Hi and welcome...
Your fuel statement is a bit
cratch:Just because it costs less to fill up doesn't mean it is better on fuel....just means its got a smaller tank...:whistle:

Welcome -good choice of van and forum.
Use the forum search when you can and see if you can get some piccies uploaded.
Ive got the same model and can easily get 60mpg.
First-off though dont allow the larger offside rear door close even slightly before the small offside one.They changed the latches from the earlier MK3 and you willl get a dent with very little effort.
Allow the engine to run a little while before touching the accelerator pedal , let the engine idle for a while before switching off and get the oil and filter changed before the service interval.
These three will help to minimise the turbo failure which has been a problem with some hdi engines in the past.
