Volkswagen LT engine options

Different engine types for the VW LT from 1975 to 1995

The VW LT table brings together eleven engines, each identified by its code in brackets. On the petrol side are the four-cylinder 2.0 units derived from the Audi 100 engine, then the six-cylinder 2.4 with 90 and 94 hp. On the diesel side, the 65 hp 2.7 Perkins precedes the six-cylinder D24 family, naturally aspirated, turbo or turbo with intercooler, from 69 to 102 hp. With your van's engine code to hand, you can spot its row in the table and order the matching parts.
