My eating plate seems to be blank.
But my suspension looks like this:
Do I have a T28/T30 or T32?

- australia gvw suspension t30 t32
All the Australian ones I've seen are blank for some reason, mine is a T6 and it is blank.
Hi
Wanted to ask some question about my van rating.
I thought my van was T28, because it has the smaller brakes.
And now I am looking to change my front shocks because one is leaking but I found out, looking under my van and on the sticker, that my van is a T30 with a T32 shock?
Is this correct ?
I almost bought a complete wrong suspension for my van

I wish I knew what that reason was. It seems like something is being hidden on purpose are all car manufacturers like that here in Australia or just VW..... I wonder.
My suspension seems to have 2 bolts but it's in a different location than in @Sanyes 's and @JamieCkombiT6 's photos.
So does this look like the T32 suspension to you guys?
I don't really know what I'm looking at.
Not an expert on this, but lately I was looking a lot at suspensions and found out two distinct differences
quote from post #9 from the thread below
"Left side is T26 T28 T30
Right side is T32
If you turn your wheel full lock you should be able to see what you have, on the lower weight versions the shock slides into the mounting"

Yours doesn't look like T32, I think it's the T26-T28-T30 one

H&R Coilovers
Hello! I ordered new Volkswagen Transporter 110kw DSG. And I planned to order H&R coilovers, but I hit the question that there are two different kind of transporters with different mounting strut at the front. How I know which fit to me? Thanks you and regards from Finland

Has anyone with a new van in Australia managed to find a record of their axle load rating?
The GVM is now recorded on the department of Infrastructure website (very convenient!) but that record doesn't include the axle ratings!
I'm trying to get our GVM upgraded from 3,200 to 3430kg, but we need to find the axle ratings!
I've emailed the dealer but I am struggling to comprehend that basic information like this is hidden!
On the van?
Is it stamped on the VIN plate?

That label (at least on Australian vans) now has nothing on it except the VIN and some conspicuously blank spaces that should have the GVM and axle loads.
You have to go to the government website to find the GVM but that doesn't show the axle ratings.
It's insane.
maybe @Pauly can get the original build weight of the VIN?

T28 As A Camper Weight Limit
Big day for Bryan our camper tomorrow. He's due to be weighed and I'm slightly nervious with him being a T28 and a fully loaded camper. I over looked this at the start as always thought it would be more than enough. No roof just yet so all should be fine for now but hoping with only two of us...
.
I know the build weight.
I have all the build codes etc from Erwin. None of that gives the axle load rating explicitly in kg.
We have a 3200kg GVM. Logic says we have the same 1710/1720 axle rating as every other T32 but we need that in writing so we can get an engineer to certify a 3430kg GVM upgrade.

hmm . . . you will need that document from VWCV then?

Yep, that's why I asked the dealer to get the information from VW Aus.
I was just curious if anyone here had found somewhere that it is recorded.
How can they not provide this critical information???
Fingers crossed I'll hear back next week - or else I'll start complaining louder (at the dealer - not here!)

Hey mate, did you end up getting any luck in a response for the GVM?Yep, that's why I asked the dealer to get the information from VW Aus.

I picked up my brand new T6.1 LWB with factory upgraded suspension pack and same issue for me the plate is blank. Dealer couldn't give me a definite answer and said "It seems it's 3000kg" after attaching the spec sheet as a response which doesn't factor in upgraded axel ratings etc.
The GVM is recorded on the Aus Dept of Infrastructure website. https://rav.infrastructure.gov.au
I wish I could say I’m surprised that the dealer didn’t know that! Useless…
Our dealer even got it wrong when they registered our van and we had to get it inspected again just so we could have the rego papers corrected - even though the details are on a government website!
We paid for the 3,200 GVM Factory upgrade when we ordered it. This has a special code on the order - … PG4 = 3200gvm
This is different to the rough road and off-road suspension options that were offered on the VW configurator when we were ordering. We were lucky that our dealer was aware of the GVM code because it wasn’t offered on the customer ordering system. He had to dig out the code from an old email!
The information we could not easily find was the axle ratings - our dealer managed to confirm the rating for us but only in the form of a generic pdf that showed the ratings for our spec vehicle. I also asked VW Australia at the same time but they just told me to ask my dealer! Useless….

Oh wow, you'd think this information would be easy to provide. The fact it is clearly available via a government website and the dealers don't even know this avenue actually doesn't surprise me haha.
Thanks for the info; that helps a lot. I had assumed mine would be the T30 even with the upgraded suspension option fitted. I actually hadn't personally ordered this van, I was looking at a different one and then this popped up at a VW dealership interstate which maybe they had ordered or someone else did ages ago but the sale didn't go through. So I jumped on it straight away being a LWB 4M. It is dated Nov 2023 when hitting the register.
FACTORY SUSPENSION FOR SALE - SOLD
T6.1 "T32" Springs and Dampers - make me an offer.
Located in Canberra, Australia.
Now that we have had our factory 3200gvm "T32" replaced with Seikel raised suspension, we have the original springs and dampers taking up space in the garage.
I nearly left them with the shop (Kombi Life) who did the replacement, but they were just going to send it to scrap metal merchants and I wanted to try and reduce the waste.
We'd done about 28,000kms when they were replaced, so maybe not "new" but certainly in good condition.
I don't know if these fit previous models, but I do know the struts will NOT fit a standard "T30" 3000 GVM van.
Maybe someone has a T32 spec van and needs new dampers?
Sorry if I shouldn't advertise stuff here but it's such a unique offer that there aren't many places to offer it and I'm not asking much money.
