Hi Pauly, just join the forum.
Recently paid deposit on a new VW 6.1 t30 dsg.
Will be looking for advice and recommendations going forward.
Thanks in advance to all contributors.
Hi all,
New member here! First time member to any forum in fact. After reading from the sidelines for a few months here I am.
I picked up my new T6.1 110ps Highline conversion a couple of months ago and here is. (The kids have named it Bill... no idea why)
Below is a picture of my van.

Hi, due to start driving a t6.1 t28 campervan conv hope this is the right forum. Thank you
Hi there I’m new to the forum.
I own a 2011 T5.1 that I’ve started to facelift to a T6. The front end is complete. I’ve just started with the rear fitting a t6 tailgate. This was from t5 barn doors. It looks like I’m going to need some help with the electrics. But it looks like there’s help at hand on here.

I'm from ZA, South Africa, and I have had many VW's in the family, primarily Golf GTi's and Polo GTI's. I personally am an Alfisti, so I like and drive Alfas. But my family has grown beyond the point of a sedan and an SUV is too small. The next option was a Van, or Kombi as they are called here in ZA. I have the T6 Trendline which comes with a 103kw 2.0 BiTDi diesel engine, 7 speed gearbox and front and rear PDC, cloth interior, 3 row seats(front, middle and rear) multifunction steering wheel, 16" wheels...that's about it.
I'll post pics later. The Kombi has 63000km on and its a 2018 model. I have extended the maintenance plan as well. I have many plans for it but also many concerns.
Concerns:
How reliable are these cars? Hopefully more reliable than my Alfa's?
The DSG gearbox...why does it insist on staying in 2nd gear on pull-off?
Front suspension is very 'crashy' is this normal?
Plans:
Lower about 50mm on coilovers
Fit 20" wheels with 265/40/20 tyres
Fit a full Infinity Kappa series install
Fit an android touch screen with rear view camera
Fit Maxton front spoiler
Fit LED's all round and inside...(need advice on this especially on the interior...where do I get sizes?)
I'm planning to share the build on here as I want to complete the above in 2 to 3 months.
The project will be called BigFam T6

So after years with "normal" estate cars I have taken the switch to a T6 LWB Bitdi 204 Sportline combi, why didnt I do it sooner, its taking its time to adjust from a high performance estate car to the van but still good fun and surprisingly agile lol
The mods have already started with a new set of wheels (Jury still out if they go black/grey or not) and booked in for insulation and sound deadening, so far so good
