Newbie Here - Hello!

[Dr. Strangelove]

Hi all,

I’m a recent convert to the world of Transporters and am enjoying it so far! I owned a Mazda Bongo a number of years ago and then had cars subsequently.

I picked up a 2020 Kombi three weeks ago and proceeded to put about 3,500 miles on it through Europe. It didn’t skip a beat, apart from when I decided (for some unknown reason) to fill it with petrol rather than diesel. 6hrs and €830 later I was back on the road!

I’m not going to do too much internally, just change the passenger bench for a Captain’s seat, swap the rear bench for a 1+1+1 setup and then insulate and carpet the rear.

As threads like this are better with pictures, here we go!



Cheers,

Dr. S

Welcome to the forum mate. Hopefully you won't be making the mis-fuelling mistake again!!

Welcome to the forum mate. Hopefully you won't be making the mis-fuelling mistake again!!

Thanks, me too! I think it was stupid and costly enough that I won’t.

I’ve subsequently spent at least 30s quadruple checking that I’m putting diesel in - I think it’ll take me a while to shake the habit!
