Is this the twin turbo 2.0 diesel engine that is rated at 180ps ? Does it do it when accelerating in a straight line (or anywhere else) ? Can you describe the circumstances when it does this in a bit more detail please ? Could it be the normal sound of diesel injectors by any chance ? The PD injectors on my 174 are quite noisy under load, but it doesn't sound much like pinking to me. I thought the 180 was CR (common rail) which are supposed to be much quieter than the PD injectors. |

| Yes, I believe it is the Twin Turbo 2.0 diesel and I notice the Pingking on accelerating from 0-20 mph |

So few of these on the road apart from Utility it will be hard to duplicate and see if someone else has the same problem Perphaps it is normal and one turbo comes in at a lower rev range Maybe its not and there is a fault Do they use variable vanes on the turbos? Maybe its the noise of a vane opening ------------- Vansales.com http://www.vansales.com http://www.swissvantek.com T5 Accessories http://www.brokerweb.com Trade/ CCL only finance website 01656 674620 |

| I am thinking about taking it back to my VW Dealer to let them have a listen and also it seems that when you accelerate from a junction it seems to think about it and then go for it, which I'm not sure if this is collect |

My Caravelle 180 ps dsg is booked into supplying dealer on Thursday for a DSG ecu update. Mine to is quite unresponsive whilst pulling away and all of a sudden a lunge forward, reversing can be a pain as well without the passengers thinking you cant drive !! Tell you more when I drive home. Kev ------------- T5.1 T32 LWB Kombi 140 ps. Sold T5.1 Caravelle Executive 2.0BiTDI 180PS DSG Sold T5.1 Kombi LWB 180 BiTDI DSG T6 California Beach 150 DSG |

Hi Kev, Another thing what MPG RU getting out of your Caravelle because I was told that I would be getting about 42 miles to the gallon, but I'm not getting it and I was wondering if it is because my Caravelle is 180 BHP DSG 7 speed gearbox. |

Approx 425 miles per tankfull, all short journeys. Computer says approx 27mpg from new My 140 ps manual Kombi says 32mpg from new. In the Caravelle I drove to the Vendee in May @ max of 60 mph using cruise and managed 540 miles on a tank. I drove home with cruise set to 80mph and managed 440 to a full tank. Both journeys had 6 people inside and a roof box on top.

| Well, I'm getting 32 mpg and that this continuous motorway work sitting at speeds of 80 - 90 mph. But I'm now pleased with this because my previous Caravelle was a V6 and I was only getting 21 mpg |

[QUOTE=wheelspj] Hi Kev, Yes, please keep me informed because I would be interested if this does make a difference. What dealer ship RU going to? The 30 mile drive home was a lot more fun than the drive up this morning. The delay /lunge when pulling away has disappeared  .I have said since getting the Velle I thought my manual 140 ps was more fun to drive but now !!!!! ------------- T5.1 T32 LWB Kombi 140 ps.

Hi Kev, well, just thought I would let you know I have contacted my VW agent and having a update on the ECU on Wednesday. But they tell me that my engine chassis say's that there is recall on the vehicle, so basically thank you for letting me know about this. Bye for now wheelspj |

Hi Kev, Well, just thought I would let you know I've had my Caravelle update done today, but it wasn't is easy as I thought because for some reason it made my air conditioning keep blowing hot-air out and in temperatures like today wasn't pleasant. So I thought I would say to you check your air-conditioning and if this does the same thing tell the VW agent to disconnect the battery for four seconds. |

I get the pinging noise on my 140PS T28. Interested to hear about the ECU update. Did you get a lumpy tick over when cold? My has done this since it was new but the Stealer tinkers did not bother there ass to look at it when it was in for a service! Kev Gas must pay alot better on the mainland than here in the Northern Ireland if you can aford two vw!

Hi Kev, Have you been using your Caravelle over the weekend because since I have had the uadate done my mpg has gone down from 32 mpg to 29 mpg and I was wondering if your vehicle has done this. |
