If you own a VW Crafter ranging from 2017 onwards, you might at some point face the need to consider a reconditioned engine. The heart of your vehicle, the engine, is crucial for performance, but like any other part, it can develop issues over time. As a UK based master tech mechanic with extensive experience, I'm here to guide you through what this entails and the intricacies involved.
Typical problems concerning the VW Crafter (2017 to present) may include reduced engine performance, unusual knocking sounds, excessive oil consumption, or the dreaded check engine light. These symptoms can result from a variety of causes such as wear and tear, improper maintenance, and sometimes, unforeseen factory defects.
The causes behind these issues can range broadly from simple ageing of the engine components to more complex problems like a failed turbocharger or issues with the fuel injection system. Symptoms that might indicate your VW Crafter (2017 to present) requires attention include loss of power, excessive exhaust emissions, and abnormal engine noises. These signs suggest that a thorough inspection is necessary.
Reconditioning the engine of a VW Crafter involves several meticulous steps. Initially, the engine is completely dismantled, and each part is inspected and cleaned. Defective components are replaced, and crucial areas like the cylinder heads, cylinders, bearings, and crankshaft undergo precise machining to return them to their optimal specifications. After reassembly, the engine is thoroughly tested to ensure it meets or exceeds original manufacturing standards.
While reconditioning the engine of your VW Crafter (2017 to present) can certainly extend its life and performance, this process can be both time-consuming and costly. You have to consider not only the cost of reconditioning but also potential downtime and the inconvenience of being without a vehicle. Have you considered selling your van?
