Hi I have a old 2008 t5, I would really like the soft close I drive a lot of people that don’t know how hard you need to close it. I read it’s possible on the the t5.1 with a lot of time and money. Is the t5 too old? Or is there a aftermarket soft close you could buy?

Hi Pauly Good to read your post about the soft close kits great idea making the kits. I would be interested in purchasing a tailgate soft close kit for my t6.1 which already has soft close on both sliding doors

Is this an easy job? DIY or does it need coding? For those that have it - any issues or regrets? I am trying to engineer out all of the annoying things from current van in the new build and having to slam the sliding door in the middle of the night is definitely one of them!

There is no mounting bracket? You remove the existing striker and use those bolt holes to install the soft close module. As for fitting, looks like you may need to remove the heater to get access. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/power-latching-retrofit-kits.1584/post-69397

Yep again! Post #17 of this very thread includes a video of them in action on a T6 https://www.t6forum.com/threads/front-door-soft-close-power-latching-retrofit.14781/post-224002

Well! every day's a school day. I even replied to that very thread:rolleyes:

@Robert now @Evgeni doesn't seem to be active on here any ideas where I can get a soft close retrofit kit for a T6.1?

Hi @eugene I know this is an old post but did you ever complete these retrofit? I have all the parts needed from a caravelle but could do with some advice on wiring / pin outs. Thank you

Mine has electric sliding doors, I think they were standard on the executive model. Manual tailgate but with soft close which is very nice. Mine has ACC now, but previously didn't - I had to get it retrofitted. The primary reason I went with mine, aside from the LED headlights which are an...

Hello guys, I have retrofitted soft close for tailgate and sliding door, everything work except indicator for sliding door, signal is inverted (display open when is it close, display close when is it open) switch from "classic close" is 1 when door is open and 0 when door is close switch from...

Hi guys Can we pull together a list of available retrofit mods availability and bricks including weather it needs coding or not and if it’s a DIY job or not I know of a company that does a load of stuff retrofits they did my virtual cockpit not cheap close to £2k but a drive in drive out about...

Very nice. I think the original owner of mine deleted electric sliding doors :( Which is a shame. It has everything else; LED lights, sunroof, etc. The 2019 van that we bought new was over £66k list price (heavily discounted though!), so difficult to compare to that!!!

VCDS Hi everyone im after some advice. I've just finished fitting my power tailgate and soft close latch. The tailgate works fine and the power latch works to open the door but it wont pull the door closed. I've now managed to get hold of a ros-tech code reader and it lits a problem with both...

Yes the cables can be run low instead of over the roof but its the link cable from module to motor that would be short I still do these kits so can make LWB versions if your after one https://www.t6forum.com/threads/power-latching-retrofit-kits.1584/

My two pence - if they are factory swivels then, assuming the rest of the van checks out, I’d go for that one. A single non swivel passenger captains chair will set you back around £1000 to retrofit and factory swivels are far superior to any aftermarket swivel plus, they are Uber rare to find...

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

Here is my list if anyone wants to know more about what I have done to my Cali Ocean 2016. I think I will end up with the SF tuning Panamera full kit on it next, but I have to deal with the minor issue of being made redundant and starting up my own business.. as soon as that's out of the way...

New Retrofit Electric Tailgate Kit. Hansshow model. I bough this kit to fit over the Winter to my T6 but no longer own the van. It sold as seen. It is New, Unused and Unfitted. Still in original box. Up for Auction on eBay, as no longer needed. 2 Electric Struts All Cables ECU Control Box...

Can anyone help recommend someone to fit one of these for me please? I've bought the kit from Pauly but it's not something I'd take on myself. I'm in South Bucks. Thank you.

Are you using the supplied soft close in the kufstec kit? Or retrofitted a genuine vw one
