Went to look at a VW Transporter today it was exellent inside and out but it had 113000 on the clock it was a turbo diesel 1990 model. we decided not to buy it as we didnt know enough about them, can anyone out there tell me what to look for eg: faults they have if any. As i like the layout of them and would like one for me and the Boss.

Any information would be helpful please

Thanks

Scott

Love to my you all out there 

Hi Scott, thought I'd say hello, as its my first posting!

These are a popular cult wagon, but don't really know much about them.

they are a really good bus, we've got a 1982 Westfalia which in my opinion was the best one that was made.

The main thing with these busses is to buy on bodywork, that can cost a fortune to put right whereas the mechanicals aren't so much of a problem.

With the watercooled ones the main thing is to make sure that they have been well maintained/had the coolant regularly changed due to the distance between the radiator and the engine and pipes that may corrode.

Best sites to have a search on for further info are club 80-90, and the brickyard T3 site.

Prices are climbing more and more due to the prices of earlier campers going up so much with demand in the VW scene and people going for the type 25 as an alternative, then realising how much better they are as a camper.

Any further info you want let me know and i'll try to help
