Multivan TDI versus V6 petrol

[Silver Caravelle]

I can attest to the twin turbo V6TDI engine having driven a Pug 407 V6 TDI, which is brilliant. The Frogs know their diesel engines. This engine that Peugeot developed is excellent and obviously features in a number of vehicles now...Rangie, Disco Jag, Citroen C6, Tourag.

Scott, are you saying that the V6 TDI in the Touareg is the very same engine that is made by Peugeot?

Sorry Jets- delete Touareg from the list. I got carried away.

Shogun2 (Rod),

Do the Adelaide VW dealers usually stock any Multivans?

I visit Adelaide periodically so might test drive 1 (or 2) next time I'm down.

Hi Ryan,

Sorry for the late reply - I'm in NZ at the moment, with little access to email and web (and also too busy).
I suggest you call Sam Gryst at Solitaire and ask the question. Solitaire are the only dealer in SA.

if checking engine performance,I'm sure the Transporter's would be much the same, and would suffice ?

Steve, yes I guess as an indicator of performance, test driving a Transporter might be OK though I believe NVH levels are significantly improved in Multivan?

Hi Ryan,

. Solitaire are the only dealer in SA.

Not quite right, there are now VW dealers in Tanunda & Murray Bridge. I havn't been to either so don't know if they have what you are looking for.

Solitaire have a fair few vans on show.

There's also a dealer at Hawthorne

Hmmm,

Sorry - didn't realise there are other dealers.
The dealer at Hawthorn - just down the road from me - is Solitaire as well. Maybe the others in the country areas ae also Solitaire outlets, although it doesn't mention country sites on the Solitaire web site.
Would be VERY good to have some competition.

Lynas Valley VW in Tanunda and Duttons at Murray Bridge are separate from the Solitaire group.
