LOOKING TO UPGRADE,ANY THOUGHTS/ADVICE PLEASE

Postby CHADVALLI » Mon Jun 09, 2008 7:29 am

Hi All
Im looking to upgrade my Mk5 LWB (with banana engine) an have heard various bad stories regarding the newer engines. Are any of these stories true? Which are the ones to go for, and which are the ones that'll do the mileage without too many problems. Would also look at one of the mini-bus range for a camper project and wondered about the de-classification procedure or DVLA requirements
Many thanks
Andy

have you searched the site as the question you have asked has many many answers on this diverse subject.

personally until i upgrade myself i would keep the current as they are less trouble, that being said when i upgrade it will be to what ever I can afford with a turbo !!!
