tailgate

Hello all I possibly, maybe, could be having a T6.1 built for me around week 40 2023 (ish) that I ordered in Sep 2021 Due to wanting to add a couple of bits to it post-order (things I couldn't retrofit), I've 'lost' some other bits I originally ordered on it:- electric tailgate rear parking...

Brand new primed LV tailgate spoiler. Collection from Sheffield. £60.00 Thanks

When I start the engine and then open and close driver’s door, the tailgate handle release unlatches the the lock. This is happening on 2021 T6.1. Has anyone had this problem?

I recently got back my T6 from smash repairer, after fitting a new tailgate (no other visible damage). They used the existing tailgate wiring harness. ALMOST everything works OK - but there's a mystery. Rear wiper would not work. Auto Electrician says there's a wire broken somewhere between the...

Hi all Recently got my van back from the body shop and last minute decided not to have my rear spoiler fitted. It has been sprayed RAC orange so may benefit someone who has just purchased an ex RAC van. I would like £175 ovno, just looking to get back the cost of the spoiler and paint work. I...

As above for sale. It's brand new however it was damaged on delivery. I was sent another and never had to return this one. It's been repaired and to be honest has repaired really well. It's unfinished and unprimed. See pic of repair and a couple of pics of the one on my van. £80.00...

I have already carpet lined walls and all plywood panels including the ceiling, so there is no bare metal on walls, wheel arches etc. Have come to the tailgate now, and not sure how much of it I should be carpeting. (I've done the plywood panel, but the rest is still bare metal.) I have a...

I tow a caravan with my T6, Kombi 2018, after opening the tailgate whilst still plugged in (which stops electric opening), the door now only rises to half height on opening with the door handle, I never use the key fob (never really needed to) as I just walk to the door and pull handle. reading...

Hi, Looking to replace my 2018 T6 rear lights (halogen) with OEM T6.1 rear lights (halogen), does anyone know if it’s a straight swap (e.g. matching connectors, no coding etc…)? I’m not looking for the LED conversion just a straight swap if possible. Anyone have experience/knowledge? Tried...

I use my tailgate as an impromptu awning all the time. It’s the best features of the tailgate Has anyone found there to be any issues with water sitting in the number plate recess with the tailgate open in the rain? Apart from standing to the side when closing it to avoid getting soaked, I...

I want to put some lights in the interior panel on the tailgate but I only want them to come on when the tailgate is open, does anyone know where a switched ground wire is? Is this it F5 Luggage compartment light switch, in rear lid F111 Rear lid contact switch? Thanks.

We seem to have a leaking tailgate and sliding door in our 23 plate T6.1 Transporter. I wouldn’t have expected this with a 6 week old van but reading though some threads it seems to happen… Water seems to be passing by the seals, not a lot but enough to not want it. I know the best option would...

Hi, Looking for a drivers side rear tailgate light (non LED) to replace mine which has constant moisture/condensation. Would be open to a pair of halogen 6 or 6.1 rear lights. Thanks, Matt

Hi I've brought some led rear lights from eBay I've read on here that I'll need to do some extra wiring for both sides to work, is there a link to how to do it and are they just plug n play otherwise?

Hi, We got a pop top installed on our T6 and when we got the van back the tailgate wouldn't open from the outside. It seems they have damaged the cable for the tailgate opening mechanism while installing the pop top. It's now all carpeted up. How easy is it to now get at that cable? Any...

Hi all, Bought a T6 6 months ago, been well looked after full history etc, mega happy with it until i noticed this and now can not unsee it, the tailgate isn’t centrally aligned to the van, I've taken it to a mechanic to have a look and he said there is not much they can do. Im not convinced...

(Started a new thread as seems to be a different issue than others reported) Over 2 to 3 weeks, tailgate latch stopped responding to remote. Initially it would respond if bottom of tailgate was pushed in hard, but that doesn't happen now. So it looks like a poor connection, it acts as if it...

I have a 2018 Caravelle and have an issue with the closing of the tailgate. It is power closing with soft latch. When i bought it the soft latch wasn’t working so it closed but ratted. Have had this repaired but it doesn’t line up properly with the rest of the bodywork, like the whole...
