tailgate

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...

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 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...

I was considering fitting mud flaps all round on my kombi, but I don't like the idea of drilling the rear valance/bumper to fit the rears. Are there any alternatives to the standard fit type?
