Mechanical condition
ENGINE:
· *. * The vehicle itself has 168,000 miles on it, UT the BRAND NEW ENGINE that was rebuilt in Flordia has ONLY aprx 2,000 miles.
In spring of 2014, he old engine died on us when we were driving back to Chicago from Flordia, nd we decided to get it COMPLETELY REBUILT from the ground up. We worked with some of the BEST VW mechanics in the country (Jasons Bug Ranch) and spent $7,000 to rebuild the new engine. It purrs like a kitten and we have had no major problems.
the new engine is great, ut we were having trouble starting the van without stalling. When we called the machanic, e recommended to let the van warm up in park with your foot lightly on the gas for at least 5-10 minutes until you put it into drive and start to go. This allows the belts and engine to synch and she wont stall when starting. This has worked wonderfully for us and as long as we let it warm up, t will run with no stalling.
· No oil or coolant leaks. new gear oil front diff and transmission and engine
· Brakes, teering and handling are all in great shape.
· Van can drive 60+ MPH on flat highway (but obviously slower up hills).
- Sometimes the RPM guage gets stuck and is not functional, hen you hit a bump in the road and it works again—not sure why, robably wiring.
all other gages are working great. That is all, verything else is in perfect order
