Annoyingly, although I ordered the replacement bolts for the lower rear shock and ARB clamps a week ago, the seller has just notified me that they’re only just posting them today, so the van remains in the garage on jack stands unable to be used for a few more days. With this in mind, I’m...

Breaking this out into a separate thread as I was polluting other non/vaguely related threads, and with thanks to @foggy3061 and @Grim Reaper for their contributions on thse threads. The gist of it is that I can only get access to one side at a time at the back due to being in a garage, and the...

I realise that this is probably a blindingly simple job, but before I damage anything please would someone just give me some simple advice on how to remove the windscreen scuttle trim on my T6 camper van. After I remove the wiper arms, how do you release the scuttle? Thanks very much in advance

My kombi is down as a 6 seater on the log book, but has a captains passenger seat instead of a double bench. I sourced a single seat with seatbelt and 4 floor brackets from t4t5parts on ebay and set about fitting it. As much as I wanted to fit it over to one side, it was simply to easy to just...

A little while ago I was chatting to @Pauly and he asked if we would be interested in putting together a thread outlining how to go about lining your own van. Up until recently I have been so busy with work and home stuff that I haven't had a chance to do a thing about it and with another baby...

I'm currently putting a split charge system into my van and am going to mount the battery undercthe passenger seat. Has anyone any photos of how they've secured this? I don't fancy drilling any holes if I can negate it. Regards

Has anyone had any issues when fitting these wind deflectors? I cannot push the clips in far enough to stop them catching on the window. The window also rubs on them when closing but hay may have something to do with not being able to push the clips in properly? Any tips?

Stop/Start doing your head in? Disabling it - How We done It - The start/stop is an interesting topic, some love it - some hate it. The thing is, its a requirement of the T6 EU6 licence as it is used for the consumption figures and especially the CO2 emissions for the registration...

I found a picture that @Skyliner33 Posted to be very useful in allowing me not to break the trim on my rear tailgate wiper cover (as he unfortunately did) Would a thread with pictures of where trim panel clips are around the van be useful to anyone? I'll start with the wiper cover again. Use...

Hi guys, I'm new around here. Just received my first Volkswagen Campervan. It's the T6 California Beach. First thing I did was taking the exterior and interior cockpit trim apart to wrap the van in a two tone color. I got stuck at the rear bumper, I just couldn't seem te get it off. So I...
