Depends on what van you have. If it's a Mk4, 5, 6 or 7 then post the reg and someone will be able to tell you.

Insurance may not actually be any cheaper as commercial insurance is quoted on the vans GVW not the engine size. Last quote I had there was no difference between a 190 76ps and a 190 100ps.
