VW T5.1 2014

Thought id post my van I occasionally use for track days on here, it has removable seats etc so you can get the bike in, sleep in it, night heater etc, nice van and a proper van to drive.

VW Transporter 6 Seater, T5.1, T30 6 speed, originally a 140 (now 192bhp) in deep black pearl, fully loaded with around 53k miles with only 1 previous owner. It has FSH, last year it had the timing belt and water pump replaced, It has just been serviced in April 2019, MOT’d till 2020.

Engine wise – Forge Intercooler, Forge Pipes, Forge washer bottle cap. DPF delete and egr switched off. This leads down to the Milltek stainless steel exhaust system with black tips. It is helped along by a K&N panel filter which you only need to clean each service, and this has been serviced more than the recommended amount of times using ONLY genuine VW parts.

The ride is helped along as it has Bilstein B14’s which are adjustable on top of Banded steels that were carried out by Simon Colese, an expert in his field, rear tyres have done less than 1k miles, rear tyres weren’t wearing well so tracking was checked and adjusted.

Inside it is lined and carpeted, it has an Eberspecher heater fitted by Uberbus, it has a fold down TV in the rear which is controlled by the Pioneer AVIC F70DAB head unit which has apple play & the android version which allows you to watch a film in the back using the two wireless headsets whilst listening to perfect DAB radio up front on the uprated door speakers, which has fantastic reception as it has a proper DAB arial mounted to the roof, all installed by Absolute Audio.

The passengers seat is on a Kiravans swivel base so you can spin these around to face the rear. The rear seats are a removable triple.

This started out as a panel van but has two sliding windows (non leaking) on each side, plus glass on the rear panels to give it that smooth lines look. The rear doors also had tinted glass fitted. You are protected inside from onlookers by Van X curtains all round. It has a Kiravans sliding door panel which was hydro dipped to match the gear knob and gear knob surround. 

It has a tow bar with electrics professionally coded into the ecu too.
It has Van X LED lights to the rear, bright white LED DRL lights up front.

It has Cruise control as standard, needle sweep and all those little things we like (big speed numbers on dash too).

This has never had supermarket fuel put into it, it has only had Esso, Shell or BP, nothing else, ever.

Ive had a few vans, Vivaros, Vito’s, Hiace’s and other T5.1’s, this one is in another league as far as how it drives, fuel consumption is another plus where my last T5.1 only got 5-600 miles to a tank this thing gets close to 800
