T5 Auto 128kw problems?
Collapse

I have a new 2007 Multivan 128kw 6 speed auto that I have had for a couple of months. I have been a bit disappointed with the fuel consumption which has been around 11.1l/100km. In the same type of driving I was getting less than 8l/100km in my T4 diesel 5 speed manual van.
One of the reasons it uses more fuel, especially around town, is because of the particulate filter I think, but the climate control and all the electronic gizmos don't help either.
The power and the transmission is fantastic but you pay for it at the bowser.Bob

Thanks Ben.
I only found the site recently but I had a 1978 combi for many years and then a 2003 T4 that I traded on a new Multivan a month or two ago, so I am no stranger to VW vans.
The Multivan is certainly the best of my many cars by far but also the most expensive by far! I love driving it in any type of driving from country trips to city commuting but my wife is the main driver because my daily transport is 2006 BMW K1200GT motor bike.Bob

I assume you are not talking about a Multivan with that consumption as they only come in manual with 4 motion. What model is it?

My 6 speed manual 4-Motion TDI gets around 10.5 l/100 Km's around town. This appears to go down significantly on highway driving. Recently did Adelaide/Alice Springs return, and got around 8.5 l/100 Kms.
