Hi Guys, I have just purchased a new T5 and am experiencing monoxide poisening gas. I had the same problems in the 06T5-130 which is why I changed the vehicle. Works done on the 06T5-130 as follows:
New gaskets on the manfold
New exhaust system
New turbos
All new rubber around doors front and back
Auxillary heater stripped down and renewed
Still unable to find the problem so purchased the newer model and the problems is still there. I put in a monoxide detector which kepts going off, have given van back to VW, anyone with any ideas!!!

The AXE and AXE engined 2.5 vehicles suffer from cracks in the exhaust manifolds... These are the vehicles with a tubular type manifold, the vehicles with cast iron manifolds fare much better.... If you have a look at the T5 section of the Brick Yard site you will see that there are quite a few pages dedicated to the manifold problem.

Is your vehicle the "New" facelifted model or the earlier T5?
