Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • ACT Newbie looking for advice to buy a T5 Highline Automatic

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to purchase a T5 multivan but know there have been significant Transmission issues discussed in many places on the internet. I'm looking for guidance on whether this is across all models/transmissions or if there are ways to determine whether the transmission is in good condition or not.

    I'm not afraid of having to get a transmission rebuilt and the money it costs if I can factor that into the purchase price.

    I want to stick with the T5 highline if possible because of the good looks, room in the body and the high quality interiors. I expect to do do quite a few Kms and would prefer an auto if possible. Business use during the week and possibly sleep inside on weekends away (aware of the need for a foam mattress for comfort)

    Any feedback specifically about reliability factors greatly appreciated.
Working...
