T32 - your reasons why?

[BIgben]

But then you see this?

VW Transporter Kombi T6 BIK rates - Company car tax 2017 - Next Green Car

It has a P11D value of £29K +

Yep, who knows what to believe.
A lot of conflicting information. The accountant and HMRC were agreed that my kombi had a BIK value of the van rate.
A little unsettling all the same.

The T32 is defo the best, i.e. f-ing massive front brakes that work under weight full stop regards T30. I had to put up with 4 Motion down grade from T32 to T30 because of weight of transmission on T5.2. Now on the T6 i have the T32 4 Motion Them brakes are bloody great!

 

[DaveBos]

T30 is cheaper and my little brakes work fine for me.

I am private buyer for non commercial use so had to pay VAT. I was asked by VW finance what I intended using it for lol! I just said I wanted a Kombi and work in HR lol. £230 road tax is a killer!

Same road tax as my 1996 2.0 16v Vectra

150ps and 204ps same brakes on T32 not on the 102 ( euro 6 model) ?

Great are T30 brakes as many who use these vans as cars, T32 big brakes are a massive improvement to all if used as a van for carrying weight.

What about the Euro 5 variants?

 

[StudleyGlass]

I see the euro6 vans have the big brakes on the 150 and the 204 but the euro 5 only the 180 have the big brakes, i think thats right anyway, i dont no why ?

Just done a quick bit of google searching and you are spot on.

 

[Pauly]

Sounds right my T32 140 has smaller ones

 

[Buggirl]

Mine too

 

[TEESIXY]

I dont think so- i think that my T32 150 eu6 has the smaller brakes. Certainly they are not as big as others i saw at the dealers. The wheel rim only just clears the really big ones, mine are not like that. Mines a SWB. Maybe its all of the LWB's that get them ?

 

[StudleyGlass]

Well mine has the same brakes as on the 204ps as i have checked, Mine has the standard 17" that come on a T32 and there is barely any room between the disc and rim. My loner T6 140 i had was the smaller brakes. The rep did point it out to me when i collected.

Maybe weight related?
We've got big brakes (Calis are all SWB) but Calis are heavy beasts.

 

[ZipcodeUK]

i have the t32 150 Euro 6 SWB and it has the 'big' brakes. Mine is a highline.

 

[TEESIXY]

Mines a Highline- this is a front caliper.

 

[StudleyGlass]

Thats far to clean ! You must have just done that for the photo
These are mine ? Excuse the dirt

 

[TEESIXY]

At least my pads will be cheaper.

Non the wiser then, as Polzeylad said, may be weight related.

Bigger is not always better as i keep telling the wife
