The holy grail spec of TSI's.

I love my TSI but always wanted a tailgate DSG.

 

[MrG]

Anyone want to buy mine, need some funding to purchase a TSI

Some serious work has gone into that!

 

[TheGrapeEscape]

That's beautiful

 

[click83]

Love those Judd wheels

Reckon mines up there with that, a year newer and pretty similar mods.
Not quite sure of 50 large but if someone wants to buy it and prove me wrong I'll be very happy

So my 2019 t6 tsi with full history 13,500 miles was cheap for £7400

OK there is more to it.... its a disgusting hitop that I am removing and putting back to low roofline.

But even with a full paint to pure grey it's still super cheap

The one listed is beautiful but like the other guy said.... 50k. I would want it to earn me some serious money

 

[FerrisBFW]

"I would want it to earn me some serious money" I dare to ask how a van with a bed could earn you money?

 

[FerrisBFW]

Do petrol engines suffer with any of the short trip issues that kill diesels?

You got to be joking.

Don't compare any modern diesel to petrol

The tsi is the only van to buy, bit of course that's biased, but its a fact that most diesel owners won't accept.

Tsi is the way, go look at the prices of them... there is a reason for it

I'll never own another diesel vw again

It's the only van to buy...if you like peak torque three times higher up the rev range. It doesn't make for a relaxing drive.

If you can't afford to maintain a diesel don't buy one, but don't be kidding yourself a TSi is at all well suited to this application, particularly with a lardy camper conversion already aboard.

If you're a sprog and enjoy driving at 10/10ths everywhere then a TSi is right up your street. If you're a grown up who prefers less outright performance but of a more accessible nature then it isn't. After all, they were such a flop that VW killed them off and why I could have comfortably bought two TSi's for what I spent...but chose not to.

"can't afford to maintain a diesel don't buy one" Affording it has zero to do with it, ever since Euro5 came in and my experience of Euro6 they are not suited to short and/or slow trips.

Paying for all the replacement parts and silly servicing costs I have experienced with Euro6 vehicles just seems excessive, eg £2k servicing on a 35k miles Mits L200, mostly due to DPF and EGR 'servicing'. Not once did the yearly servicing cost PA/<5k miles drop below £850. I have friends with a LR Evoke that has the similar issues and costs much higher. Maybe next van I buy I will test drive a TSi

I picking up a new PHEV this week for a 48 hr test drive, its the 2.5 petrol 13kw battery affair thats in the new transit/transporter and quite keen to see what its like, hoping its the best of both worlds

 

[Sackmycook]

What's the electric range on that prior to any braking regen ?

Interested to hear the feedback on that. A 4pot turbo petrol is definitely not suited to the "Van" application, with all the torque / power only available at the top end of the rev range. Be very interested to see if the electic fills the gap.

What variety are your testing (PV, Kombi/ Day van)?

If an empty PV, i suspect it will be pretty nippy!

I can’t say as I have ever found my TSI anything but relaxing to drive. It is quiet, smooth, effortless and can shift when needed. I don’t worry about short journeys clogging any emissions paraphernalia nor any nasty diesel smells before fully warmed up. My van is a converted camper with DSG (which may hide the higher torque?) and at 63 I would be considered grown up (except by my wife!). As I have also converted my van to run on LPG I also enjoy much reduced running costs!

VW have occasionally released Transporters with petrol engines, and they all seem to have a cult following. Why they dropped them from the range is anyone’s guess, but one reason I read for the T6 TSI was due to the high demand for that petrol engine in their other vehicles.

Utter crap I'm afraid. I've done 38k in mine all over the place and have literally zero issues with the engine. Your so far off the mark.

Im not going to knock the diesel as they have thier uses but for all the reasons others have mentioned I'm a lot happier I have a Tsi than a TDi.

 

[Stay Frosty]

Would it come down to MPG as my 2018 Astra 1.6 petrol turbo nutter at 200 hp gives mid 30s until you drive at anything less than Vicar mode and then it's optimistically 30 MPG max.
The Astra weighs way less than a Transporter too.

 

[Stu007]

Got to admit I wish they still offered the TSI (never owned 1) on the T6.1 but seeing at the transporter is commercial focus first they decided to drop and run as a diesel.. that and their focus moving to ev! And now as we know they can't even be arsed to build it and left for Ford to make

Any well looked after diesel will go forever but due to the nonsense emissions rules brought in adblue, dpf etc they are all designed to eventually clog the engine which then requires more servicing at the expensive of the owner
