Re: Thinking of getting a vw transporter
Vivaros are an unremitting bag of sh*t. 100k says fook all. Camchain throwing, turbo munching, gearbox shredding pile of toss.
I don't really think it's the agricultural problem with fords, they're not that bad to drive. It's the reliability design flaws that cause problems. They've been problematic since the old smiley-face version came to an end.
My merc vito has done well north of 200k and is highly agricultural due to having a slightly retuned industrial water pump/generator engine. Not fast but they last forever (until the bodywork rots out...). Sadly it all went to bollox with the common-fail CDI engine replacing the proper diesel lump.
