advice

Hopefully scraped enough to money to trade in the car and buy another Transporter. I (stupidly) took advantage of the crazy trade in price of my last T6 in March 2021 - sold to WBAV for £5k more than I’d paid for it 2.5 years earlier. But I’ve regretted it bitterly ever since and I just can’t...

Hello everyone, I've been bitten before when buying a T5 and to be honest I'm so nervous about purchasing vans after that experience, as it rooked me financially when I was in my early 20's. Would anyone be up for reviewing some footage that I've been sent by the dealer? and seeing if there is...

Hey folks, newbie here. Relatively new to the world of vans but completely new to (one day) owning one. I've sold my car to fund a self-build van, semi-conversion for now as I want to have space for MTB and pulling over and camping for long weekends. Ideally after a T6 Highline but trendline...

I have spent the last few days pouring over the information on the forum and am looking for some advice please - I have managed to get two good deals on pre-registered T6.1 Shuttle Vans but cannot decide which one to pick! Both are main dealer vans pre-registered in December to hit targets...

Hi everyone! We are total newbies, to the Forum but also to T6's (although if feels like going back to my roots - we had a T2 camper growing up, and my very first motor was a (devastatingly rusty red/white) 1972 T2). We are looking for a T6 to convert, and really like the notion of twin sliding...

I'm on the lookout for a 4-berth camper that can be used as a car during the day to and from work, only a few miles. VW T6's keep coming up and, although I keep getting told they're pricey and will only depreciate, I can't help but I think they seem ideal. Just wondering if anyone can advise on...

Hi all.. I am looking at buying a new T6 LWB for lighbusiness use initially but primarily with a view to converting to a camper at some point in the future, with regards to the spec, is there anything that is essential or that I should be avoiding/completely unnecessary from a conversion point...

Hello! First of all I hope I am posting in the right place. Apologies if not. Looking into a T6 conversion for my family. We are 4 , 2 adults 2 tweens. First step will be to hire one and see if we like the setup, as soon as BoJo allows of course. Based in Lincolnshire so could anyone recommend...

I sent off to have my Kombi reclassified as a camper today. Started off with the info and sample letter here: Converting a vehicle into a motorhome - GOV.UK and then added in some photos and receipts for the bits / work done. Hopefully it will be back soon and I can drive at car speeds again.

Morning everyone. new on here and looking for advise on replacement alloys for my new T6 Kombi T32. Thought someone could post some pics and maybe advise on which diameter to go for. I have already lowered with Eibach springs 40mm.

I’m looking to get my T6 edition soundproofed insulates and carpeted, after a bit of advice please. Is this a diy job or one best left to the pros? what’s the best soundproofing? Is the silent coat extra thick worth going for? Is it worth ply lining replacing existing panels using the...

Hey! I am looking for a used T6 as a family car. Would love a caravelle but the difference in price of a comparable kombi seems huge so I am looking for some advice and what areas people would recommend compromising in. My major considerations are; three kids in car seats, a dog, lots of...

So this is the year we are finally going to get our long awaited dream van. We're excited but could do with some advice to make sure we get it right. Any tips gratefully accepted!

Hi everyone, I’m looking to take the step into the VW world and purchase a Caravelle as a family vehicle as we’ve outgrown everything else we've had. I’ve seen two that I like, both Exec spec, but one has been pimped a little to give it a slightly different look and lowered by 30mm and put on...

So after a bit of a hiatus due to moving house, I'm back onto my conversion and will be lining the metalwork of my Kombi tomorrow with MVM anthracite & spray adhesive. I think I'm all prepped up now, I've done: Cleaned metalwork with alcohol + hoovered up floor Alu taped over un-required holes...

I've got my eye on a used assured Volkswagen Caravelle Executive 2.0 TDI 150PS SWB with DSG. I really like the looks of it and the only things it doesn't have which I'd like are Sunroof & Toluca Alloys, both of which I can live without. It's got LED headlights, Discovery Media, Parking sensors...
