Yes mate T6.1 DSG.
I bought the exact same van in 2007 .. raveena blue kiombi mine was the first time the dsg auto was put in them and she was the full red tdi .. 174 bhp .. my wife ended up using it over my range rover as she loved the handiness of the bus, mine had captains seats so she could get to our 3 toddlers in the back at the time 😍 my kids never mention some of the nice cars we had but the blue bus has legendary status in our house 😍

This one has the captains seats in the front and the 2-1 split in the back which I wanted.
It also has sat nav and rear camera as factory fitted extras.

Has it got LED headlights? That’s the only thing I’d fault mine on, I haven’t got them and the lights are bloody awful.
I’ve had mine for over 8 years, I bought it new. I love the van but I’d like a 6.1 at some point.

Not sure mate but I bet you can buy them aftermarket.
On my T5 kombi I fitted caravelle headlights.
 
I put a dongle into my new transit to stop the stop start feature ... their is no button anymore on the dash so it takes 5 presses of the touch screen every time you start the van .. it was a pain in the ass fitting the interrupter to the pcm but it worked... 300 euro by the time I paid duty from the States.. thought it be valid seems we are waxing lyrical about vw t5/6s

I have to press a button every time I start the van to turn off SS. Unless you have the heater on and it’s directed to the windscreen or something like that. Load of nonsense.
 
Yes mate. Paid deposit today and do the swap next Saturday.
As part of the deal I said I wanted the oil changing in the dsg which is quite a big job hence the timescale.
Has the cam belt been changed? Mine is every 4 years, I don’t know whether the 6.1 is the same
A friend of mine bought a 2017 Sportline a couple of years ago and he was told the cam belt is ok for 140,000 miles now and not time related, this came from a VW main dealer. It’s hard to know what is correct.

No I never asked as I thought it was a cam chain.
I’ll check up.
It’s done 43k atm.
 
Took some pictures today out on the lake.
This is my cars navi as we drove out onto the ice-

Looking down at the ice, a few steps outside the ice house door. I think these would look cool as a wallpaper.
All the lines are cracks going down through the ice. It is 27" thick so we are fine-

Taken from outside, reflection shows the palm tree and the sunset. Inside is our TV, we're watching the Superbowl.

Unfortunately fishing has been terrible. Caught a few small perch. Otherwise they just won't bite. It did warm up today so it was nice to get outside for awhile.

Awsome @Faith it's nearly 5AM in the UK and will be crashing soon, have a great time to you all and hope you get a better catch of fish!! Over here we love brown trout, really nice in tinfoil and garlic butter on a barbecue!!😋
