Hello

Could i have members views and thoughts regarding 90 or 110bhp.

Difficult question to answer, as it depends on your driving style and expectations.
We have a 2023 SWB 110bhp t6.1 camper and it drives well; doesn’t feel underpowered, cruises on the motorway without problem, overtakes fine and returns mid 40’s mpg. More torque than our petrol car, which helps with pulling away.
Currently on standard factory suspension and factory 16” alloys. Will be changing that at some point, but no rush.
You do find you work up through the gears quite quickly.
However, our driving style is we aren’t in any rush; we get there when we get there; it’s a camper not a performance vehicle.
Love driving it and prefer it to the car.
Best thing to do is do a few test drives to see for yourself.

Hi & welcome to the forum.

Personally, I'd discount the 90bhp option for a camper due to the additional weight involved, but we're all different and there's no "wrong decision" here. If you go for the 110bhp, my advice would be to go for a 6-speed rather than a 5-speed manual - you'll appreciate the more refined cruising experience that the taller gearing will provide..

Hi all readers,
I justed signed up as new member. I bought my T6 (from 2016) in 2022 and hope to learn a lot here.
In the past (the 90's) I had a T4 and liked it a lot. But my T6 has a lot more options.
Especially I like the ACC and the 4motion..
When I bought the van, it was fitted with low-profile tires and and a lowered suspension.
Both are useless when you plan to go off-road sometimes. Now I have the standard suspension with 215/70R16.
Sofar no probs in the (mild) dirt.
At the moment I am busy to convert it into a camper. Hoping that the dutch RDW are not to strict with me.
cross my fingers, check is on march 23rd.
all the best from the Netherlands.

Yes, the RDW approved my camper.
Now the rest (roof, 2nd bed, fridge, electracal stuff,...etc....)
greetings
Jan

So, not completely new to the forum, but thought I ought to put a pic up now my Starlight Blue Kombi has arrived.

As it's a reasonably standard van I though I'd include a bit of scenery too..

Wow what a difference, koni shocks all round. New lower springs on front to level up to original rear spring and H + R ARB's.
Thanks.

Hello All, mine in a 2019 Kombi. Had the van a couple of years now and love it. Have only done a headlight upgrade but looking at insulating and lining and putting in some rear speakers.

Hi all,

Back in a VW after a few years in a Merc…. Had a few golf’s over the years but now have T6 high line. Modding started today getting shot of the awful H7s.

I also have VCDS so if anyone needs scans or mods get in touch, maybe mods can add me to any list of vcds users

 

[Cuffy]

Welcome.
You'll be inundated with offers for your H7's.
There's poor souls out there with the even worse H4's
