Not the engine
A concrete wall ended it's life, I'm afraid.
The TDI engines in the T4 and the 850 are in my opinion the most reliable diesel that VW ever manufactured. I've seen unmaintained engines with up to 720000 km on the clock. The same engines were also in the 2nd generation LT.
My Caravelle was tuned at 401000 km and had 440000 km on the clock at the time of the accident. The engine is still perfect and I have taken it out to be used as spare engine for the Transporter.
