Hello Sam, Quick one for you - how best did you check the continuity? I presume you had to pierce the wire insulation to do so as theres no connectors here?

If you remove the tap lever you’ll be able to access the micro switch. If it’s a Smev unit the plastic centre plug covering the tap lever screw doesn’t come out easily without damaging it. Best replaced with a rubber blanking grommet of a suitable size.

Hi - thanks for the reply. So you ran your cable under the van and back up in the step? Did you put it into any copex or conduit? What size cables did you use?

Mine go out through the big grommet under the seat then via the big void under the offside underbody plastic trim. They then come back in through a hole drilled where the offside step used to be. Grommet fitted obviously. I took my floor over the void where the step was and then used that gap...

...bonnet pull and move out of the way. I then removed the earth wire nut (10mm) to get everything out of the way. Once done you’ll see a black grommet tucked in the corner, mine had sealer over the top of it to give you an idea of how close to the wheel arch it is. Remove this grommet. You then...

Makes sense. Light's now working but without the 2 extra wires so far. I will say that the de-pinning tool made it a doddle. Was having all sorts of dramas with the alien key or paper clip method.

All soldered splices in the loom, insulated with self amalgamating tape on the dry side of the D pillar grommet.

Wow, thanks for the thorough reply, n10n! Loads of useful info! ...except, now I'm not sure I'm up to the job, LOL! Taking off the bumper is probably within my comfort zone, but as far as wiring, I was hoping not to deal with anything beyond just connecting plugs - no tapping into CAN network...

...something could be improvised from threaded rod and some plastic scrap pieces. Don’t do what I did with wire routing: I used the lowest grommet behind the bumper. But it’s not a good route, there’s a very narrow channel behind and hard to get wires through. Would have been better to use a...

All of the reviews on Amazon reckon they don't fit T5 ot T6 even thought the advert states they are compatible. Seems the grommets are between 9-10mm dia requiring the vans holes to be drilled.

...- might just be worth checking you're not getting a squirt out of that pipe though when you do it though. I think the more usual leak in that area can be debris in the scuttle or bad sealing around the wiring grommets behind the battery area, might be worth a check. But that pipe is intriguing.

Andy.....many thanks for that! I'll take a look. I've cleared it again with carista and re set the tyre pressures. I know it'll come back but it's good to know that it may well not be eye wateringly expensive. Also, many thanks to @roadtripper. Can you give me any idea of the cost of the...

...VAG, just with VW logo melted/defaced. Also, unless you have 4WD, try to not follow the threads re drilling it out. There’s a gert rubber grommet on the back of the hub! Pull it off and you can see the end of the sensor and push it up and out!! Cheers Andy PS Got mine from Autodoc, as...

I assume it isn't the type of dent that can be removed with suction cups then?

...cooker and furniture are on van? Any ideas how a dent master could gain access ? I’ve attached a pic and highlighted roughly where it is, I spoke with the dent guy and he said about removing the wheel liner to see if there’s any grommets in the area so he could get to the dent that way ? Cheers

Removed the solar panel from the roof - used a 20mm blind grommet where the cable went through and 4x of the roof rail rubber washer bolts with nylock nuts on the ends inside. When I fitted it I applied vinyl wrap where the brackets touched the roof and so the sikaflex was attached to the vinyl...

...internal. If mounting OEM position externally as above but the hole is usually plugged with a plastic bung which is useless for a loom - you need a proper wiring grommet. I use this one: Original 1.75" (45mm) Lucas Black Rubber Wiring Grommet : Part No. 54935995 | eBay this is the correct...

...then from the b-pillar to just behind the rear seats, then to above the tailgate, and then to just before it disappears out through the grommet to the exterior of the van. Cables were fine to all the way back here. Checking continuity from just before it went outside to the abs sensor plug...

Next question, which is correct.. top of the door flush with roof or set below. My left or right door?

...before I think you shouldn't need to move the hinges on the van, it's move moving the door on the hinge. I had a look and there are rubber grommets on the door that hide the fixings......just be careful, support the door and undo enough to move the door before nipping up. Repeat until you are...
