TDI Badge letters on tailgate..

[KevTwopines]

Hi Folks,

Please can someone help, looking for the correct TDI letter placement measurements for the tailgate on a 2010 T5.1?

Also.. not sure it's possible to buy the genuine TDI (with red D & red I) anymore without spending loads. So is anyone able to measure the gaps between the letters for me, so that I can reattach my letters correctly spaced and in correct location using some double sided tape?

Thanks peeps.

FYI the red letters varied depending on the power output of the engine. IIRC the base 82/110 hp engine didn’t have any red letters, the 150 had a red “I” & the biturbo had a red d&i. So if you’re looking to keep it stock, you need the right combo for your van.
Or I might have just dreamed it & what I’ve just written could be complete bo110x

Broadly speaking your correct- the more red, the higher the output.

Have the letters that were removed for paint this week, just need to re-apply, cost and availability are the main drivers.

Just reaching out here hoping someone may have noted the correct mm spacing between each letter & proper placement position on the tailgate.

Thanks

can't help with the question but got me thinking that mine came de-badged so no TDI or Transporter. It appears it was ordered that way at manufacture, is that just down to it being an option and personal preferences?

Yeah , ours never came with TDI either ...(but ours is a poverty spec so I suppose where lucky it came with wheels!)

Are they not optional extras

There is a guide available in the downloads but these are only available to VIP members

The ones with upright letters are availablenon Amazon, quite inexpensive, and come with a spacer. Not seen any of the later ones with the slightly slanted letters yet.

Is it worth being VIP? Might five it a go.

Wondered if these were identical to VW's?

I used the VIP for downloads of wiring diagrams loads.

I’ve been a member for 5 years now and tbh I don’t use many of the benefits available only to VIP members but still happy to pay (what’s basically a couple of pints worth) in case needed and as it supports the many aspects of the forum that albeit are free but wouldn’t be as well resourced without the info available. There is loads of workshop manuals etc available

They appear to be.

Seems a good idea then I think! Cheers

I ordered mine de-badged.

Aren’t these actually all dealer fit?

Don't think so - de-badging is a no-cost factory option.

The transporter bit maybe but the t32 and tdi badges I think are

You could be right - I ticked the de-badge option and it came with neither. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
