Thinking of some stainless bars myself, not sure what roof bars to get (probably black. chrome will just be too much for me), bumper protector also (as i actually use my van for heavy duty applications as well) - Want to kit out with some 'go away stuff', blck out blinds etc. Looking forward to...

Unfortunately not. I had both and that was not much help although some savings on the overall retrofit cost.

I'm just trying to piece together the last part of my retrofit. The parking sensors..... They are connected now but don't seem to be communicating with the tailgate module. I'd be eternally grateful if anybody with factory fitted electric tailgate and access to VCDS could provide me with the...

OK the story so far, got retrofit kit from china $500 inc shipping, replaced original hinges with electric tailgate version this has helped the tailgate open better, no difference to the closing (as suggested) however this did allow me to add extra weight to the tailgate thinking this would help...

Yes, I worked that out, at the moment it will open ok and not close but think this is down to the weight of the tailgate, but if I add more weight to the tailgate it shuts ok but won't open...

Electric tailgate hinges are very important element of this retrofit for tailgate opening but they have no effect on the closing of the tailgate.

Bloody Volkswagen, they really did their homework properly to make sure that electric tailgate retrofit is not going to be possible with non electric (7E0) tailgate. There is literally few extra mm of space required to accommodate electric drives (struts/rams). There might be other ways to...

When ordering a new (T6) the option would (have) be(en) 4E8 = "Tailgate/trunk lid release from inside (electrically)". However, the option is usually not shown in public configurators. Other related threads: ---> Retrofitting Tailgate Switch ---> Retrofitting Tailgate Handle and Switch

A lot of you who considered this retrofit was convinced that BCM needs to be upgraded but this is not required as all T6 BCMs and T5FL(2010-2015) are compatible with electric tailgate. To clarify, BCM is all in one unit(power supply unit, central electronics, CAN gateway & battery regulator). Up...
