Haha no that's the old mans, to be fair neither of them have been on itOriginally Posted by Al115
Does that breakdown truck follow it around everywhere, just in case?the only issue the T6 has given me is a coil pack.
Biggest problem with the T6 is 21mpg and a mere 290 miles to £93 fill up.

Thanked 281 Times in 249 PostsI had a 98 S80 T6 SE with the standard fit 4 speed gaytronic box back in 2004 in after 2 months I returned it and got a manual V70 T5. Yes there comfy and quick in a straight line and are loaded with gadgets. They have 18 computers 3 control the gaytronic box mine would hit 105 in 2nd and cruise at 100 at around 3000 rpm but it wouldnt go into 3rd when pressing on and I got fed up with the Transmission service urgent message and limp mode.
I had into Volvo then an Auto specialist that spent a week stripping down the box to find no mechanical issues the only thing he could say was computer must be conflicting each other anyway he should have charged me £1000 for his work and courtesy car he didnt charge as it had him baffled and he could not gaurantee it the dealer took it back with a full refund!2004 V50 T5 SE

Thanked 163 Times in 126 PostsI've had 2 T6's.
No problem with them at all.
One of the good things about them i found is the look on boy racers faces as you lose them at the lights.undefined
