Vans A2Z.com Verdict The Transporter just keeps on getting better. The new engine line-up is excellent, but we just wish the styling could be a tad more courageous. Having said that it has an unmistakable classic appearance and there’s no doubting its hard work credentials. Volkswagen’s Transporter received a revamp at the beginning of 2010, although you’d be hard put to spot the difference between the old model and the new one. That’s because the external changes are low-key. The big alterations are under the metal. It’s bye-bye to the old 1.9- and 2.5-litre diesels and hello to a new, Euro 5, common rail four-cylinder 2.0-litre TDI diesel generating 84hp, 102hp, 140hp or 180hp. Maximum torque output is 220Nm, 250Nm, 340Nm and 400Nm respectively. The two least-powerful diesel burners are married to a five-speed manual gearbox. Their stable-mates are fitted with a six-speeder but can also be ordered with an optional and to-die-for seven-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG). A semi-automatic twin-clutch transmission, it features an overdrive top gear for use on high-speed long-distance runs. Grossing at from 2.6 to 3.2 tonnes, the latest version of the legendary Transporter is marketed with two different wheelbases and three different roof heights. Cargo space runs from 5.8m3 to 9.3m3 while payload capacity extends from 729kg to 1,333kg. ABS is standard as is Electronic Stability Programme (it should of course be fitted to all makes of panel vans) complete with Hill Holder to make it easier for drivers to move away on inclines. Service intervals are set at 25,000 miles on most models, with the 180bhp version reduced to 18,000 miles. A three-year/100,000-mile mechanical warranty is provided. The Transporter is also produced as a chassis cab, a chassis double cab and a window van and in Kombi and Shuttle people-carrier guise. There is also the 4x4 4MOTION variant.
