golf engine

Post by simonruth »

Hi there. New to all this. Trying to find a t25 diesel camper. Have been to see a couple of westys with 1.9 td golf replacement engines - are these any good? mpg? Also they still seem to be registered as 1.6 with dvla. Is this a problem?
Thanks. Simon.

yep....both the jx (1.6td) and the 1.9 tds are good choices.

the 1.6 td lacks a little power on the climbs....but if you get a good one they do a good job

both are economical ...a good jx will do a sensible 35mpg
