Economy/emissions 2.7 versus 3ltr?

CaptLimey · 16-11-2009, 21:26

I'm intending to upgrade my '96 T2, to a younger model, probably a 2005 or similar. Has anyone any data (or info re where I can find it) on the different fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures of the later 2.7 versus the 3ltr T2s? Also I understand that there are some 'bolt ons' that can improve power/performance/economy of the 2.7. Any info welcome.

If your looking at a 2005 model it will be a MK4.... try here Page 7 has all specs... albeit in kilometers, not miles!!!

Also useful info on everything else

Hi Guys

Thanks for the come backs and links, I'll be doing some research on them.

Extreme - Yes there's an issue on emissions here in France. If it is over 250g/km (I think?) you have to pay an annual tax. If below - no tax. The 3ltr auto T2 is over that but I think (hope) the manual is 240g/km. That's why I'm hovering between a 2.7 and 3ltr. I'd prefer the bigger engine 'cos I'd like the extra power but not at the expense of paying a tax every year if I don't have to.

Get a 2.7 and fit a Tunit box?

CaptLimey · 17-11-2009, 21:13

Hi Guys

Quick update - just done the preliminary research - 2.7 manual = 260 g/km, versus 3.0 Di manual = 240 g/km, plus better MPG (litres per 100 km over here). As the cut off point for annual tax here in France is 250 g/km, it looks like I'll be going for a 3.0 Di.

Anyone got a good low mileage 'left hooker' for sale??????
