HI all out there , I hope you dont mind but joined this cool looking club to hope that someone can come to my help , its a long story so not sure if you want to here it as its a heart breaking one with regards to my van mk4 , but in a nutshell I was the amazing new owner to her last year she has a custom paint to say the least . I decided to hire her out as I had bought 2 vans in the same week last year (another long story ) anyway to justify having 2 vans to the wife I made the decision to hire her out The Barramundi via quirky campers are you still with me so far .
Well turns out the first booking i get to hire her out the guy picks her up late Friday night and takes her all the way to Scotland but somewhere the first night the engine alternator bolt sheered off and pushed the rod back into the oil filter and pierced the top of it to which the oil started to leake out , the next day he checked the oil level and could not read it as didnt see any on it , so rather than put some in continued to drive over 200 miles telling me later that no oil light was on , till the next day when the light came on and also a loud banging noise when he started it , the big end has gone . So as a result I have a knacked engine that needs replacing Ijust thought that this forum would be a good place to start my quest .
Thanks in advance out there in transit land .
