Hi Wannabe

yep, that is the info I have been given, no need for WDH for Air Suspension.

Cheers, Kenny

Hi Ian

What mileage do you get out of your Treg when towing your Van ? I have a 23.6ft Jayco Sterling, similar sort of weight, although I will be towing with the V6TDI, so I would be interested if anyone has consumption figures towing with the V6

Cheers,
Kenny

Hey Kenny
TDIV6 - 3T van. When towing I get around 18l/100k. Hills don’t seem to bother the consumption too much, as you come down them! But wind, wow. I have headed into the wind and seen a tank full give me just 24l/100 while a tail wind once returned 14l/100k. The roof line of the van is 3 metres high, it obviously pushes a lot of wind. Most land cruiser 200 owners report around 20l/100, so we have another plus for the mighty T.
Cheers Les

Hi Kenny

I average around 16l in the V10 but agree a head wind can REALLY increase consumption. Back in September I was in the middle of the dust storms out west and was using a bit over 20l/100 - and that was after I slowed down (necessarily at times as visibility deteriorated). Was not a pleasant couple of days!
