Hi all.
I have a superb Rusty Lee rock and roll bed fitted. As you may know it is fitted using a substantial spreader plate which is bolted to the chassis.
My problem is getting the spare wheel relocated in the drop down carrier and then bolting it up, the gap between the spreader plate and...
I've got some 3mm steel and thought I'd just buy a hub and fab one up.
Is there anyone in the cardiff area with a rear wheel carrier I could look at?
It would make it so much easier to design!
Hey all,
My 2023 T6.1 (LWB 4Motion) came with the optioned code 2MR upgraded suspension.
"Upgraded Suspension, shock absorption and stabilizer bars for Off Road - Perm. Front axle load: 1680kg (regular use) Removal of spare wheel, 1G8 Breakdown Mobility Kit forced"
Is there a way a spare wheel...
Hi All, silly VW arent selling T6.1's with a spare wheel bracket, so they are scarce!
All I can find is a T5 bracket. Will that fit on a T6.1?
Likely I will look to do some adjustments anyway, as I want to fit larger wheel/tyre combo under there ... plenty of threads on that already...
Hi, just bought a Road Hero space saver wheel for a T6.1. Since lowering the van it's impossible to get the original spare wheel out and the space saver saves weight. Problem is the wheel carrier can't be adjusted to take a thinner wheel. Suppliers suggested packing it out, not very useful...
Was on the hunt for a way of mounting my spare on the rear barn doors of my T6.1 and came across Skep Jacquard gear carrying system.

Anyone have this installed on their van? Looks pretty comprehensive with lots of optional modules to...
Hi, I’ve recently picked up a converted t6 van and replaced the standard wheels with 20”. The van didn’t come with a spare. I am looking at picking one up to go in the holder at the rear. Can I go for a standard spare, any recommendations? Will there be an issue that I have 20” alloys on the van...
Hi, I don’t know if anyone has any advice on this. I’ve bought a steel spare wheel size R17 215/60 for my 18plate T6. I’ve fitted it today under the van and it’s been a real faff. I had to jack the bracket up the wheel sits in so it can reach the holes for the nuts. I've had to let some pressure...
Hi folks.
I have a t6 camper van. It has bigger wheels fitted so the spare wheel is larger meaning a towbar would need modified etc. is there any way round this or any kits etc. thank you.
Is there an easy way to get the spare wheel back in its place? Spent an hour this evening strugggling with it on my drive. Eventually used the jack and a hammer! Would be a nightmare at the side of the road!
Hi anyone else had problems releasing bolts on spare wheel carrier. Mine were sized solid and the retaining part came away leaving the bolts to rotate ie couldn't remove and had to cut through bolts. Not much fun at side of road .
Anyone replaced the bolts etc ?
Wanted a standard transporter spare wheel holder. Any condition as long as it isn't bent.
There are a few on eBay which seams expensive, but if nobody else has one I guess I'll have to buy one.
Hi, just seeing if anyone in Australia has come across a swing away spare wheel carrier that integrates with the rear bumper? I have come across a few for other types of vehicles but not transporters. I have a T6 4motion SWB.
