What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Texxaco]

Washed it, takes an age but the result makes me smile without fail.

 

[The_Lad]

Replaced my rear tailgate handle fingers crossed no more tailgate full of water

 

[dErZ]

Engine cover from Travelinelite for a T5.1 but fits the T6 with a little trimming. Nothing too difficult.

Gotta get it either sprayed or hydro dipped.

I haven't really noticed any, the best way to reduce engine noise into the van is to sound deaden the scuttle. Helps a lot.

Scuttle???

 

[Bav]

Scuttle???

The bulkhead that separates the engine from the cab (runs under the bonnet across the bottom of windscreen).

 

[Texxaco]

Scuttle???

Look below the windscreen wiper, under the plastic where the wiper motor is, thats the scuttle.

@Texxaco yeas mate they are from a MK8 Golf R.....they are sooooo comfy to sit in compared to the transporter seat.

I'm going to run with them as is for a bit, when i get them retrimmed i'll decided then if i want arm rests fitted.

 

[Texxaco]

Cheers @Pewt what were they like to fit to the Transporter seat bases, did you have to get anything tailored to get them to fit?

 

[Mic71]

Changed the look of the digital cockpit with OBD11

Fitted my sidebars….





They‘re clean, but the rest of the van is minging again after washing it last Sunday

Got the van back. Re-cleaned it after the streaks left innit from the service washb

Replaced the fresh water drain tap but I do need a more permanent solution.

That looks great. Was it easy to do? Do you know if you can push the speed camera from the factory nav to the screen too. I don't have sign recognition but the data from the maps is there I guess.

Gave the interior a long overdue clean! I still need to find something to treat the leather with though. Any recommendations?
