Hi, first post on the forum, be gentle lol.
It was this thread that got me into the T6 Forum. I have recently bought an early T6 Kombi Highline that I intend to modify over time into a multi purpose vehicle, one of those purposes being a day van, capable of being used as a short stay camper (2-3 nights max), mainly when I am travelling for work or where it is not worth dragging the caravan. I'm planning to keep the van for quite some time.
The first modification I am going to do is fit a diesel air heater and especially like the OEM duct work.
From the first page of the thread I thought this is fantastic and not as hard as I had thought, however reading on, page 36 and counting, I can see it is not so straightforward. Many combinations of part numbers etc.
I would like to become self sufficient with part numbers etc. and not to ask folks questions that they have been asked many times before.
My main aim is two fold:
OEM style heater installation (independent control though)
Commence replacement of light gray plastics with anthracite/black plastics (will start with B pillars and then work forward over time)
I have a TPS account and they are usually quite helpful, albeit they need some persuasion if I can't give them a reg/chassis number. I think I will be ok if I give them VW part numbers though and hence my anxiety with this as I don't want to mess them around for a one off.
My research leads me to believe that the T6 is fitted with Eberspacher heaters from the factory but I am open to other heater makes.
I have not considered where to mount the leisure battery yet, however I do like the idea of something like an Ecoflow DELTA 2 which combines solar charging, vehicle charging, built in inverter, 12v output etc.
I'd appreciate a steer on the anthracite plastic part numbers for the B pillars.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Chris
