Hi guys, just got a van (t5 2006 2.5 TDI 6 speed) I am about to pick up on Tuesday. My son and I are flying into Melbourne and driving it home.

Looking forward to owning it as we are going to camp surf etc before he starts thinking his old man is "lame".

Its from a dealer but not a gen VW dealership. I am a bit scared after reading the sensitive nature of the 2.5 engine. They say it has been serviced by VW is whole 158000klm but if anyone has used the wrong oil in that time is it dire?

I was hoping to find a mobile mechanic who knows these vans to pass their expert eye over it before I pass on my $$.

Thanks for any advice and looking forward to seeing you guys on the road.

Old mate.
