I'm looking to run a cable from the main battery into the cabin. Anyone know if there is an easy route through, maybe using an existing path, or do I have to think about drilling a new hole in the engine bay bulkhead (gulp). Any advice much appreciated.
Hi all, I need to add another +12v feed from the starter battery terminal , what's the best way as there isn't much room available underneath the nut on the terminal. Any suggestions please? It's a 2021 t6.1. Thanks in advance
So I'm in the middle of a camper conversion of my 2016 T6 LWB T30.
Been retro fitting OEM parking sensors from carsystems.eu and also fitted a westfalia removable towbar with dedicated wiring without towbar prep. Plus put in reverse camera, RCD360 Pro headunit and a heater under the seat and...
Hello,
I hope someone somewhere can help me! I am very new to car maintenance and it seems I have inadvertently killed my new car.
We bought a 2016 T6 Caravelle a month or so ago. It had had a few modifications done to it, including a remap, a suspension upgrade, and an Alpine ILX-F903D head...
I am in the process if planning a leisure battery install and dc-dc charger.
However firstly I cant work out how to remove the battery to get access to the bulkhead grommets. Secondly is it possible to take power from the fusebox that is on top of the battery. I seem to have some of these unused.
I’m about to start on the transition from van to camper.
I had a quick look at the current state of electrics and found the under the passenger the following cables, see picture, any advice?
Could these be used or is it not worth attempting as it will upset rest of the vans electrics?
Planned...
I'm going to try making my DCDC leisure battery install a bit neater, and as part of this was going to move the fuse that is between the van battery and DCDC charger down in to the E-box (underneath the van battery) like the factory fitted aux battery install (ours didn't come with this option)...
Good evening all,
I have spent many hours searching for info regarding the installation of additional 12v components such as USB sockets, DC-DC chargers and the like. Nearly all of these seem to detail using the spilt charge relay and/or taped up 12v cable under the passenger seat but I have...
Im new to the transporter world. Im looking for a location for my Leisure Battery and have looked under the Single front Passenger seat.
The available pace looks ok. Easily 330 mm L x 230 mm H x 200 mm W.
While looking I found a bunch of taped up (from Factory) Positive wires.
One looks to...
Daft question... do VW pre-install the split charging cables and what not, even if you haven't ticked the box from new. I have a lot of wiring under the front pasenger seat?

Hi All,
Ok, I’m doing first fix wiring on my 17 plate Startline Panel Van…
Ready to install an after market intelligent split charge controller and I have just found some hefty live wires under the passenger seat and wondering if I’m already wired for it? (My 07 plate T5 is and came with...
Hi,
I have a factory leisure battery under the passenger seat and am in the process of fitting a DC-DC charger. There is an existing 80amp fuse on the leisure battery side of the existing split charge relay and I assume there is also a fuse protecting the cable to the relay from the starter...
I have a T6 with the factory fit aux. battery.
Have asked the dealer whether the dash top and dash front 12v sockets are connected to the main battery or the aux, but they can't tell me.
Does anyone know which battery the 12v sockets are connected to?
Want to run a cool box this weekend and...
there's a thick cable under the passenger seat that I'm wondering what it is.
It has a barcode on it? so it looks original.
I'm fitting a leisure battery /ctek solar charger - so am hoping it could be useful.

All,
When I got my new van last year the cigarette lighter on top of the Dash (not the one on the front) was blown. No-one on this forum or other forums could identify what fuse serves it. Older T6's had a fuse under the seat but not mine.
Now resolved by a young apprentice in Leicester. it is...
Having taken out the passenger bench seat, I've got some multi pin connectors under there and these two 15 amp fuses. Does anyone know what they're for. As one of the wires is fairly substantial I'm wondering if it's a positive supply from the main battery, perhaps to supply a secondary battery...
I'm having serious thoughts of extending the Factory Split charge relay live cable to the rear of the van, so i can fit any size battery i want instead of stuffing around and shoehorning a new battery under the passenger seat.
But mainly, because Its a pain to have to remover the seat, then...
