White van man (Vw T4)
Discussion
Been reading Pistonheads for ages now so thought its about time i signed up and shared my experiences.
Although my trusty steed may not be as exotic or quick as most of the metal on these pages i don't care. I love driving this jaloppy. Oh and I can make a brew and have a kip in the back if i wish.
Have owned it over a year now. Future plans include tweeking the fuel and boost as well as fitting a Mitsi l200 inter cooler and de-cat pipe. It wont set the world alight but any extra horses will help. I also plan to refit the interior over the winter to make next years camping adventures a little more comfortable.
My other motor is this,
Currently sitting the the garage over winter waiting for me to finish building a 2110 stroker engine

I think you might mean the Sharan - that was available as a 2.8 VR6. A couple of my buddies have a T4 and T5 Transporters, we've nailed both of them across Europe over the last couple of summers going to Berg Cup and Nurburgring, they've both been superb 5 up with associated crap in the back

Not sure if you could get the T4 van with a VR6 here but you could definitely get the Caravelle etc. versions with it. 174 bhp I believe.Yea i meant its the Caravelle that comes with a VR6. I did look at one once, nice engine but the rest of the van was rubbish.
Just ordered myself an upgraded headlight loom for the van. Its a common design fault that the T4 lights are rubbish. They only get something like 9v because of the stupid way VW routed the wires. Might be able to see where im going now on these dark mornings.
