Christine Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 I bought my VW t4 800 spesh , new , in Dec 2000 £9995 plus vat . Always fully loaded Its done 147 k ,just local stuff no motorways , and now the clutch is just slipping in 5th on a hill , so its worn out .. is this fair enough mileage, or should i complain to vw ? I'd be a bit embarassed to go there actually .. It's not had any servicing for 8 years..oil's a little bit thick and black .. It's never broken down , and it starts instantly first kick still . I was a bit pissed off a couple of years ago, it failed mot on a driveshaft gaitor , 4 bloody quid ! And the exhaust fell off at 10 years. .
garbaldy Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 No you must be dreaming as vw are shite at least that's what I keep reading here anyway. Christine, Skizzer and alf892 3
barefoot Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Take advantage, treat it like an auto and use fifth gear exclusively from now until the clutch grenades itself in a shower of sparks. Christine and xtriple 2
Christine Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 Fookin uncomfortable , the moment i drove out the dealership , i knew i'd have a bad back . So i bought 2 multi adjustable Recaro's ( I was wealthy in 2000 ) I only fitted the drivers side , the other i left in the shed with the drivers VW seat , to fit later, but never did . ... Last year , the bolster looked a bit shit on the Recaro , so since my back has been fairly ok , i thought i'd refit the original vw unused drivers seat , which i did . And left the tatty recaro up the side of the house . One day of driving , and i'm screwed up , and thought , bollox to what it looks like , I'll put the recaro back in ... got home and some pikey's nicked it ! So i have a tatty t4 van and backache , but the seats are mint ! Mr. Clutch- £350
CHRIS1980 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 147000 mile on a clutch? I be fucking livid,take them to the cleaners. No wonder vw have such a shit reputation these days.
Joey spud Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 The seat in my T5 has been absolutely awful from day one,its base is like sitting on a paving slab and the back rest can best be described as resting against a bag of gone off cement. Christine 1
twosmoke300 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 You guys aren't saying that the t4/5 isn't perfect are you ? My world is shattered
