    Spare wheel cowl

    Hi Guys, Happy new year! I’m trying to identify a piece of trim on the underside of my van which in its previous life has been broken. TPS didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. If you kneel at the rear of the van and look underneath, there’s a plastic trim that comes close to the...

    Thin metal cover underneath of t6.1

    Hi all, I hit some flood water a bit fast on Friday and it seems to have damaged part of the underside of my T6.1. There is a piece of thin, flimsy silver metal hanging down. I’m unsure if it’s a heat shield or a protective element. There seems to be a single piece down either side of the...

    Undertray repair/reinforcement

    Hi. Thanks for all the posts on water damage, missing undertray bits etc. Apart from that - have come to the conclusion that the T6 undertrays are just not designed for Australian gravel roads, there's so much damage and they cost a fortune. If you don't care how things look, there might be...

    Underbody guard - hanging down?

    Hi, I've just lowered my van on B14's. Going to drive out for a few days then final adjustments on the coil overs. But there is a huge plastic case thing on the left hand side under the van. It looks like a guard for the fuel tank etc. Has anyone taken this off?

    Undertray MIA!

    Hi all, I’m sure I’m not the only one who has allowed the Undertray to be liberated from the underside of the van during the floods this last year. The last of it finally gave up today and had to remove the sad looking bits that were left! Does anybody happen to have the part number for the...

    Wanted NearSide Front Undertrays

    Hi. Both these undertrays were missing when I bought the van. VW have quoted but I thought I’d see if anyone has these lying around first. Mine’s an early T6 and the part numbers are the same as the T5.1. They’re the ones roughly level with the sliding door on each side. Don’t have to be...
