My New (Old) T4

[Golf Loon]

Just Got myself a new Van to replace my old Ford Ute.

And some signwriting to promote my business.







Shes a ripper so far, I looked under the bonnet and went "Thats a Golf Engine!" It has the cracked manifold problem and needs a rear door seal, besides that shes great.

So you got a 2l

[SOHC]

What? a 2L?? it must be slow s... but looking nice, good to move things around

[Golf Loon]

Its actually not that slow if you cane it through the gears. Gearbox is quite positive. Nice toi sit up higher than the ute too. And you can get 2 pallets in the back

The Green T4 is a 2 Litre. It has been half way round Australia.

Yeah 6 weeks into ownership, its great. It pulls away quick enough, cruises at 130 all day long and is just like a Golf to drive.

The lack of power steer is not an issue due to the huge steering wheel.

Only faults were temp sensor, which I have changed, tired gearbox and flatulent exhaust.

It needed a new rear door seal $350 genuine, or $50 Clarke rubber. It wasn`t a hard choice.

The van can carry huge loads and I have towed a few cars with it too.

I have owned many Toyota and Ford Utes and Vans and various others, I wont be going back, T4s rock.

I read once that if ordinary ULP is used, it can crack a manifold. I've always used PULP.

Yeah I think it is a sign that the previous owner used lowgrade fuel. I always use 98 or 95 octane and it makes it a different vehicle to drive. Any I reckon I go heaps further. More bang for my buck.
