1.9TDI conversion maybe? I believe the Passat AFN 110BHP is a nice conversion? Mind you, I know fuck all about the T4s, I'm only going on half-remembered beer-talk so I could be completely wide of the mark (again!) ;)

2.4d or 2.5tdi?
I changed an engine for a guy last year in one of these 2.4d. The cheapest option is to find a good replacement engine, you'd need to change the box and a load of other mods if you want to go 1.9.

Yes. If van has full vw service, if Timing belt was replaced by VW then if belt snapped inside it service life (I think 60k miles/4years) then vw are liable. Contact the garage that last replaced the belt. They would have a record of it.

If you do go 1.9tdi try get an engine from a caddy , golf , bora as they are better suited , passat and A4 engines will fit but need more work
