2006 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T5SHUTTLE104 BHP TDI LWB SILVER9 SEATER

HI WELCOME TO MY AUCTION FOR MY VW TRANSPORTER T5 SHUTTLE 9 SEATER LONG WHEEL BASE IN SILVER. FITTED WITH THE 1.9 TDI ENGINE 104 BHP. COMES FITTED WITH MADE TO MEASURE LEATHER SEAT COVERS THROUGHOUT. HAS GOT A FITTED HEAD UNIT WHICH INCLUDES SAT NAV AND REVERSE CAMERA ALONGSIDE RADIO/CD PLAYER. IT HAS A VERY STRONG ENGINE, DONT LET THE MILEAGE PUT YOU OFF, IF YOU KNOW THESE MPV'S ITS MORE THAN CAPABLE OF DOING DOUBLE ITS MILEAGE QUITE COMFORTABLY PROVIDING LOOKED AFTER WHICH THIS ONE HAS BEEN. THE MAJORITY OF ITS LIFE IT HAS BEEN WORKING AS A PRIVATE HIRE VEHICLE, SO DID NOT GO WANTING FOR ANY WORK TO BE DONE., WHAT IT NEEDED IT GOT.
IT WAS TAKEN FOR MOT IN MAY AND PASSED WITH FLYING COLOURS WITH NO ADVISORYS. RECENT WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE INCLUDES A NEW TURBO (WHICH COMES WITH A 12 MONTH WARRANTY}, OIL AND OIL FILTERS , PREVIOUS INVOICES SHOW TIMING BELT KIT AND WATER PUMP ALONG WITH SERVICE DONE AT 215,000 MILES.
MECHANICALLY THERE ARE NO ISSUES , IT HAS A STRONG ENGINE , GEARBOX AND CLUTCH. IT DOES TAKE FIVE MINS BEFORE YOU CAN REV OVER 2,500 RPM FROM COLD , HOWEVER IF YOU ENGAGE THE CLUTCH IT WILL REV AS NORMAL. ONCE THAT INITIAL FIVE MINS OF WARMING UP IS OVER IT REVS AND DRIVES AS IT SHOULD. I WAS LATER TOLD A MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A VOLKSWAGONS SAFETY PROCEDURE FOR THEIR ENGINES SO YOU DONT OVER REV THEM WHILE THEY ARE STILL COLD. THE BRAKES FEEL REALLY RESPONSIVE, JUST HOW THEY SHOULD BE.
THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT NEED MENTIONING WHICH ARE THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS HAVE GOT A MIND OF THEIR OWN , THEY MAY WORK FOR DAYS ON END AND THEN NOT WORK FOR DAYS ON END. THE OTHER BEING THE BUS IS A LITTLE ROUGH ROUND THE EDGES MAINLY BEING WHERE IT HAS HAD THE PRIVATE HIRE FIRMS STICKERS ON IT, WHERE THEY HAVED BEEN REMOVED THEY HAVE ALSO REMOVED SOME OF THE PAINTWORK . THESE HAVE BEEN TRIED TO PUT RIGHT BUT NOT A VERY GOOD JOB. THE SIDE LOADING DOOR WINDOW WILL NEED A NEW HANDLE KIT , COMMON PROBLEM ONLY 14.95 ON EBAY A DIY JOB.WHEN ON FULL LCOK ONE OF THE DRIVESHAFTS CLICK. MAY NEED LOOKING AT SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
COMES WITH MOT TILL MAY 2016 AND IS CURRENTLY TAXED, HOWEVER AS THE NEW LAWS STATE NEW BUYER WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE ROAD TAX.
THIS VEHICLE IS A CLEAN BUT WELL USED BUS. IF YOU SEEK A PRISTINE EXAMPLE THEN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. THIS IS NOT TO TRY AND PUT YOU OFF BUT MERLY TRYING TO BE HONEST. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND ALL INTRESTED PARTYS TO COME COME, VIEW AND TEST DRIVE BEFORE BIDDING AS FINAL BIDS ARE FINAL.
NO RESERVE AUCTION
ANY QUESTIONS , PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK
HAPPY BIDDING
