Mk7 or 8

[nugroup]

Hi have Turkish built 2012 vm lwb rwd upgraded with puma motor turbo and intercooler would it be better looking in mk8 posts for info?

My 2012 XLWB RWD 2.2 E5 is a Mk7 built in Turkey.

What is VM?

Puma named motor was around in 1997. It seems there was a revamp in 2019. So it'll depend on what variant you've got and if the changes in 2011 still apply to recent vans.

So it seems the van's body stuff is Mk7 and the engine is whatever variant it is.

VM is an Oz/NZ name for them,
Knobbly will likely be along shortly to clarify

2012 depending when it was built and registered could be a 2.4 euro 4 or a 2.2 Euro 5
But both are Mk7

Yep.."VM" is any Mk7 in Aus/NZ....he has a 2012 so it will be Euro-5....we don't use "reg" dates here in downunder land...we use actual build dates to determine models.

VH-VJ is Mk6.

Just fit a complete lower wishbone, they're not that expensive and much easier than struggling with bushes and ball joints.

Had never bought a wishbone for a burst Bush lol, bush only about £10 and little bit more work rather than £40 for the wishbone but a good vice or hydraulic press makes fitting bush much easier

For me costing my time getting the old bush out, new bush in its not worth the hassle, and if you've not got suitable gear it's not worth the grief

There's literally dozens of different springs for them depending on model, weight class and whether heavy duty or not.

Finding the correct ones for a particular model isn't real easy.
