Time will tell, I think every motor has there issues. Some are just better or worse than others of the same year & model. I have 2 friends who swear by mk7s, some motors just give u grief no matter how u look after them. My budget dictated what I could get tbh. Fingers crossed it serves me well.I got two x 2012 transits and there sh*t mate , i have also 2x 2004 and a 2006 one
Mk7 transits are terrible compares to the MK6s
The Mk6 are more cheaper to run and repair
Good luck with the new tranny
