[QUOTE="V.R.M., post: 633002, member: 33160"] Was the van driving and sounding normal when you got to the campsite - it seems odd to seize with no warning. No rattles or smell of burning? A new engine can be hard to turn over just pulling the fan belt by hand I wouldn't call it seized till it can't be turned with a spanner or socket on the crank bolt. It is possible something has come loose inside the engine bell housing and jammed the flywheel like a clutch bolt but that's not common. Look for a local VW specialist there must be someone to at least ring for advice. I know I saw a few bay vans outside a garage in Inverness depends where you are [/QUOTE]
