I want to upgrade my T4. A few VR6 caravells come up on Ebay, but I know nothing about them, Any info re insurance, mpg etc would be helpfull, If I get one I will be asking Steve at Gasure to put a LPG system on it. My current 2l on lpg does about 22mpg so at .479 p per ltr its more ecomonic that Dz. Hence I wat to stay with petrol/lpg. I also get free parking in Sheffield cos its greener with ~ 70% reduction in co2 i believe.
Thanks
Tony

fuel consumption will be about the same if you drive nice. my auto vr6 would do between 15 and 13 depending on if i was in a rush or towing or just cruising. fit genuine ht leads only. as the pattern ones are ****. i changed mine every 18 months. it would develop a miss fire otherwise

Agree with the HT leads. Pattern ones seem to be a really **** fit. VW ones are stupid expensive though.

Question on the VR6. Is it a long nose or will the VR6 fit into a short nose. Considering a daft engine change at some point in the future.

i think to fit the rads in with the vr6 it had to be a long nose. could be wrong

I did wonder exactly that myself.

Anyone confirm?

Just had a quick bay search the only VR6 on there is a long nose.

 

[baggie_rich]

only fit in a long nose!!T:

I think this is the reason the long nose exists (to fit a Vr6 engine in!)

 

[Blackett]

As far as I know the long nose only exists because of the VR6 lump not fitting in the short nose engine compartment.

Wah

That rules out that option then. Shame but plenty others around
