buying a delica... help please

[mabak77]

Hello,

I am looking to buy a Delica and am having troubles finding information about the different types etc.

First... Can someone tell me the major differences, pros/cons, of having a gas vs diesel delica

Also I heard some bad stuff about the V6 engine... any information?
I am looking to buy a 24 vavle V6 3000 Delica, low km, 1997... but am worried about it becuase its gasoline and its a V6 engine which I have heard some negative things on...

please advise... any help would be greatly appreciated

Thank you,

Mel

V6 has a manufacturers defect where the crank shaft pulley bolt can shear off. It was warrantied, but without paperwork to show if it was fixed, you have no way of knowing. I had it shear off on my mighty max and it destroyed the entire engine.

I was looking into the GDI units and the micro fuel filters sounded like a nightmare. I decided to not go that route.

Hi Mel, it is much quicker to just meet up somewhere, and you crawl over my l300's (one we camperized inside, one is nornal), and drive them around our quiet streets. Check out the hitch, the roof rack, and heaps of electrical stuff jay has done. We have owned for 5.5 years, and organize many events for the delica group, so we really know the ins and outs. We live in Burnaby.

Who with an L400 can volunteer to show Mel the pros/cons. ?

Chistine and Jay.

To be blunt, re choosing gas or diesel; If you're a diesel fan, you'd know.

Happy shopping!
