Engine Sounds VW Crafters 2.0 TDI 163 Bhp 260k Miles v 100k Miles Which One Sounds Better

Thanks to my good friend Imran for the use of his 2014 100k Miles VW Crafter as comparison with our 2015 260k Mile Crafter

Soungs just like my crafter. 163 hp with 180 thousand miles. It loves motorways. I've had it 7 years. Hopefully i pickup my new 4X4 180 gte man next week. My previous van was a T5 2.5 i had that for ten years from new, it did 230 thousand miles in that van. The crafter has been a much better van to own and run.

The older one sounds better. You can't beat the old ones ☺️

[@nathanreid2974]

i think I like the older one, the newer one sounds like it has a little knock to it

Hi thanks for watching and commenting, we had a crafter 1 2007 2.5tdi which was awful and unreliable, turbo, EGR and propshaft failure , we then had a 2015 2.0 TDI 163bhp which has covered nearly 300k and has been very reliable bar a few sensors and two electronics water pumps , we also have a crafter 2 177bhp 100k miles and has been fantastic trouble free motoring

@@9186SZ thanks for answer, so crafter 2 140cv mono turbo is unreliable when has over 160k km? (But I see in used market crafter2 have a lot with 300-600k km in sale）

The lower mileage one sounds rather thrashed. Sounds slacker than the high mileage one. All down to maintenance and the driver👍
