Here's a shot of our new T5 Van.. Been on the road for a couple of weeks
Yes, the other vehicle is our '71 T2 Dual Cab.. Still moving freight and doing about 700K's a week on a shitty old 1600 Type 1 motor.. Not Bad for a 35 year old Ute!!
The T5 is an awesome piece of machinery.. We have just ordered a T5 Dual Cab (Cab/Chassis) to put a "two pallet deck" on the back..
All with a 1.9l turbo diesel.. The diesel takes a while to get full fuel economy (about 30,000 k) but we now get 800K per tank (about $85 refill) in general round town use with the Caddy.. We have had the Caddy for a year now and it is fantastic..
Anycase.. Thought you might be interested!~!
Cheers.. Rob

Is it a VW, not real keen on the whole front wheel drive/forward motor. Are these Dubbs walk through still, asking because i havent even looked at one. I like the tail to drive and the forward to steer. Old School Style
Keep the steering and the propulsion seperate . Still a Kombi...
It's all good, until it's bad, i suppose
Hows the old bitch though?.. Can't bloody kill her! I just drove her all day from 0630 am.. Moving stuff around Sydney.. Freakin loves it mate! and i've been waiting for the 1600 to kark it so I can put a tweaked up 1916 (of which I have two, freshly re-built ready to go) But that old 1600 mate.. I really can't believe it.. Go the 1600 Type I.........!

These dubs must be good... walking through the city for the last 5 yrs... the numbers of em grow... Heaps of golfs around... can't go one day without seeing one! Its great!
Be nice if VW did follow some traditions 🙁... ah well..

69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears. 👍
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta!
I like the 1600 due to it's power output.. 1 tonne on the back is no big deal.. Also it is an indestructable motor.. My mechanic tells me NEVER to change into the 1916 (or back to an 1835 which it used to run) they are not suitable for work.. and he's right..
Yes the T5 is a walkthrough but has a cargo barrier in place..

Nice T5 mate. The old commercials are great, and they never cease to amaze people. My older commerials are the weekends now, and have a T4 cab chassis for the week days. The modern commerials are fantastic work horses and no matter how much punishment you deliver them they still drive like new the next day. Caddys are great to, amazing how much crap you can fit into the back of them. Well done mate, nice fleet.
I did over a million K's in T4's.. they are a great vehicle!
I've heard the T5's are so much better again..!!

Doesnt the 1 side cargo door give you the #%^#. I had to switch over to the other evil side (merc vito) where two side cargo doors are standard. Still prefer a T5 but thats life i guess. Happy motoring:thumb

Yes ok they look the biz, not livin in the past but some how it just blends in with almost all other commercial vans out there. Yes and they look hot done up to the max, but i cant get past the front wheel drive thingi accept modernisation. When are we goiing to see this???
