jambco984 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I am about to become the proud owner of a Volkswagen Vesto 1.5 Auto, little dream machine as far as Thailand and old cars go. Can I put an LPG system in it and how much will it cost me? I live in Ratchaburi so local ish areas would be appreciated or general views on the subject Thank you in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katabeachbum Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 you probably need to supply correct engine info, as i havent heard of 1994 1,5. possibly 1,6, likely 1,8, perhaps2,0 all 2 valves both 1,8 and 2,0 runs fine on LPG, but for a 17 year old you never know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monekyface Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I'm curious- I've heard that LPG engines will not last nearly as long as gasoline or diesel- true or false? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kartman Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Every day you see thousands of them blown up at the side of the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combustion temperetaure is higher. But some engines last almost as long, while some last only 60k km before 5-20k baht repair is needed. Typical valves, seats, possibly pistons, possibly head VW/Audi/Seat 2 valves are known to last long on LPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
