Volkswagen Transporter, 2005, Kajaani

Additional information

The vehicle is in reasonable condition for its mileage and has been run in for just under 800,000 km. Used as a bus.

- Recent roadworthiness inspection; repair advisories for the reflectors and number plate lights, otherwise nothing noteworthy.

- 775,440 km on the odometer

- 2 Lazer panels + 1 other auxiliary light panel at the front

- Webasto heater with timer, working (at least it starts blowing)

- Retrofitted hose heater, allowing it to be plugged in during severe frosts

- Maintenance charger (charges whenever plugged in)

- Additional reversing/work lights at the rear, switch on automatically when reverse gear is selected (automatic function can be disabled) and can also be switched on separately

- New battery

- 2 sets of tyres on alloy wheels, both with plenty of tread.

- Recent maintenance includes replacement of 3 injectors and all injector-seat seals, injector wiring loom and camshaft; oil and filter changed regularly and X1R added to the oil; rear wheel bearing replaced

- Wear parts, brakes, drop links, etc. replaced as required.

- Mechanically in reasonable condition and has been used daily for many years.

- There are also matters to note, including signs of use in the interior. The roof lining should probably be secured better; at the rear, the adhesive on the stickers has failed in places and they are also slightly loose by the door. The previous owner disabled the electric sliding door; the motors, etc. are apparently still in place, but the cable mechanisms, etc. are missing. The condition of the wiring is unknown. The previous owner also replaced the gearbox with a used one, which has had the following characteristic from the outset: if the accelerator is pressed just so when changing from 1st to 2nd or from 1st to reverse, the gearbox “bangs”, i.e. changes gear somewhat harshly. This has been investigated occasionally, with the conclusion that an oil passage may be slightly blocked, preventing the oil pressure from being correct, etc., causing this. However, the characteristic has been present in this vehicle for 300,000 km, so it has not broken down because of it; you also learn to drive it so that it does not “bang” 😄

- The air-conditioning will probably need servicing by next summer; towards the end of summer it only blew cool air.

- There is some rust.

- No warning lights are illuminated.
