Hello, Bought a camper earlier this year and it came with a duff flexi solar panel - it had been perimeter sealed so likely overheated within its first summer. Last weekend I bit the bullet and worked/prized it off... And sat the new 200w fixed frames in place. I didn't like how they...

Hello all, I’ve had my transporter a year now (bamboo green swb shuttle t6) and now started trying to improve things. I’ve fitted an alpine head unit and the alpine front door speakers and tweeters. Next up is an amp and sub, already have the under seat sub but … I’ve got a few connectors and...

Can anyone shed any light please on this error code P011100 Air intake temperature sensor1? (2017 2.0 CXGB) I have reset the management light and it stays off for 3-5 days then its back on again. When the eml is on it still drives absolutely fine with no noticeable difference at all. I have...

Looking for help, I bought a 2018 T6 and have had the barn doors replaced with a tailgate. However..... the autoelectrician is struggling to get the correct feed for the tailgate handle. He tells me that a specific feed is required to be powered for just 10s or so and no matter how much he...

Im having a proper as to where my wipers intermittently have a mind of their own. Only some journeys when in the off position they wont knock off. When happening they go on every 18 seconds and this doesn’t change when altering the timer. Took it back to the second hand dealer and he’s basically...

I've had the bulb warning light go off on my 2016 T6 Caravelle. Had a look and I beleive it is the driver side daytime running light (it's the area marked in red on the attached photo). I ordered a new bulb and had ten minutes free this afternoon to try and replace it, an hour later I hadn't got...

Hi, I’m wanting to add the Fiamma f45s LED strip to my sun canopy. Link here I want it to be nice and neat, so no wires on show and controlled by either a hidden switch in a cupboard or via a remote control. Doing a little research I think it comes with a 12v cigarette lighter. My question is...

Hi all I have a Roamer 120ah lithium battery installed under the drivers seat with two charging options - the first is a Victron charger connected to my mains hookup, and the second is the ABSO 50ah DC-DC charger connected to a solar panel and the starter battery. The Victron charger works...

Hi all and thanks in advance for any comments/info! I was hoping someone could give me an idea of if we've nailed the core components of the electrical system for what we want it for, and give me a ballpark idea of paying to have it fitted, so I can decide whether to do that or to do some/all...

Hello everyone! Just wondering how to go about adding an inverter to our T6. Current setup has Victron Orion tr-smart DC/DC converter and a solar charge controller connected to leisure battery, usual EHU connected to fused consumer unit with Sargent PF200 switching Battery Charger and two...

Hi All, I purchased VW Tiguan from a Main Dealer a couple of years ago. Fast forward to today, last week the Electric Tailgate Button (the button to close the boot) stopped working. I sent the car to my local VW for inspection and they found a build up of water in the Tailgate which has cause...

Can’t find a similar thread so here goes. Was driving along and after just after gong over a speed bump (might be unconnected) my abs and tpm lights came on and all my doors unlocked. As I drove along maybe another 200 metres the van just died. It won’t restart, won’t lock using the fob, and...

Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone has had the pleasure of fitting one of these vacuum units before? Mine took a knock after a bump, i thought it was OK but it causes an error after a drive. I have got a new one from VW but was wondering if they are OK to do or if can give me any advice on the...

Does anyone know if there is a plate I can get to secure a lithium battery under the seat? Or is it best to just use a luggage strap and tie down points? I’ve seen the kiravans type ones but they rely on the battery having a ridge at the bottom to fix to.

Hi all, I am a proud owner of a VW T6.1 Transporter and it is currently being fully converted into a campervan!!! Ran into an issue on installing a double swivel for passenger seat. It has seat belt and occupancy sensors fitted. I understand it is likely linked to the airbag engagement system...

Super Easy to install. The groves on the the roof allow air to travel through and massively reduces lift on the panel. Had it on for a couple months now, no chance of coming off.

Hello T6 Peeps. I've got a 2018 T6 with OEM LED headlights which are amazing, Only issue is the NS light seems to dim every now and then for a second before returning to full brightness. Any ideas? Not a problem for me but could appear like you're flashing your lights at other road users.

Hello all Really appreciate the help I've been getting recently but I have another question. I've been doing a lot of reading but seem to come across different answers, I'm trying to work out which size cable to use from starter to dcc50s to lithium to fuse and also to earth? Some say 16mm2...

Hi, I'm currently converting my first camper and want to hear people's experiences of whether they did a DIY job or got a professional to do it :) I have some wiring experience and pretty good at following a you tube video but not sure if it will just fry my brain (no pun intended lol). I am...

Hi all, First post, and I need some electrical help, excuse the length of this, but I'm way out of my depth! I have a 2018 leighton vans converted kombi. It has interior led celing lights with switches for front and rear , as well as lights in the tailgate that come on when it opens. At...
