is it Aircooled?

not wanting to pi$$ on your chips but if so they are very underpowered sorry

the 2000 Aircooled is no ball of fire without some mods.

if the bus is a goodun i would look at fitting a 2000 just for useability.

no mate its a watercooled 1.6 petrol. Will probably wait until it dies before swapping for something bigger.

I could be wrong but i thought the watercooled petrol engines were 1.9 or 2.1

Cheers dsa
The couple I bought it from said it was a 1.6 petrol, it confused me too. It must be a 1.9 petrol then. Are they any good?
