Hi, hope I’ve posted in the correct section. My van is frying my brain. The interior tailgate realise switch has never worked since I’ve owned it. I thought it was a switch after wiring checks so ordered another and that one was pre opened which also didn’t fix the issue. So got one more...

I have rear 2+1 seats for sale from my Dec 2014 T5.1. They’re in great condition as, although I’ve had the van from new, I’ve only had passengers on a handful of occasions. All floor brackets (which need a clean but are all working) and seat belts included. Removed last year and stored...

Hi everyone, first post on here. I’ve had a look around and can’t quite find the answer I’m looking for. Is it possible to swap everything from the B-pillar forwards (dash, steering wheel, door cards, seats and maybe even headlining) from T6 Multivan into T5.1 Transporter? And if it is...

Does anyone else have an issue with the footwell heating. The heater works fine, blows on all speeds, but when set to warm the footwell, there seems to be more hit or coming out of the dash vents than the footwell vents. Also, I only seem to be able to warm up my right foot, as a cold draught...

Hi everyone. New to the forum but hoping there’s someone with knowledge of the auto sliding doors here. I have a t5.1 high line with auto sliding doors and recently the offside door power button flashes intermittently when driving as if to warn it’s open. It sometimes fails to open then if...

Hi I’ve been fitting a few bits to my new t6 shuttle. The Drivers swivel was simple but the passenger double swivel from custom shop designs is a bit trickier. I’ve got a small fuse box as well as the usual rear lighting plugs under the seat base. I can just about squeeze them under the floor...

Does anybody have a procedure for replacing the alternator on a VW T5,1. I have seen a video of pulling it out through the bottom but this is not really feasible. I have also seen a video with full bumper and radiator removal (Radiator in service positive) which looks a of work to replace an...
