Hi , In 1999 I joined this forum to find out if I was making the right choice and I did.I ordered a LWB tdi from Germany as there were none in Melbourne It stopped of at Sydney for camper conversion at Trakka. I picked it up at the Melbourne VW Dealer Dec 23 1999. after 5 years and not many K's the Auto decide to play up and was reconditioned Now it's coming up to 280 k's. My faithful Mechanic advised me that the Auto is obsolete and they may not service it !!! then said get a Crafter. Yes I would like all the latest safety but apart from replacing a back door that I destroyed backing into a trailer and hitting 4 kangaroos it has only been in the last year that it has left us stuck when the glow plug light did not come on. it was fixed but they could not find out what caused it! decisions, decisions ? I am tempted to go with a Toureg and a caravan. but then the Australian VW importers say they are bringing in the Californian 6.1 camper, more to consider..af course we are in lockdown and our state borders are closed....So we all wait.: cheers
