Latest Transit van without a wet belt?.
- Thread starter Keithmac
- Start date
This thread does nothing for my fear of anything remotely new (& not helped by the steady throughput of newish, reasonable mileage bits of engine that go through where I work).
I spent ages nearly 2-years-ago looking for a lowish miles pre-Euro5 vantage convert to a camper. I eventually bought an 80k miles Renault Master dci100, 2008 (no DMF or DPF, but still too many electronics for my nerves).
I'm not sure I'd have any faith in newer stuff - even though I'm aware some can run to impressive mileages reliably. As someone who'd have to buy used, stuff now seems so fragile unless meticulously maintained.... & you just cannot have trust that any used diesel will have got that (no matter what its got stamped in the service book).

Our Euro 5 PSA group engine in the Kuga has been bullet proof.
The later cars and vans seem to be crippled with emissions related tat, and the wet belts..
2.2 Ford engine? I wonder why that would be better, could it be the Transit ECU?Our Euro 5 PSA group engine in the Kuga has been bullet proof.
