retrofit

***Follow this guide at your own risk*** Just mind-dumping after collecting a whole load of research which will leave my feeble brain if I don't write it down: This applies to a very niche application, which is retrofitting MFSW to a EUR5 T6 (one of the earliest ones). It does not cover cruise...

Hello all I possibly, maybe, could be having a T6.1 built for me around week 40 2023 (ish) that I ordered in Sep 2021 Due to wanting to add a couple of bits to it post-order (things I couldn't retrofit), I've 'lost' some other bits I originally ordered on it:- electric tailgate rear parking...

My 2018 highline van is fitted with the radar on the front grill which and I just assumed it was for adaptive cruise control. I’ve tested the cruise control and it has buttons on steering wheel to set clear and turn on, off and while it works it certainly doesn’t slow down when catching up with...

My van, a Startline, doesn't have it. How to retrofit? Do I buy the TPMS units for each tyre, buy some kind of bluetooth receiver and then code?

Anyone added some cheapo, switched acoustic ones? I generally don't need the front ones but occasionally they would be useful. Getting the proper ones is quite far down the list of things I need atm. Wondering if there is a super cheap interim solution. Seen loads of kits but not quite sure if...

Hi. I know this has been discussed a million times but does anyone have the part numbers for the black caravelle or shuttle door cards for a t6.1 2020? Thanks in advance!

Hi, Looking to replace my 2018 T6 rear lights (halogen) with OEM T6.1 rear lights (halogen), does anyone know if it’s a straight swap (e.g. matching connectors, no coding etc…)? I’m not looking for the LED conversion just a straight swap if possible. Anyone have experience/knowledge? Tried...

Hi, I want to retrofit the auto headlights feature to my t6.1 startline. From reading the only other post I can find in this forum about it, it seems the people who have tried just changing the headlight switching module (like you needed to do on the t6) to one which includes the auto function...

Hello everyone has anyone retrofitted Xenon or LED headlights to their vans and have fitted the front and rear level sensors plus associated wiring. The real level sensor does the cable for this run under the van from rear to front or does it enter the van via a grommet somewhere and travel...

Hey all Looking at fitting a camera to the caravelle Any recommendations out there. I have come across this one...

Hi all, Apologies if this has already been covered but I have searched the forum and cannot find the information I am looking for. I am about to convert a 2013 T5 from barn doors to tailgate. The tailgate is from a sportline and has a heated window and wiper I would like to use. I understand...

Hi Folks I am looking to have if possible a OEM type reverse camera fitted, the ones with lines that move with the steering. Are there any mobile companies that anyone can recommend who can do this. Secondly does anyone know of a way of checking the existing loom in my the tailgate for the...

Hi, I have a 66 ref T6. It’s an ex RAC van and came with power folding mirrors with the switch on the drivers door. I’ve just been through the coding for auto folding on lock using Vcds, but it hasn’t worked. I’ve tried it a few times but they don’t fold on locking. It’s done something as now...

Hi all I have a T6 with heated electric mirrors, does anybody know what genuine parts are required to convert these to power folding, I know the switch on door card needs added, and I'm guess new bases with motors+control modules etc? If anybody had the part numbers would be great. Thanks Phil

Hi, I retrofitted front fog lights and Front&Rear OPS parking sensors on this van. Fog lights work ok, but parking sensors are not displayed on MIB unit, only a black image appears when you press parking buton or when you engage reverse gear. I checked all codings/adaptations, seems in order...

Hiya folks! A while ago my van developed a sticky front Caliper and with the distance needed to travel back home from where I was, I knew that the discs and pads would likely need replacing along with the Caliper. With that in mind, I realised it wouldn’t be too much more to replace the rest...

My van has a front sensor so would like to try and enable the adaptive cruise control. Could anyone recommend a obd2 /vag(?) Interface that I can use to change the settings, preferably cheaper the better lol

I’m thinking of converting my van to have auto folding mirrors. They presently fold on the drivers door switch only. I’m familiar with the possible options for achieving this but need confirmation of the MY number. I think (being 66 registered 26/9/2016) it’s MY17 and requires hardware. Can...

Hi guys, Im finally a Transporter owner as of last week after wanting one since I was about 15! After picking up my 2021 plate T6.1 from Manchester last week, on the 200 mile drive back down to Somerset I noticed how dark it was in the cab compared to my other drive, an Audi A3. I have been...

Hi there, I have a rimless mirror (7E0 857 511 G 9B9) for a T6 (and not a T6.1!) which I bought new, by mistake, for my T6.1. It won't work in the 6.1 because of the different can-bus protocols in the two variants - but it will work if you have a T6! Included is the bezel with the hole for the...
