Don't complain - suggest what's better
some rear drives do, but 4x4 don’t pull 3500kg. I just checked on their website.

Twist.
They seem to last well. I’ve had to replace one that got distorted inside with someone trying to break in. The others are seven years old.

Friend of mine has vw golf on lease.
Lease company phoned him end of last week asked if could have it back. Refunding him his deposit and all payments from start of lease (approx 18 months I'm guessing) as they can make more money on selling it now

I brought and bought home my (new) 2012 model van yesterday it is a Volkswagen Caddy Panel Van 2.0 EcoFuel, it runs on biogas
and with current fuel prices it will save me about £ 750 in fuel expenses by my annual mileage

So was it propane (lpg), methane, prop./meth. mix (like they use a lot in Eu) or CNG / CNG/diesel mix Frank ??? can't really decide from your pic. ... can see a gas solenoid valve, but not much else ... assume by the "biofuel" it's a methane concoction of some sort ? .... think i can see a dizzy and plug leads????
what's the distribution network like for fuel in Norway? looks a very clean vehicle ... couldn't open the ad. link in the PM you sent the other night

Yes it is methane cng biofuel 40L and petrol 15L
Range on the biogas is about 600 km and about 200km on petrol, it switches automatic from gas to petrol when the gas is empty
looks a very clean vehicle
when my friends and other people have sin the car they Believe It is brand new, and it is quite cool sense It is a 2012 model
what's the distribution network like for fuel in Norway
I have four places to fill biogas from in the area in the West Coast of Norway It's only in Stavanger and Bergen North of Oslo and the rest of the country there is None
couldn't open the ad. link in the PM you sent the other night
the seller deleted the ad

was me ... that wasn't a new car holding bay ...... that was part of $7 billions-worth that VW had to buy back 'cos of their emissions fiddles -- in one of 35 sites in the states ... and that IS JUST the states !!!!!
no question ... as said the targets were unachievable with the available tech ..... or none of them would have resorted to the risk of being caught
Volkswagen to pay out £193m in 'dieselgate' settlement
More than 90,000 people will get payouts over the installation of emissions cheating devices.
www.bbc.co.uk
tip of the iceberg £193mil to 90,000 UK owners of a potential 1.2mil
" The group has already paid out more than €30bn (£26bn) worldwide.
This includes fines, compensation, civil settlements and buyback schemes.
The use of "defeat devices" meant that Volkswagen's cars were certified as conforming to EU pollution standards when, in reality, they were emitting up to 40 times the legally permitted amount of nitrogen dioxide.
Nitrogen dioxide is a pollutant, which has been linked to respiratory diseases and premature death.
Volkswagen admitted that 11 million vehicles worldwide, including almost 1.2 million in the UK, were affected. "

Yeah you could say that about every make. ...I meant that apparantly there has been some obvious penny pinching going on in response to what happened ..unsurprisingly.
