What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[t6blo]

What did you go for @t6blo?

@T6ARF
Managed to find a set of new Amarok Canteras (with new 255/55 tyres) that didn't involve me selling a testicle or multiple trips to the sperm bank to jizz in a cup

Will sell the tyres to offset the cost a little

Where did you manage to get them from ? If you don’t mind me asking ?

I don’t seem to have this one mine. I have OEM sliders although I don’t think they have ever been opened that often.

I have OEM on my Cali and haven’t experienced issues. (I know, I have just jinxed myself now!!!) However, I have seen lots of comments on leaky sliders. I don’t use mine in this weather, but find it great when parked up in warm weather, especially when the dogs are in the van! (My precious pair of dogs would happily stay in the van, even when the sliding door was open, if I told them to stay! The pair we have now just look at me as if to say “foxtrot Oscar, we’ll do what we like!!!)

Is that OEM sliding?
May have to try this. Its not terrible but shouldn't be any at all in my opinion.

Yep - OEM Sliding windows in a 2017 Kombi. Roof rails leaked too, but got rid of those as having a pop top fitted in a few weeks (fingers crossed!)

 

[musttriharder]

That’s brilliant! Leaky slider is a common issue I see on the forum. Got any pics? By the way, do you have an original or an aftermarket slider? You must have been chuffed when you tested it and saw it working as it should!!!

Very chuffed! It's a factory Kombi, so I assume they're original, although whether they've been replaced by the previous owner / VW is anyone's guess. I didn't take any pics, but I guess it's another thing to add to the list of leaky window fixes. I've had a few issues with it - been back to dealer 4 times since October to address door seals and gearbox oil leaks

Fitted the cnc aluminium pedals from Leigh @ leighdaviesmachining.com.

They are very good quality and come with everything you need to fit them. Even a bag of Haribo to chomp on whilst you’re fitting them

Picture of them fitted below:

@Texxaco
It’s not perfect and could do with a trim on the lower left only a few mm though.

Thanks perfect, you wouldn’t know about the couple of mm.

Where did you get the footrest from @Ukfozzybear ?

I only took out 3 screws under the glove box struggled to line the panel back up to screw them back in and caused a fault on my airbag. That would give me nightmares

....and then you found the missing quid in the door pocket!!! Actually, that's a really useful reference pic for the forum. Thank you

I'll be writing a post about the process soon

Key thing to watch is making sure you don't reconnect or turn the ignition on whilst the airbag connections are undone or this will cause an issue that has to be cleared by VCDS

 

[dubber36]

No. Where in my post does it say that?

You reply comes over quite rude.

It wasn't intended to be. I suppose it came out more from frustration after trying to word my post so that there was no confusion about what I would like to achieve.
