    I was watching that video earlier and it made me really want one! Very nice car mate! What would it be worth roughly? Obviously with rarity its hard too say. I would love to pick one up one day.

    I’m well aware of that. I’m saying the T6 would have been the perfect time to make adjustments so it could take the 3.0L V6.

    I'm not sure what mine is worth, but if you’re not fussed on having 4Motion, there were more standard V6s sold so just create a search on Carsales for that spec you’d pick one up for less the 20K. The V6 4Motion is going to be hard to find, and the ‘executive’ seating option nigh impossible.

    I understand the sporty nature of a V6 petrol van but I reckon with the potential hp possible from a twin turbo diesel and more torque and better fuel economy I’d choose the 4 cylinder diesel, an unrestricted 300hp V6 diesel van would be awesome !

    Did the 3.2L come without 4 motion? I thought all the FWD ones were 2.8L. I would prefer the 3.2 purely for the mix of power and sound and the option for a manual. I believe the 2.8s didnt come as a manual.

    I have never seen a T5 automatic 4 motion in Australia, and coincidentally I believe South African models were all automatic, happy to be corrected. Somebody om here will know if 2.8 and 3.2 is the same engine or not.

    The 2.8 V6 was on the T4. The 3.2 V6 was on the T5.
    I wonder if the R36 V6 in the Passat has been customized in the T5. I have seen crazy stuff out of the UK and Europe.

    T5 Multivans came with the 3.2V6 as an engine option, and the 4Motion was a drive option. All T5 4Motions were manual, and DSG wasn’t an option till later when the V6 was replaced by a 4cl diesel, even though it was in the R32.
