T5 4Motion & T5.5 4Motion Spotted

Thought I'd share this....

Spotted these 2 vehicles yesterday locally conducting an install of specialist equipment. Not Syncros, but the modern "equivalent". What makes them interesting is the mileage completed. The red T5 128kW 4Motion now has 470,000km, and the Blue 132kW 4Motion BiTurbo is only 3 weeks old and has travelled 9,000km. What is particularly interesting is the red T5 has been 'chipped' to 170kW and 510Nm, yet it has still been very reliable.

That is very interesting, much better than the stories you hear about reliability coming out of the UK with T5s
