VW Crafter LWB (L3H2)
Reduced price for quick sale! – MUST GO!!!!!
This is Melanie. She’s a 2014 VW Crafter LWB with a RARE Twin Turbo 163bhp engine, excellent for going up steep hills and towing around weight, compared with the smaller 103bhp engines on most VW Crafters. Always been mechanically sound, 33mpg even when fully loaded (2,980kg). 163,600 miles, full repair history on all parts replaced since we’ve owned the van (5 years). We’ve done over 40,000 miles in her all across Europe and know her well, but due to a little one quickly on the way, we reluctantly need to sell quickly.
– BRAND NEW Turbo (£1500 to replace)
– New MOT (March 2024 – MOT history is in km as we don’t work in miles)
– Full Oil + Filter Changes every 6,000 miles.
– Cambelt done at 152,000 miles.
– Continental four-season tyres (winter grade for Europe) – done at 151,000 miles.
– New front brake disks + pads, rear brake pads and handbrake.
– New alternator (140A upgraded) + starter battery.
– New front suspension (shock absorbers + ball joints).
She was our full-time home for the past 2 years. We replaced anything that broke or needed fixing, including preventative maintenance, to keep her running smoothly.
