Hi all. I have another couple of questions - 1. The main cable loom from carsystems.pl has one white wire going from the 3 control unit connectors (see photo). What is the purpose of this white cable and where does it connect to? 2. There is also a second smaller loom with 4 pin connector that...

Hello all, I’ve got a T6.1 with soft close sliding doors, and was wondering if any of you clever people have done an electric tailgate conversion, if so be very grateful for information on how and where you sourced the kit from and cost Cheers Neil

Thinking of some stainless bars myself, not sure what roof bars to get (probably black. chrome will just be too much for me), bumper protector also (as i actually use my van for heavy duty applications as well) - Want to kit out with some 'go away stuff', blck out blinds etc. Looking forward to...

Unfortunately not. I had both and that was not much help although some savings on the overall retrofit cost.

I'm just trying to piece together the last part of my retrofit. The parking sensors..... They are connected now but don't seem to be communicating with the tailgate module. I'd be eternally grateful if anybody with factory fitted electric tailgate and access to VCDS could provide me with the...

OK the story so far, got retrofit kit from china $500 inc shipping, replaced original hinges with electric tailgate version this has helped the tailgate open better, no difference to the closing (as suggested) however this did allow me to add extra weight to the tailgate thinking this would help...

Yes, I worked that out, at the moment it will open ok and not close but think this is down to the weight of the tailgate, but if I add more weight to the tailgate it shuts ok but won't open...

Electric tailgate hinges are very important element of this retrofit for tailgate opening but they have no effect on the closing of the tailgate.

or an the Chinese kit seems to work and fit without modification, but not consistent at the moment not sure if it's down to the incorrect hinges or the lightweight tailgate not having glass or a wiper motor as it opens ok but doesn't quite close consistently......... watch this space

Bloody Volkswagen, they really did their homework properly to make sure that electric tailgate retrofit is not going to be possible with non electric (7E0) tailgate. There is literally few extra mm of space required to accommodate electric drives (struts/rams). There might be other ways to...
