Welcome @Maniol , sorry to hear about your oil leaks. There are a couple of guys here with the ABT kit, make sure you get some pictures of it posted up, and say hi in the Team ABT area of the forum.
As to the gearbox, you may struggle to get the gearbox replaced, but I would definitely push for it to be thoroughly inspected. If nothing else make sure the dealers record this fault on the vehicles file, so that a gearbox issue at a later date can be attributed to this.

Hi , thanks for reply , some pictures attached , i will put some more off inside soon when i get van back
Regards

Hi everyone, I'm picking up my new toy later today. I've gone for the Euro5 140 4Motion Highline SWB in Blackberry. My first job is fitting a removable towbar. From reading posts on here, that is going to be fun but I have the 'Right Connections' kit rather than the Westfalia one so I'm hoping it's not going to be too much of a pain! I'll then be paying someone else to fit side and rear tinted windows so that the hounds get some daylight. Springs and wheels are on the wish list too, but nothing too bling.

Does anyone know if Carista will turn on the trailer function?

Hi all, I didn't see this thread so I'm sorry for not introducing myself earlier!
My van is a 2017 204 dsg highline t32 lwb in blackberry.
Came with towbar prep I've fitted the bar and westfaila electrics kit but the local dealers aren't able to code it apparently they can't find the towbar module under the seat on their computer, it is definitely fitted as I checked the module part number they've tried twice now with no joy - anyone know what's needed or got vcds near Ipswich?
I'm really pleased with the van other than ongoing engine problems which I've posted about previously so won't go into it here.

Hi all
First post to the forum, had my T6 Kombi for around 11 months, blue T32 highline 140.
Modifications to date have been addition of van style roof and side bars, kiravans double seat swivel and home made osb kombi bed (will post some pics when i can figure out how it works!).
Looking for some tech advice... just bought a kiravans table leg which needs attaching to the floor and pillar inside the sliding door... first thought was to drill and self tap for the top bracket but aware that the fuel line is somewhere under this column... does anyone have any experience with this? whats the best way to attach and how much clearance is there behind the column before hitting something critical?

Cheers

 

[jonnysouth]

i think i figured the pics out...

QUESTION: I HAVEN'T GOT VW T6 Engine Cover (velle SE DSG)is that normal? I know it is a bit of plastic but it costs £80, and i am anal about the details! cheers

 

[Pauly]

Someone else with an SE said the same so im guessing its only the execs that get them
If you would like me to check private message me your VRN or VIN number and i will run it through the system and see if it shows on ETKA as a fitted part to your vehicle

Met a bloke at my sailing club today who had brought some kids and boats up for the Optimist Open competition today. Saw him as he was loading up, driving an Indium Grey California Beach 17 plate. Asked if he was on the forum, he told me he was on the VW California Club; told him to look us up and join a decent group. So hopefully I've recruited an Indium Grey California Beach from Newbury. .

Hi all,

This is my first post just wanted to say Hi! I am about to pick up a lwb Kombi 4motion dog one for Team Blackberry. Will post some pictures when I pick it up, it has the elusive comfort dash thing and I think it may be one of the last Blackberry vans produced. Feeling very lucky to get it! Hope its better than my Amarok!!

Funnily enough I mentioned you to him! I said that very close to Newbury was a chap called Roadrunner with a bright yellow Cali Beach - can't miss him.
