For occasional overnight use, I've made a ply base that covers nearly all of the rear of our Shuttle (with both rear rows of seats removed), and will just throw 2 80x200cm Ikea foam mattresses on top of it, which are almost a perfect fit. Total cost £120 for three 8x4 12mm ply sheets from...

hello I would like to motorize the sliding door is it possible

In the not too distant future, I intend to replace my rear disks and pads,Brembo. While I'm at it I will also replace the brake fluid. Is the sequence for bleeding, rear offside, rear nearside, front offside and front nearside? I'm just going off the position of the abs not the cylinder. Thanks...

Hi all I've been searching for some DIY bed ideas, as some of the ones I've found online are quite expensive. I've found a couple of previous posts, searching for "DIY beds", so maybe I'm using the wrong search terms, but I'd be grateful to see what you've managed to build yourself for a T6...

Is anyone changing the rear diff oil on a 4motion? I'm not talking about the Haldex oil. I bought a 2018 T6 T32 LWB Kombi, 4motion, 204hp, DSG with VW FSH, 39k miles from a small trader in Dec 2023. 3 weeks later I popped into my local van centre and they offered me a warranty/service...

For anyone looking for ideas i thought i'd share my homemade bed/shelf. All in it cost me about £70 in materials. I wanted to make something that was Removable with no permanant fixings or holes yet fixed to the floor Fairly cheap to make Was tight to the edges of the van as to not loose stuff...

hi people of transporter land....first time i've done this kinda thing so go gently with this older dood. I'll cut to the salient point! I have had me likkle SWB kombi T5 (2015 plate) for a few years now and have been harbouring ambitions of poppping the top! ooh I've managed to acquire...

Hi all, it’s probably been discussed a million times but I can’t find a definitive answer. I’m wanting to add the westfalia towbar to my 21 plate t6.1 which according to the build sheet it has trailer prep from factory. So that ticks the easy box as such. The question is around the removed...

So the van build planning took a break for a while but back on it, currently pondering the idea of if I find a decent kombi van with rear ac vents how difficult is it to reroute ducting and wiring once pop top is fitted, similar to that of a cali, I'm stuck on wanting a lwb or I think I probably...

Morning all I'm in the world of pain that is a 1500 page PDF of all of the possible combinations of wiring anyone could ever imagine might have been needed for troubleshooting T6 electrics. I have gleaned so far that SC56 is the magic fuse that's needed to start the van. If I follow the black...

I need to replace clutch master cylinder. Anyone got a guide on how to remove it as I am having a nightmare. I have removed pedal from the pivot point but I don't think that was right. I can't get the metal housing out. But refitting it the same way seems impossible. Also can I bleed it by...

I've noticed that the rubber under my rear springs has disintegrated and I ordered those uprated powerflex ones. As I tow a lot and the van is loaded most of the year I also got 13mm spacers for the back. This is a 4motion, do I have to remove the cv axles to complete this task? I know the...

Thought I'd share my efforts this weekend. Kit from Furniture Clinic, was about £21 with new customer discount code. Before: and After Not perfect but miles better!! Saved a fortune on a new wheels or recovered one. Might help someone out on here.

Hi, I've purchased some front Grille Trims (ABS) and also some Wing Mirror Trim Lines (powder coated stainless steel) from Vanstyle, see links below: Grill Trims (ABS) Gloss Red ABS Lower Grille Trim Insert Set - VW T6 2015 - Vanstyle Wing Mirror Trims (Powder Coated Stainless Steel) Red...

Hi all, Just bought a fairly basic gloss black splitter for my t6.1 and it came with some galvanised self tappers. I’m impressed with the rigidity and finish of the splitter, but am questioning the fixtures… They looked a bit flimsy for my liking, so I’ve got out some 25mm M6 stainless bolts...

Hi there, I’m new to the forum and I thought I’d post about my project. I bought a T32 kombi recently which had been a builders van and so I’ve embarked on turning into to a day van. Started off with soundproofing & insulation and carpet lining which went pretty well. Upgraded the speakers and...

We just sold our T4 after 15 years of good, no great times. We’re now planning the build on our next one. I built my furniture units from scratch using 15 mil lightweight double faced cedar 7 ply from Morland.com. I used titanium silver for the last one and managed to get a good matching iron on...

Hi all, i recently posted about my d2 heater having H1 service fault and fault code relating to faulty motor. Happily, I managed to have a new motor replaced under warranty so happy days! I am trying to refit it now but have come across a small problem. On the heater itself, the diesel inlet is...

No bank holiday trip for me until I replace one of my front springs that has snapped! Can't find a T32 specific video on YouTube. Do I need to undo all four bolts, two front and two rear, to remove the suspension leg from the hub? Can I get away with not removing the brakes and driveshaft...

Does anyone with a Hilo roof use an external pop top cover, such as the ones supplied by Rainbow Screens? If so, what is the technique for getting the cover on & off this pop-top, given its enormous height? TIA
