1990 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Description

1990 Volkswagen T4 Syncro AWD 2.4 Diesel Transporter 5 speed transmission (FULL TIME 4X4) T4s – called Eurovans, Transporters, or Caravelles – with Syncro are exceedingly rare. The engine is in the front allowing more cargo area in the rear. The floor is flat and you can stretch out to take a nap and still have plenty of room for your gear, as I have done on road trip across the country this year.
The van is currently in Pennsylvania.

The older Syncros camper version Westphalia are selling online for $30k and more.My plan when I bought it was to build it to a full time camp mobile will not be realized as a financial obligation called IRS means I need cash soon. This transporter has a lot of potential for a go-anywhere camper with great privacy and four wheel drive!

Mileage in kilometers is 310152, approximately 192,000 miles which is low for a diesel. It uses no oil between changes. It was serviced last month, new glow plugs for the winter, air filter and oil change with new oil filter.
Clutch and 5 speed transmission are smooth without problems. It is my daily driver so mileage will change. I get 30 mpg. In its previous life it was used by a carpenter in Germany. Issues: Numerous dents from hauling cargo. Need to click the side door latch a 2nd time and adjust locking latch before closing side door. The inside sliding door panel is damaged. Tires are good for this winter. It drives around here on the farm this week in a foot of snow, getting traction like on a summer day. It will go where others fear to tread.
The engine never heats up, but recently there has developed a small water leak that requires me to add a pint of water about every 100 miles. It should have been fixed when I got the new glow plugs, but the mechanic did not have the part on hand. Note the engine compartment picture; I add water whenever the water level hits min, about a pint. There are three water hoses that are right below engine my mechanic said the unit that they run into may need replaced. The van starts easily with the new glow plugs, even in 0 degrees cold as we had this week without an engine preheater that many diesels require.
