I think so, maybe engine code AAB,


VW engine codes, look down to Transporter, but doesn't say TD or 5 cyl..

think it was used in some of the early Lt's and wasn't a very long lived engine

Whatever the cylinder count, AABs break their timing belts and thus the engines and cylinder heads are in short supply at breakers. Think they're OK~acceptable when they're going and well maintained though.

There slow, un reliable as above, slow, a pain in the a*** to work on, use more oil than diesel when they have done alot of miles, and slower than a t25 with a DF engine.

The 2.5 tdi is the one to go for.
