vw t5

Really nice entry into the world of Transporter ownership. I bought this off someone I knew to do a nice swamper project and just having a nice fun project with my boys. So after a few months of said fun, my wife has advised that I need to “get rid of one of those bl@@dy vans” and hence this...

Has any one got a T5 driver door card local to me (Stourbridge) or both passenger and driver door cards in good condition TIA

I'm looking for a T6 kombi, 150 T32 DSG tailgate. £35k!! What if I purchased an early T5 with above specs? Much cheaper. I'm going to upgrade front with more stylish aggressive front anyway. New wheels with air suspension. I maybe talking 2012. Find the lowest mileage T5. I'm not wanting to...

Afternoon all, I know this is a T6 forum, and my question is about a T5, but you guys are so much friendlier on here...... I bought a 2011 T5 LWB (170k) day van at the end of last year with the intention of doing a camper conversion on it myself. Life has taken over and I no longer have time...

Hi eweryone! Can anybody help? I have retrofitted cruise control and H7+H1 Caravelle lights to my T5. Does anybody have adaptation lists for control modules on these old machines to turn on cc and change light settings? I have Autocom in use, but it doesnt show adaptation list... Last year...

Hi guys, I’m new to the forum but I thought this might be a good place to ask some questions regarding my Transporters strange hard start problem. I’ve had 3 separate mechanics look at this for me and it’s left them scratching their heads. Okay so it’s a 2007 T5 Transporter T30 2.5 TDI. After a...

Hi all, very new to the world of - ahem T5s - and T6s! (T5 question - can't find a T5 forum online?) Looking at buying a 2010 Caravelle with what I have come to learn is the dreaded BiTDI, with the potential EGR cooler valve problems. It has done just over 110k. Might the problem have been...

Hi, Just purchased T5 Kombi and very happy so far (see photo below) only issue being there is a very strong smell of diesel coming from the inside of the cab. The previous owner very vaguely said it had been used for transporting quads etc (so there must have been other similar type engines...

Wondering whether I could cannibalise my existing T5 folding bench to convert a standard T6 bench to folding? Will the mechnism and any other required parts fit?

Well I had a passat but not very practical and I was vanless, which is not cool. So I bought this little beauty! 2.5 , AC, Sunroof! Tailgate. Gonna jazz it up a bit

Good day I was hoping to find some help here, since local mechanics are not making headway. Friend of mine recently bought a 2012 Transporter T5 with 200k Km on the clock. He did some long trips since then and all was good. On his last trip hope the glow plug indicator started flashing and...

Hello! I'm looking for some help finding the pr code sticker location on a T5 I have a 2004 2.5L Exec spec that I've brought from Europe to Canada. Cue to the pandemic and I'm having even more trouble than normal identifying and ordering parts from the UK. I have been searching for the PR code...

Good afternoon all. Hopefully this should be a simple question for those in the know. Since completing a long journey on Thursday, I can hear a rubbing noise coming from what sounds like underneath the front nearside of the van. It's only present with the van under load i.e. it's silent when...
