mk 6 transit 90ps

[seph234]

hello new to this forum i have just bought a transit on a 52 plate it is the 90ps engine and it does about 80-85 on the flat but if you hit a hill it drops to about 70 but also it seems really slow on pick up is there anything i can check that maybe faulty its not the things like the filters coz ive just serviced it, or should i have bought the six speed 135ps transit any replies thanks. joe

get one of those power chip thingys my friend had t350 lwb 125ps he had it chipped to 150ps (from new) it eats sprinters for breakfast very good on fuel as well

yeah i will look into these but at the moment i want to see if there are any things that may need looking at first or are these 90ps ones just slow

[100ps_drw_hicube]

i think generally the 90ps new shape is slow when my 100ps old shape is running right it flies past them on the m-way it will sit @ 100mph flat out goes down to 95 if you hit a big hill but thats when its fun as you pass loads of sprinters not bad for a hi cube have driven one of new fwd transit couple of months back it was horrible the owner wasnt very impressed with it either he is looking for a rwd but he is looking for a swb rwd very rare!

A mate of mine bought a brand new mk6 to replace his mk5 jumbo TD. when he picked it up it was that slow he turned round and took it back and said there's something wrong with it!! - they told him is would "loosen up" after it had a few thousand miles on it!! to be fair to them it did get faster, but never was as quick as his old one!!!

i agree there mk5 td's when running right are excellent and go on forever i know someone who got a jumbo the engine seized on the way back from the dealers and since then nothing but probs nigly things mainly

ive looked around the turbo etc is there an actuater or anything to play with or is it all electronic now i had a vauxhall movano fly straight past me today and i cant have that

My newest transit is A 51 reg 300 lwb hi top 2.0 ltr turbo fwd, and it fly's cannot fault it.

doh i often have sussex ambulance service sprinters fly past me but there always on the back of a breakdown truck i know somone who knows someone who drives one apparently they had all the new ones restricted they kept blowing the old ones up

is it me or are these "vauxhall movano" vans just a renault master ?? i had a good look at them and apart from the badges and grill they look identical
i mean the sprinters and vw lt looks similar but have a few differences.
