Hi Everyone, Hope your all enjoying the BH weekend. Just after some advice….again…. I’ve recently had the van lowered with new standard shocks and some 30mm lowering springs, Eibach I believe. The van is running 17 inch VW Alloys. I do find it’s pretty firm at the moment so until I save for...

New to the group, just purchased a T6 -T32 Kombi hi-line 204 dgs , converted by explorer from new . first job on my list is to get it lowered . I have been reading and looking at what people have been putting about things . I am after about a 70 mm drop , and the van is fitted with 20''...

Did you manage to find a solution for this please? My situation is exactly the same as yours

Can anybody recommend or advise on choice of coil springs on the rear of my T30 transporter T6. I just had a failed MOT for broken spring (on furniture/driver side). This was spotted at only 31k miles. I would like to upgrade the springs. I do not want to lower the ride, but i would like to...

Hi all, this is slightly different to the other threads on similar issue cutting out at lower gears/revs. I've got a T6 T28 102 SWB on a 67 plate. The van keeps cutting out at low revs in particular 1st and 2nd and now started doing it in neutral and reverse. Engine cuts out with loss of power...

If you have the factory fit AGM battery and you've been regularly running loads as heavy as a domestic kettle off it via an inverter then most likely it's been damaged by being regularly discharged below 50% Have you had times when the battery has been below 12v at rest? Add some pictures of...

If you run a more premium tyre at a more suitable width and size for the Transporter’s steering, 20” are fine. My van originally came with 275/40r20 tyres that, although new, were cheap, hard, and heavy. I invested in changing out the suspension for a coil over setup and realised that 275 width...

Ah yes we drive southport and surrounding a lot anyway so will give a 👋 if i see the van Here she is... blank canvas atm got a lot of ideas to add to it. Probably starting with a change in coilovers and then lowering and then god knows but exciting non the less.

Hi all. Please could I get some advice on my broken wing mirror casing. The upper and lower casing on my drivers side have been smashed and fallen off in a collision with an oncoming van with a large wing mirror. What I am left with is shown in the picture. I have ordered replacement upper...

Hi all, so I’m due to collect my “new to me” first ever t6 on Friday!! Need to look into insurance and I’m wondering if I’ll be asked how much it’s been lowered when I say it has been. It’s from a car dealership who don’t know how much previous owner lowered it, it’s got coil overs is as much as...

Hi, I find myself in a first world problem of wheel choice. So I orginally want lv3's from leighton vans. However I have since seen some supermetal tridents in silver. Very rare and waiting upon a wheel place to confirm a possible delivery of a set. Now my predicament is i have since...

Hello! I'm about to join the T6 Caravelle club, and the more I look at the practicality and opportunity with these, the more excited I am getting! I am hoping to pick up the vehicle shown below on Saturday. One question I have is whether it looks like its been lowered/whether its the size of the...

Went with Michellin Crossclimate 255/55/18

Some numpty wiped out our wing mirror. I’ve only ordered replacement white upper caps, but I was wondering if I might need a new black lower part? Also is there a good video guide on how to fit the new parts?

Hi, I have a T6 2015 Caravelle which has just failed the MOT on two snapped rear springs. Seeing as these need to be replaced I thought I may as well put some lowered springs on it. I don't want to go daft as I camp a lot, have 5 kids and use a large trailer when we go camping. I was going to...

Hi, I've just joined the T6 Forum after reading many post over the past few weeks (there's so much useful information!). I'm looking to purchase my first van (I currently have a tiny VW Polo so it's a bit of change but I'm 40 this year so it's time!) and would like to feedback on a van/type...

Hello Robbie , fitting Caravelle parts will be a waste of money and not mush better at all . Give us a call and listen to some common sense advice , this part of transporter life is a mine field and a lot of people waste tons of money on sub standard suspension equipment ...

And ordered, it’s I bit lower than I wished for (25mm instead of 35mm), but worth a try. It would be nice to keep the DCC. I’ll leave a post when fitted and tested, thanks for your advice

Yes, I’m talking about the springs. I specifically asked you what to say to the insurance company, you said it’s been lowered. I’m not complaining BTW, Just heads up for other with same insurer.

Apologies for dragging up an old thread but i am looking for new tyres to fit a 4Motion on standard suspension but wish to fill the arches better ( without lowering) as current 255/45/R18 on T6 Sportlines look far too small ( as many on this Forum have agreed). I was trawling the Forum for...
