Hi All,
New member in the South East of Ireland, thanks for the membership. Been a long time reading some excellent info and recently got delivery of my Pure Grey LWB DSG 204 Highline panel van. Plan is to do a stealth conversion for weekends away fishing over however long it takes (hard to say with the number of options out there!). Ordered the van in Oct 22 with a few extras including 4Motion which VW advised they couldn't provide in April. Options I did get were rubber floor in load area & carpet in cab / auxilliary battery / removable towbar / LED lights / rear view camera / partition delete / rear doors glass & wipers + roof rail prep.
Already did a few bits, Climair wind deflectors, rubber door seals & dash trim, partition & rear door blackout curtains, smoked side repeaters, bumper protection trim and have just finishing sound deadening the load area (except the floor). Hope to get thermo liner, insulation & carpet in load area next and then look at black wheel arch and side trims. Longer term plan is sound deaden the cab and then a swamper look with wheels and tyres. I see a suspension upgrade in there somewhere but there's a lot to do first.

All very exciting - its our first proper van to camper and, having 5 dogs between us, it will take some planning .
Best to all,

Hey,

Previously owned an 04 T5 around 2008. Had an 02 T4 in 2017/18. Been driving a Vivaro for 6 years, it’s done well, can’t believe it’s taken me this long to kill it !
Looking to buy a T6, Euro 5, to avoid the Adblue. Fancy a 140PS, but they seen pretty scarce. Might have to make do with a 102, but after driving a six speed for 6 years, it’ll feel like a bit of a step back.
Just perusing currently, gaining knowledge and useful info. Sure I’ll have questions incoming, but I can use a search bar.

Cheers,

Monty

Hi All, Newbie here I’ve just picked up a LWB Kombi ex SHB van. Plenty of work ahead to get it something like but really keen to get stuck in. I’m sure I’ll be regularly using all the info and help on this forum along the way. Cheers Gaz

Hi, All in the T6 Forum,

My name is Tony, I'm new to the forum, and I am just starting a T6.1 panel van conversion: some professional installations (Bed, Pop Top, etc.), and some DIY.

Cheers. Tony

Hi Tony! Good to have another west Midlander! You've certainly come to the right place for advice help and naturally banter! We all look forward to photos as you progress, 'people like photos'!!

Hi,

Just joined the forum as the content looks to be very useful and many with knowledgable members. I collect my T6 next week and I'm sure I'll be asking questions (hopefully not too obvious ones that the search bar can answer - but I'm a first time T6 owner!). The tips on insurance have already provided good leads - thanks! It's a 2018 Camper King St Tropez conversion ... T30 1968 diesel DSG.

Cheers, Colin

I’ve been looking admiringly at T6s for ages now, waiting for what I think will be the right one to turn up!

I signed up a while back but never posted, but i'm here now

From 2017-2023 I had a 2017 T28 LWB 150PS DSG which i recently sold.
My new 2023 T32 LWB 204PS DSG arrived in late July after an 18 month wait and a couple of price increases but very pleased with it now.

It's used as a daily driver and for transporting model planes, i've had the back kitted out by Unique Vans in St Neots, i'll post some photos in the gallery section later.

It's been into LV for front the kit, windows, 40mm lowering and the wheels

Must say it doesn't feel any quicker than my old T6 150PS DSG but the wheels and time delayed throttle probably have a lot to do with that!!!

Welcome on board, that’s a great looker

Evening all.

Been lurking around here for a while as a non-member and I've finally registered.

I can't begin to say how grateful I am to everyone in making this forum such a fantastic resource and knowledge base for everything Transporter.
If it weren't for you guys, I'd still be driving around with a disconnected rain/light sensor! The horror!

Hopefully now I can start to give a bit back, even though I'm fairly new to the game.

Cheers

Hi to everyone...
I was a member of this forum years ago and pre owned a T5 customized commercial Transporter for daily and vacation use. Since a few weeks I am the owner of a T6.1 Cali Ocean... Happy to have one, now that it's been retired from market.

Hi all, I think I missed a trick here as have been a member for over a year and been really enjoying all the great info and posts on the forum but, wasn’t sure how to become a member of Team ex RAC or Team Bright Orange so hopefully I am in the right place?
