hi there sunny43.5
Im thinking of getting the same van in the 2 litre petrol. How's yours still running? I can't find many reviews on the petrol but the ones I've found are like yours.....not a bad word to say!

any advice would be greatly recieved

The 2L petrol motor is fundamentally a MK4 2L Golf motor. Basic design, that goes forever. Plenty of MK4 Golfs out there with 300,000km+ on them. No reason why a Transporter won't do it.

Hi Gidge as Umai has explained [ I did not know the history of the 2.0 motor before now but now I do ] but anyway mine has now clicked over 225000 kays and still going , had Jmac service and do the obligatory timing belt and waterpump back in December last year . I now have to look at some front end components as Jmac explained the camber bushes had split so now is a good time for me to do as many front end bits as I can . I don't plan on selling the old girl will just keep it going , as Jmac said if and when the engine dies I will just get it rebuilt as the van itself is solid and it would not attract much as a trade anyway .
