Cheap project T5

Well thats what I call being well and truly screwed and the dealers haven't got the decency to use lubricant while they are doing it !!

Then he had the hide to quote me 'list price' on a new Crafter!
I laughed all the way out..............

It's cool. I was offered 5K on my 2007/8 T5 Multivan on a white 2018 Multivan with a 2 litre DSG motor & steel wheels @ $53K.

Wish I could sort out my gearbox issue quickly while the deal is still on & make a judgment.

Wouldn't the gearbox be their problem then?

I sort of wonder what makes these engines so expensive to fix , is it lack of local parts or is there someting in the way they are built . The good old days you could pick up either short motor or a complete recoed long motor for peanuts compared to todays prices .

I guess any engine is expensive to rebuild today if done properly.
