactly what I've got in Volkswagen jargon.
I know it's black, 4motion, 6 speed manual sadly without a rear diff lock. There's factory alloy wheels installed by the dealer, better aftermarket tray, drawers, air helper springs & Bilstein dampers all round. I'm lead to believe it's a 4cyl 2litre diesel and there's a couple turbos that make 132kW/400Nm (175 'awsepower / 180PS?)

What have I gone and bought..?
G'day people, In local parlance I've just bought a dual cab ute... or tray top to be more precise but as the glovebox manual is yet to arrive I'm trying to figure out exactly what I've got in Volkswagen jargon. Being an antipodean model I suspect it was shipped on Noah's boat and thus took...
Hi All, after dreaming for a long time (apparently I've had this account for a few years!), a storm totalled my Amarok as a result I'm very recently the proud owner of a T6 4motion (ex speed van from Canberra, giving it a new life away from its sordid past of revenue raising). Not going full camper conversion, it's mainly going to be in support of surfing/snowboarding/skating/mountain biking adventures. Currently looking at just how modular/reconfigurable I can get this thing 
Hi all. I've just purchased a 2018 T6,
LWB Transporter
4MOTION
locking diff
TDI450
Roo bar
Tow bar
Roof racks
18inch alloys ( maybe not so good for outback roads)
I'll be converting it into a camper for some touring in Australia.
Hope to find tips and tricks, suppliers and recommendations re. the conversion.
Cheers, Robert

Hi Allradbus, first of all I hope you’re still happy with your van!!
I’m all new here as I only ordered my very first VW transporter last week.
I was wondering if your van has the BMT , which is the Bleu Motion Technology??
I test drove the T6.1 last week with DSG front wheel drive and 340 nm/ 150 HP engine, which had the start / stop system and the add Bleu technology.
Eventually I ordered a 4 motion with DSG and the 200 HP / 450 nm version, only to find out next day that here in Australia the BMT isn’t available on this van.
I’m not worried at all, just curious.

Greetings all and thanks for a great forum I have a 2012 LWB Transporter and will take delivery late this week of my NEW T6.1 LWB Transporter.
Actually pretty lucky to get one, they are very scarce here in Australia. Once I tart the new bus up I will post some pics. Will be setting it up for camping and shifting a lot of gear from the old to the new. A bit exciting
Now a question. I joined the forum, paid the extra to become a VIP, damn cheap really for what's on offer but every time I want to download anything, the system tells me to become a VIP member
Any solutions to this issue ??? I have waited a few days and still can't download . Thanks AA
PS If anyone is looking for a dual battery system with a 200ah Lithium unit have a look at this site. I have one of these I reckon it is the BEST
