Morning All! New T6.1 on my drive and ready to used and improved this forum has been super useful so far, so thanks everyone.
New to the group. New to the scene. Just bought T60RYX from m.dennis205. My first ever van.
Some places are doing delivery. Might be worth checking. Who is doing the conversion?Hi I'm Paul we are (thats the wife) getting our T6 around the end of November should be ready the 24th, but don't think we will be able to collect it until the lock down has finished. Not sure its essential travel (I think it is) so may have to put it off until early dec unless its ready before.
So its a T6 2019 Trendline got a few extra on it and a camper van.
Really looking forward to getting it and making use of it over the next few years. It will also be the wife's daily driver not that she goes out every day.
Cheers Paul

But like you got lots of plans of things to do.

Hi - just a quick message to re-assure you about mpg. My first tank I got 28mpg and though wtf have I done . Now averaging 44 - partly slightly tweaking my driving (it is a van and not a sports car) but also I reckon when you first pick them up with sub 10,000 miles on as we both have they have a tendency to be doing a re-gen if they’ve been standing a while and seem to improve by being used. Nice colour btwAfternoon all, second post after sticking some pics up on the team deep black page.
Had been looking at chopping in my A6 avant as it was just too small for family trips and settled on a T6. Spent a bit of time looking at what i wanted (against what i needed) and had to wait to get the right deal.
So at the start of October i picked up my 68 plate, 204dsg Kombi with 9.5k on the clock. A good few options had been selected by the previous owner, heated seats, power fold mirrors, twin sliders, led headlights, power latching doors and tailgate, reverse camera etc. Even came with a spare set of seats (not really, but it is an 8 seater with the rear bench now living in my garage as i only needed 5 seats (also had to buy a single seat for the left as the seat didnt fold or have isofix).
Absolutely loving it so far, apart from the mpg - was used to 45+mpg with the A6, now getting about 32mpg .
I have to say though - you guys had got a lot to answer for - already spent a fortune putting silent coat, dodo thermo liner and thermo fleece everywhere, double sealing the front doors (sounds fantastic now with the sound deadening and is very quiet), stronger struts as the tailgate woulnt stay open with all the extra material added, putting in usb ports to the lower b-pillars for the kids, getting a spare set of wheels so that i can run summer and winter tyres.
Anyhoo, no doubt i'll be asking you all some daft questions about speakers and other upgrades (no plans to turn it into a camper - this is strictly family transport), and i think i'll now go ask my first daft question on the lighting page
