    240v cable separately from 12v (cable route)

    Hi all, I've had a little search in the forum but can't find my answer. Is there a secondly grommet other than the one behind the starter battery? I want to put my 240v hook under the bonnet but someone said mention that the 240v should be keep away from the 12v. I already have a 12v cable...

    [Resolved] Help please T30 will not start - corroded main engine ground strap

    Battery fully charged reads 13.7v after 10 seconds with a heavy duty discharge tester the battery still reads 12.4v and the tester says it is in the green. (The battery was disconnected from the vehicle for this test). My feeling is that the battery is fine but that there is something wrong...

    T6.1 under bonnet electrics

    So I've been considering adding a BM2 and a CTEK connector to my single battery MY21 T6.1 Caravelle with the thought of possibly mounting the CTEK 10A charger there as a basic 12v only EHU. Lots of folks seem to use the space around the battery like this but mine doesn't seem to have the...

    washing engine: yes or no?

    I have just bought a t6 and the inside and outside are spotless but the engine bay is a disgrace (dusty crap, not oil). will I be safe to give the engine a blast with the pressure washer or is it a bit of a gamble on VWs? I am used to land rovers and when they get dirty there is no problem with...

    Engine degreaser. Any recommendations?

    Ok, so it seems that I have had a massive noddy moment. A month ago I popped a litre of oil in the van to top it up as the MFD had told me to do so (this is quite normal for my van, I have always found it needs a top up in the year it is not serviced with it being on long life). Fast forward...

    Water leaking out of this [A/C drain]

    I've not been using the van much lately, and it can be parked up, sometimes for weeks in a garage. Whenever i do use it though, there always seems to be quite a lot of clear water where the van has been standing- usually below the front bumper area. I've always assumed that the underside of...

    T6.1 engine bay cable routing

    Morning. Apologies if this has been asked but tried searching and couldnt find what I was looking for. I’m adding a split charge system and need to get a cable to the engine bay. I’ve seen a vid on a T6 which seems to show an unused grommet under the glove box/next to the starter battery but...

    Victron MPPT under bonnet?

    Anyone have or considered fitting a Victron MPPT under the bonnet? specifically in the battery compartment which in my case is a T6 Caravelle. I’ve done some research, a thread on the Victron community forum states they don’t recommend it due to heat and its IP44 rating but I would argue it can...

    Water dripping from behind glove box

    Water is dripping from behind the glove box on my 2016 T6. I removed the glove box for access and found an unusually large amount of condensation accumulating on the bottom of the HVAC unit. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Anyone know if this loom (Kufatec) will reach the replaced PDC controller or is an extention required? Also if I fit fronts do I need to fit...
