Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • VIC Old geezer has a T4 Transporter

    Hello Transporter fans,
    after 'consuming' 16 cars since 1967, mostly discarded with 200K, I'm thrilled with this T4 Transporter with now almost 400.000Kms. It just keeps going and only requires some basic maintenance. It's a 5 cylinder petrol job with an LPG conversion. Purchased with 155K at the beginning of this decade it has been off the road only twice, when it got hit by a roo and when the ignition coil melted. Because we live out of town I do most of the service and maintenance, and thanks to a service manual and a reliable source of VW parts, I'm quite confident with it and recently replaced the failed fuel pump.
    My question to you Transporter fans; how long will it last? I met a Caravelle owner claiming he's got 800K on it, can this be true?
    Love to hear from You, Henryb.
