My 1998 VW T4 which I bought in 2007 was a van that run like clockwork, it was a front wheel drive 5 cylinder petrol running on 98 octane, oil to be changed every 5000 klm, if I went over by 10 klm it would let me know, it would, miss, rattle, shake, vibrate, you name it and it did it.
But do oil change dead on 5000 klm and it would grow another leg, like a Melbourne Cup mud runner, it was the strangest car/van I ever owned, it would pig root around and try and throw you out to the cabin, the dude I bought it off warned me too!...I didn't believe him, only did that once, this thing had a soul, was a mean spirited thing, I did end up selling it though to buy a 4 x 4, and I warned the new owner too, follow the log book and it will be fine!
And it only took VW oil, nothing else.
Strange car, but very reliable if serviced on time, every time!...
Cheers King Billy
