This van is currently not in a operational state. It is being stored at my mechanics shop in Mission Viejo, California. When we found the cost of repairs to be great, we chose to look for a new vehicle. The top end of the engine is partially disassembled, camshaft is out. My mechanic found that sludge build up is fairly great. With what work he recommended the cost just pushed us towards looking for something newer. I you are a good mechanic, and know Volkswagon products, this would be an awesome project car. My mechanic suggests replacing the timing sensors, however he said there is a chance they are still good once the engine is thoroughly cleaned out. If it were me, and I had the time, I would remove the engine, disassemble, thoroughly clean and replace any warn parts, and you should be good to go. The engine was running well, but slowly started to decline, which was the timing sensors not being able to read correctly due to the sludge build up. This engine did have it's timing chain replaced a couple years back, a known Eurovan Issue. The alternator was replaced VERY recently, probably less than 500 miles on it. I'm told there is a minor water leak at the thermostat housing (I think that's the location) but is an easy fix when rebuilding. No other known engine issues. Original transmission. The body is in OK condition, maybe a 6 on a 10 scale. It has never been in an accident, never severally damaged, however there is a lot of wear and tear. Many scratches in and around the sliding door area due to servicing my daughter's wheelchair ramp.

The carpeting has not been cleaned for these photos, most will spots and stains will clean up. Someone asked for door dimensions-Rear width varies from 48"-53" wide by 50" high.Side is 40" wide by 50" high. Other thoughts...-Air conditioning works well.-Sliding door needs an adjustment to latch tightly closed easily, it does shut tight with just a little push at the latch location. Also, window latch on slider is broken but secure using pin instead.-Cassette/Stereo works fine, no CD-Tires are fair-Brakes are good-Battery is fairly new (1-2years)-As written above, alternator is brand new (over $400)-As noted above, top end of engine is partially disassembled, all parts are included and sotred in back of van. -Van was dirty when photos taken, although the paint is not perfect, it looks better than the photos. It is a typical 12 year old VW though, the paint is flaking in areas. Available for preview in Mission Viejo, Ca
