Volkswagen Multivan Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Volkswagen Multivan here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

  • Volkswagen Multivan 2010: Engine replacement or rebuild?

    If you are not sure get another opinion. That would probably mean having it trucked to another location, but that’s the best thing to do to make sure the advice you are getting is correct.

  • Should I replace my 2011 Carnival?

    I would get a second opinion on the Kia's engine before you do anything else. A sludged-up engine suggests a lack of servicing, but if no damage has occurred you might be able to salvage it. I wouldn't recommend either a Multivan or Valente, those you are looking at are too old and potentially too expensive to run and repair. A seven-seat SUV might be a better option.

  • My VW Multivan is a lemon, is there a legal resource I can call for assistance?

    You can start by having the dealer explain what they are doing to try and fix your car. If they cannot provide a satisfactory story on their plan to sort the problem out, ask them to call in experts form VW head office to assist them. If that doesn't work out get the advice of the consumer affairs department in Perth. Talk to a lawyer if things don't appear to be improving.

  • Best car for legroom, seating, towing and reliability?

    From my experience, the Grand Vitara has the best reputation for reliability and for you it ticks the boxes. Next would be the Honda CR-V, then the Dualis with the ASX definitely last.
