T4 or T5

Hello all,

I'm looking to buy a used T4 or a T5 van and having read some of the topics on this site am not sure what to do, I would appreciate any advice on the reliability of these vehicles and what your opinions are, I don't want this for a buisness just private use, I really had decided on a VW Transporter due to the size being just about right and the looks of the vehicle but am now having second thoughts.

Thank you

I felt the same but have gone for the 102 with plenty of warranty left as the T5 looks more pleasing to the eye than the T4 in my opinion.It depends on budget I went for as new as possible and comprimised on gizmo's as I will only do about 5k a year and its not my daily drive."I have gone from T3 to T5 and missed out on the middle man"

 

 I have just changed from a 9 year old T4 camper to a T5. Although the power outputs are about the same the 5 cylinder of the T4 was a bit smoother but overall the T5 is quieter. The T4 has a softer ride but I think the T5 handles better.

  I had no mechanical problems at all with the T4. Hopefully the T5 will give as good service. 

T5 1.9TDI it is, have looked at auto trader link and have registered with VW vans from the links provided by Studioman, have got further in the last hour than in the last month and only found this forum by chance.

Thanks for your replys.

.....or NOTTINGHAM VAN CENTRE, they were simply dreadful. Hopefully most people turn around when they see the premises (no showroom,portacabins for an office, an almost unbelievable waiting area, and a handful of grease monkey's that would be safer stacking shelves....
