As a general rule I was told to calculate the current consumption and then take the next size up. This was for three pin mains electric plugs.
I have also heard of people using the 'Engineer's Rule Of Thumb' calculate the size, and double the actual size.
I'm going to be buying and fitting a...
So I'm in the middle of a camper conversion of my 2016 T6 LWB T30.
Been retro fitting OEM parking sensors from carsystems.eu and also fitted a westfalia removable towbar with dedicated wiring without towbar prep. Plus put in reverse camera, RCD360 Pro headunit and a heater under the seat and...

Hi all, I have an ex RAC t6 trendline 4motion. Was stripping out all the old racking and additional cabling yesterday and managed to knock out the rear lights. Obviously there’s no fuse layout supplied by vw so tracing the problem is tricky. Anyone got the layout please?
When we whet camping last week, I plugged our 12v cool box into the middle dash cigarette socket and it instantly blew.
I've just changed the 15a fuse which was blown, but the socket still isn't working.
Are there any other fuses controlling it? I have no fuses under the passenger seat as some...
I've been trying to find a parasitic drain on my T6 stater battery whereby I've been removing fuses and checking the altimeter for drops. I believe I've put a fuse back in the wrong location as now my rear parking sensors aren't working.
Can someone point me to the correct fuse location.
Thanks
I have a 3 year old T6 Edition. The 12V socket inside the small dashboard cupboard appears to be dead. I've looked at the various discussions on here about fuse locations etc. and my van doesn't seem to correspond with anything I've read! I cannot see any fuse box under or around the dash area...
I've got a Sterling ProPowerQ 350W Inverter which the instructions tell me I should install with a 60A fuse, however the cables are 12AWG which I belive equals 3.31mm
3mm cable 33Amp Single Core Thin Wall Cable - 3.0mm² 33A
How can this be right, the fuse is rated so much higher than the...
Can someone tell me if I am thinking clear .In my head from leisure battery to fuse box the midi fuse that I will be fitting is there to protect the cable isn't it .so I'm using 10mm 70amp cable was going to fit 50 amp midi fuse although all items individually come far Below 50 amp they are all...
Hi does anyone know the location of the sliding door side step light fuse ?? Whilst changing the bulbs to LED's I managed to blow the fuse.
Seems I was a bit to eager with my screwdriver !!! Thanks
I have 220 AH of Gel leisure batteries, a 75/15 Victron solar regulator and 200 watt of folding solar panels what inline fuse should I use on the positive side to the batteries, Is 20amp the size fuse that I need?

Hi Guys
My utility 12v plug has blown a fuse by the looks of things. Where is the best place to buy a 20A replacement fuse? I've looked on ebay and Amazon but not really sure.
Thank you

Hi everyone,
I'm choosing fuse boxes whilst waiting for my Roamer SB230 battery to trickle in.
So, I understand the difference between the -ve busbar and -ve to body ground types of fuse boxes; clearly the one with -ve busbar is good for those places where the body is fibreglass or wood - ie...
Hopefully someone can shed some light on my issue, i've no MFD, no power to the radio or windows. van starts but cuts out after 2-3 seconds.
Have checked the 5 amp mini fuse in the lower dash and it seems ok. swapped it with another one and no change. all remaining fuses seem ok
Issues just...
Hello,
I hope someone somewhere can help me! I am very new to car maintenance and it seems I have inadvertently killed my new car.
We bought a 2016 T6 Caravelle a month or so ago. It had had a few modifications done to it, including a remap, a suspension upgrade, and an Alpine ILX-F903D head...
My highbeam won't turn off and also the pass/flash function won't work. I have travellinlite drl headlights fitted which have been working great for the 12 months I've had them. I assumed it was the switch column so got a new one from VW but still not fixed the problem. Travellinlite are getting...
Hi folks. Apologies if the answer to this has already been given. I've had a few searches and not found a great deal.
I'm in the process of installing a DC-DC charge controller (Renogy DCC30S). I've run a couple of 4 AWG cables into the engine bay via the grommetted holes in the passenger wheel...
