1700 1800 or 2000cc ?

[vwcamper]

How do you tell the difference between a 1700cc 1800cc and 2000cc type 4 motor? I am thinking of buying a 72 bay and the owner says that the engine is a 2.0L , but the v5 says 1679cc

CM, CN - 1800
CP, CT - 2000

Hi, The number starts with CU and on thesamba website it says, CU 1980-1983 2000cc - Vanagon style. So i guess the engines from an 80's volkswagen ??

a picture would be good, to fit a T25 engine in a T2 is a fair job, the tinware isn't the same, i suppose it could just have a CU block but seems unlikely.

CU is a 2.0l engine from a T25 Vanagaon.

Sounds like they have exchanged engines but not updated the V5...naughty.!!

Sounds like it had a1700 type 4 engine in that has been changed to a 2.0 type 4 engine, other than the engine number there's not much to see that's different

Yep 72 was the first of the type 4 busses ...... 1700

I have a CU 2.0L in my 72' - was already in the camper when I bought it.

You sure its not an AW (1800 from 73?)

 

[davidoft]

AN code
1800 93 66 1795
914 / 412LS
85 HP
F.I. or Twin Carb

hmmm interesting, got a picture

its on the data in the link about 12 down from the top

so looks to be either a porsche 914 engine or a 412ls
