So out of all the engines that Volkswagen made and why?

What do you think is best installation 1600 1700 1800 and 2000 in a van

 

Depends upon weight

Not for me to answer

 

I knew you would pop one up Wilf ..you bugger x

 

I would say due to innovation and improvement over the years the 2000 would be the winner as more horses means less strain.
However looking at them today and weighing up the availability and price of spares you would probably go for a type 1 motor as being more popular

 

2 litre type 4. Torque + quiet. Keeps up with traffic and you can actually converse with other occupants

 

Hmm like anything else, my 87 T25 112bhp 2.1 lt goes like a train compared to my 71 1600, no comparison really it is what it is when it was made, otherwise stick a different motor in and have a frankenbus

The 1500 'S' was a sure favourite of mine.
Not suitable for a bus but a very good in the notchback. Would love to own one now.

 

thanks for that

tbh I only know about the 1600 engine
I’m just fishing ... let’s say I’m looking at a van and it has a funny looking engine a 1979 2ltr
Is that good
No I haven’t got any pictures

 

Thank you

 

Nice summing up of nearly 2 decades of development I’d say, performance wise. Sounds like the earlier motors are easier to remove and cheaper to repair though

1500 sp

 

Sdi what’s that
Sexually deserved infection

 

I agree
Comfort zone

 

Type 1, 1500 SP had a nice linear torque curve. Type 4 2ltr useful power, but the 1.8ltr felt smoother.

 

The size and weight of the van really should have at least a 2L maybe a 2.5.
