VW Caddy TDI van

[Nismo22]

gW caddys normally all expire in 2013/14 , GU plate caddys normally expire 2017, else they already scrapped.

 

[Nismo22]

extend 5 yrs , 5 yrs up canot extend anymore , and no value , better to get 10 ,

 

[Nismo22]

u renew now is 2 x inspection a year hor , if not is once yearly. , anyway got some years left drive loh , not bad.

is the diesel good grade..i intend to pump in my company but i'm afraid to.. as there was problem previously

Diesel price today is around $1.60.

The cheapest you can get is around $1.30 at Esso after 18% discount, with DBS Esso card.

I wouldn't waste my money with Caltex diesel, only 5% discount.

 

There is something called "industrial" or "oem" diesel or whatever, sold by some companies at Sg Kadut.

It is supposed to "dirty", so many people stay clear.

 

For me, the cost matters bcoz I moved around quite a bit.

I started pumping this diesel and I don't have problem with it in the TDI.

 

This TDI is euro 2, so may not have much problem.

But for the new TDI euro 4, I dunno.

so nismo you saying is worth to buy caddy which left 2 years huh? wah so many complacating stuff leh.... hmmm must try hunting for caddy ready.. i saw 1 at 1shift... gu8866 oh things aqre grerat

[Nismo22]

its a gamble if u buy left 2 yrs , cos need see end of 2 yrs coe worth to renew ornt , so best is to get it as cheaply as possible , dealers are desperate to sell anyway , time is running out , see how much u can squeeze out of them.

 

[Kb27]

If you ask Alvin, he'll tell you buying commercial vehicle is about buying COE.

[Nismo22]

would u spend 32k to renew coe when dealer only eat ur van at 6k max, ? market value ard 8k.

[Nismo22]

he damn lucky loh , $86 coe for 10 yrs, ,

[Nismo22]

oh yeah , kb27 , have u managed to find any scrapyard with alot of caddys? i havent encountred one yet , i wana get the roof handle for passenger side , only avaliable in GU caddys , Gw dont seem to come equipped with it.

I dunno any scrapyard. Check with Alvin. Sometimes, he gets Caddy to be scrapped.

Mine is GU, COE till 2017...although I can't recall if there's a handle there right now.

The last time my fren scrapped his, we stripped out whatever we can. But sometimes you miss out here and there.

 

If you don't mind paying for new parts, try the stockists.

guys i'm back after long time... im hunting for a TDI now... saw one in sgcamart the silver GW $ digit no... asking for 7,300. worth? check other places but cant get any direct buyers.... can i take bank loan for this veh? which bank you guys recommend?

 

[Flyingfit]

looking to get a caddy just for transport to work, wondering if anyone has any input they can give on whether if its a good time to geet a caddy now, saw a few 2017 caddys but i've not ventured into the commercial veh sector before, but work calls for it so looking for some input.

[dragonbob]

The CAddy Tdi is the only model sold here that has the 1.9 Tdi block. Cant say much more than that ........suppose u'll have to ask guy from EuroVan abt that.....

Hi, I have a 2012 Caddy 1.6 TDI DSG. It's a 7-speed DSG. Anyone can advise on when should the DSG oil be changed. Heard from someone that it's maintenance free and does not need to be changed. Just completed 90K service last month.

don't be fooled, DSG is never main free..changing a GB is more profitable than changing DSG oil.. mine changed every 60K
