Hi all. I have been looking to purchase a T5.1 or T6 to convert into a day van/camper. I have found a van I like the look of: LWB, 4motion, 150ps, £13,000, manual, T32. Only concern is mileage at 120,000 - thereabouts. I was just hoping I could get some advice as to how many more miles I can...

Hi All, So here is the background info: T6.1, 60mm lowered by the good folks at CRS with H& R adjustable kit. I am now looking to change my wheels (currently have 20" with usual 275,40 tyre choice as was fitted). I am looking at the a set of Riviera RF5 (linked here), however the size...

Hi mate what kit was supplied by crs and how low have got it set ?

Hello had an unpleasant banging noise driver front, took down to a local chain garage (which I've had good experience with before to be fair), to be shown the broken piece of coil spring. Fair enough. I was then advised that because the van is lowered and the springs are not OEM, all 4 would...

After a bit of advice/help please, as my new to me T6.1 T32 Kombi DSG 4motion came with 275/40/20's all round (not sure how much it has been lowered but maybe 40mm ?). Looking at the wheels there are 9" front and 10" rear. Would I be ok going with 245/45/20 front and 275/40/20 rear 103 load...

Took my 2023 T6.1 transport t28 to get 2 rear tyres. They informed me both rear lowering spring were broken. Had van from new, only 9500 miles. Decided to go for Eibach sport comfort springs 30mm -50mm. Has anyone had these fitted, I have had a recommendation they are good. Currently my van is...

Diameter (and hence gearing), the various dimensions of the tyre and material hysteresis, intertia, frictional losses, even aerodynamics. A of factors at play, some quite significant.

Hi guys. Relatively new member here. I’m after advice about lowering my van. I have a 2022 t6.1 kombi. It will mostly be an empty van apart from camping trips away and fishing tackle here and there. I would like to lower it but after spending so much recently I can’t justify £1500 on coil over...

Hi folks! This is my VW T6 LWB (previously used as taxi) with max weight of 3000kg. As converted to camper, it is an empty weight of 2350kg ish and has a Reimo 3000 couch on rail installed. (Oh it's a TSI petrol) Normally , it is pretty high on its wheels as you can see. I am not disturbed by...

Does anyone have advice for the best place in Gloucestershire to have modifications done to a T6.1. Looking to lower and fit bodykit etc.

Hi all. Brand new to this forum lark so bear with me. Has anyone come across this problem before. The pinch latches on the rear slide window has jammed making it impossible to open the window. It's stuck fast and it will feature prominently in my call to the dealers tomorrow! Only picked it up...

I am looking for advice about lowering a T32 LWB with 20 wheels. I like the appearance of the wheels filling the wheel arch space but I am not sure how to go about this. There seem to be lots of different kits online but I don’t seem to be able to find a garage that offers this locally who I...

Hi, I am running a Startline converted to a camper. When I bought the van the front bumper including the lower grill had been sprayed candy white. This hasn’t been done very well and paint is starting to flake off (see image). I was thinking about buying a highline bumper, adding the sport line...

I dunno, I am sure I read some text somewhere from yourselves about lowering beyond 70mm and compromising the geometry beyond what its designed to do and that's what I'm feeling when driving it around. Its not a problem with the damper, it doesn't bottom out, its not crashy, I don't feel any...

Hi all,. My van was originally from solop vans and they put lowering springs on by default. The front passenger side has broken. What is my best option.. I doubt I can buy 1. X lowering springs, even if I find out the manufacturer.. also other springs look in poor condition. Cheap...
