What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[asedas]

Fitted new washer nozzles. Nice easy mod...much better

Encouraged by @vwjack I've ordered and fitted today new washers too. Superb mod! however I bought non ori part, and need to send one back (ajustment screw was plastic and broke while adjusting :/). Anyway, better than original jet washers

One remark to the part number :

There its a heater version as well 1 number difference see image

I've checked with local dealer and current part replacement is `5G0 955 986` (5G0 instead of 5M0)

I’ve just had mine delivered today. Hope to fit them this evening

Is it a simple change of washers?

super simple change of washer nozzle ("jet" to "mist")

 

[Srea064]

super simple: 5 mins for not heated, 6 mins heated

How high have you set the spray touch point on the window when stationary?

I've got a set, apparently for a Passat, just waiting to fit them.

Oddly the heated ones can be had cheaper than the unheated ones.

 

[Sackmycook]

Fitted some small decals, nothing much

almost all the way down for now, but have to adjust them later during drive (now it's 1/3 from top of windshield).

I was gonna buy some jets but on closer inspection our old van already has them result !

We got back from our 2 week Euro trip about 3 weeks ago now, and today was the first chance I've had to clean the inside of the van. Feels so much nicer now!

So a successful millionth project on the Van.

I now have a Recoil Di550 Class D amp running Alpine SpC108Ts in the front and their own MX65s fitted to the Rib in the rear. Alongside that i have the JBL Basepro Nano as the subwoofer. All the DSP is done by my Halo 11.

what i like is that through time correction and separate HPF and LBF you can set the SpC108T to run mid range, the rears to run a little bit higher and use the Halo 11 fader to get a lovely balance.

Before I fitted the Recoil, I was running the Halo 11
volume at 23 now its down to 11

Loving the sound and Darth Vader is keeping a careful watch on everything

Fitted and coded in 'L' version window modules - now got mirror fold on remote

Curious - does this 'L' module allow for unfold on unlock? Or is it still unfold on ignition/engine start?

The latter

Fitted the Passat washer jets. What an improvement!

H&R Trak+ 25mm bolt on rear wheel spacers

Before:


After:


Just as a note, if it helps anyone - I needed to get shorter wheel bolts (27mm) as the ones fitted (34mm thread) were bottoming out before the wheel went tight onto the spacer

Which ones did you buy?

Which ones did you buy?

A pair of used 5M0955985C9B9 for £8 from ebay. Straight swap, didn't even need tools to remove the old ones.

I've heard the pattern ones can be a bit variable, ranging from s**t to OK, so went for genuine ones, albeit used, for less cash. Its not like they get worn out!

Added some 30mm spacers to the rears. Was going for 25mm on the front but whoever put the new tyres on the front rattle gunned the bolts to the point that a breaker bar and 5 ft of scaffold tube wouldn’t budge one bolt. There’s going to be a phone call tomorrow to the stealership about that issue. Also booked a remap at Bognor for Tuesday morning to give a bit more pulling power.Afterwards. Awesome service from wheel parts with next day delivery.

Hmmm…. well after the great upgrade idea from @vwjack and the link gratefully supplied by @Matt-T68 I ordered and received said washer jets…. I fitted them yesterday evening no problem, but wasn’t quite happy with the spray pattern…. it seemed too high and heading up onto the roof! So today I set about adjusting them…. it’s most probably my heavy handedness, but whilst adjusting slowly and carefully (and with no resistance) one of them broke!

So that went straight in the bin and I decided to wash the original parts in hot soapy water and refit.

Were yours pattern parts or original? My research suggests the OE ones had a metal wormmdrife in the adjuster whereas the pattern ones are plastic.
