    Advice wanted

    Anybody use a 2005 onwards VW Caddy for work/business? What are they like in terms of reliability etc. Any known faults or niggles?

    have quite a few at work. mostly the maxi?? ones tho. the longer wheelbase. fairly quick, handle alright. no real issues with them. most are 08 plate and newer.

    had one for a while back in 01/02 put over 1k miles a week on it. never had an issue with it apart from i hit a puddle on landing after a launch over a humpback bridge in godalming.....hehe...hooligan....the air feed was on the pass side low down on those, sucked a load of water in and it didnt do it any favours lol. it did start and run again about an hour later, smoked like fuk for about 2 hours, had intermittent turbo working/not working for a couple days, was a bit weird tbh, i thought itd just bend the rods trying to compress the water. but, ran fine after a couple days hammering.
