I did a thing - VW Transporter T6

[indy4x]

And I made a box to go between the seats so the dog had a bigger platform to lie on (yes the seats need a clean)

Rear windows arrived for 2x sliding doors and 2x rear doors and a set of wheels and tyres from 4x4 Tyres.



I wanted Cooper Discoverer AT3 but they are hard to get hold of ATM (apparently) so went General Grabbers instead

And they are in, local windscreen fitter charged £180 to cut the holes in the doors and fit the 4 pieces of glass, at that price he was welcome to do it. New shoes on as well

Single seat base arrived to I could ditch the double front seat and fit the Tiguan passenger seat which should keep the wife happy

Adapter plate came from Transporter HA, not sure I'm entirely happy with what they have supplied but its in for now



While removing the original double passenger seat I found it already has the additional factory wiring for a 2nd battery, bonus




New AC pipe also arrived from VW along with some new fasteners and bits for the front bumper to replace the bodges by a previous owner, so front end off again, AC pipe installed and bodges unbodged

I have been scratching my head with the wiring for the drivers seat. Its out of a Tiguan, wiring on the seat base is all there but obviously the Transporter does not have the corresponding wires. Its go the memory function and it needs wiring into the BCM and the van being told its there for it to work. I did poke around with a power probe to see if I could at least get it into a position where it fitted me but no success yet. Time was not on my side as we were getting ready to go away so its now on the roundtoit list

I saw a cutaway Range Rover seat to display how they're made, I'm sure it had more wiring inside than the whole of my first car had!

Re-the seat, because it’s non standard don’t mean it can’t be sorted. Mines the billy basic van with originally, probably just electric mirrors, I ordered a BCM from a Caravelle, my coding guy made a sub loom as per VWs Erwin website and fitted the BCM, took the lower half of the dash and clocks out, repinned what was required and coded in the cruise control. The expensive bit is the BCM as everyone want the Caravelle stuff. I got lucky and scored one from eBay Germany for €166 or around £140. The coding and sub loom cost me another £140. If you are anywhere near Norfolk he’s worth a visit. He’s even done an overnighter for one guy and did the work at his house (obvs the guy paid his costs).
He’s done cruise on my Audi A1. Scirocco and a clock upgrade on my Caddy. He even wrote the code to a used key fob and I just had to sort the blade for the key.
Re-the loom, vw sell what they call repair wires and you can buy them with the correct pin on one end, you’ll need the crimper and pins/plugs for the other end.
