2010 T5.1 I have recently converted my 7 pin towbar socket to 13 pin to enable me to tow a new caravan, before now I have only towed trailers with convention tungsten lighting. With the caravan now hooked up, the van will show a lamp failure warning on the dash, my guess this is almost certainly...

I’ve just had a tow bar and dedicated wiring harness fitted to a 2017 kombi van. Can anyone tell me please if there is a light on the dashboard or an audible signal indicating that a trailer/caravan is connected. I thought maybe an indicator light might of been visible when in use?

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations please for a company or fitter to install a detachable or foldaway tow bar to a 19 t6 converted swb, ideally Hertfordshire area but will travel pretty much anywhere for the best job. I'm seeing mention of PF Jones (and also the occasional trouble trying...

Hi Don't normally post stuff, however after some assistance, had a new t6.1 back in March with tow prep, just had a towbar and the electics fitted. Now I have just contacted the local steelers VW @ Indian queens to enquire about having the van coded, only to be told that I needed a special...

Hi Just started on the conversion project - first task to swap the single seat in the front for a double on a kirivans swivel base. Single seat out no problem. First problem I noticed - not enough bolts for the new double seat - but think I've got that sorted. Next problem (sorry...

Hi, Can not figure out how the final connector on my bus are supposed to be configured. Tried and follow the westfalia instructions but it looks like I should connect wire bk/ye to pin 1. As I read it its the bk/ye wire from the tow hook going into the van connector pin1. However that...

Just connected caravan to van and have no brake lights or left hand indicator on caravan. Lights on van all ok, but same thing occurs when I attach bike rack with trailboard so figuring that issue is on van not caravan. I have checked the three 15A fuses in the engine bay and they all seem...

I've just replaced my tow trust fixed tow bar that was on the van when I bought it with a Westfalia detachable. Bought a tow bar bike carrier yesterday and plugged the electrics in. All the lights work as expected, but the reversing sensors still trigger and there isn't a picture of trailer on...

Hello all, My panel van that is currently away being converted has a tow bar but no electrical connection for it. The plan is to get it wired in at a later date but I'm now wondering where the electrics for the tow bar would plug into the rest of the van and if they'll be accessible after the...

has everyone gone for the full vw wiring loom for the westfalia or the cheaper option which isn’t coded. What’s the differences please. Had just a standard fixed on my last t5 which wasn’t coded and was fine. Going on a T6 Kombi to pull a caravan. Cheers

Hi, I fitted my towbar ages ago (easy bit!) and have just ordered the 13 pin Westfalia electrics kit to finish off the job. This is a two part kit - firstly, the main 13 pin loom and secondly, the separate ignition switched live loom for the 12v auxiliary (fridge etc in the trailer). This...

Started sound deadening my van yesterday and seen this lot of wiring, can anyone give a little break down of it? Just being curious. Thanks

Calling all T6 electrics gurus!! My 2016 Kombi had non OEM towing electrics installed before I became the owner of the vehicle, I don't know by who or when, but it's got a 13 pin socket under the rear bumper and a couple of little boxes under the passenger seat. It didn't have a tow ball on...

Hi, I have a towbar wiring questions, The three wires that connect into the fuse holder under the passenger seat are they permanent lives ? Thanks Stuart

Guys, I've recently fitted a pf Jones vehicle specific wiring kit for my T6 tow bar. Just been told by the dealer you need a vw wiring loom only to get the parking sensors to disable automatically. Anyone know if this is true? Cheers Paul

My van has a PFjones intergrated wiring kit and it's been fine for 18months. I brought a brand new Brian James car trailer and decided to change the side marker bulbs to LED ones (cheap from China). After about 30mins, both LED bulbs had blown. I replace them quickly with the original bulbs and...
