Discovered two things yesterday...

[czmate1999]

On my drive to Czech, through Germany, discovered two things:

1. Adaptive cruise control only goes up to 100mph...
2. The van drives very well at 120mph...

Additionally, got 475 miles out of the 80 litre tank driving at silly speeds - mostly between 80 and 95. Have to say the Van was fairly loaded up as well...

I'm guessing today's job is cleaning bugs and flies off your windscreen!!!

 

[czmate1999]

Yup, need to find a good car wash!!

 

[jimc91]

120mph, you sure?

 

[czmate1999]

120mph, you sure?

Yup, not for too long but confirmed it on Waze as well. Was on the autobahn on a long straight stretch. There was no roar or vibration either which was good.

I figure if I do it with the pop top down next time I could go faster

 

[czmate1999]

Oh and typically ‘ad blue’ popped up. Knew I should have topped up before I left home...

 

[jimc91]

autobahn, that's cheating, I thought you were on the Sidcup bypass

 

[czmate1999]

Ha.

 

[Lord Mfwic]

120mph, you sure?

I believe this speed can also be achieved on M6 toll.

 

[Blitz]

Hopefully testing mine out next year. Did 140mph in the car the other year, but a sedate 120mph in the van would be ideal. Or cruise control at 100 may be ideal in a convoy situation
Ps not on M6

 

[nigeltreves]

Also managed to briefly hit 120mph whilst abroad last year just to see if it would. Not a problem.

 

[Lord Mfwic]

Did hit 120 on the autobahn last year when we toured Europe in the van.
I must say, I was very impressed with how quiet the van was inside at such speed.
I could clearly hear my wife screaming at me to slow down.

I'm sure that you can spec 130mph ACC from the factory.

 

[Bargy62]

I've got a TSI that thing will do 110mph no problem with a lot of pedal still to go
But then reality kicks in and I think s**t what if I have a blow out right now then its stright back to 65/70

Unless your in your T6 and then you’re already in heaven!!

 

[VanDamMan]

Tell ya what is good....dashcam’s aren’t reliable speed camera’s ......Hope you aren’t concerned about fuel economy

120mph! Bet that played havoc with the cutlery drawer.

Not too many rattles actually. But have disposable bamboo cutlery

TBH 140mph was fun for the 10mins we did it but my arsed was clenched
Quite happy doing the old fashioned Tonne
Which is now not an option on UK roads. Ah those were the days
