VW T6 Transporter Forum

Need some help. I've got some basic knowledge of electrics but not much of an idea as to how my camper is wired up. We have driven down to Italy and on arrival found the wall next to the cupboard with the fusebox is very hot to touch. There's a cooling fan on permanently. I think it's the leisure battery that's failed. I've turned off the battery charger which has disconnected the hook up charging but when we drive the engine it's getting hot again. How do I stop the leisure battery from... Read more

After receiving some advice from here I have purchased a Victron IP65 battery charger for when on hook up. The installation says mount vertically, but I have very limited space. What are the issues of mounting this horizontally? Has anybody else done this and did you encounter any issues? Thank you

I know it's been mentioned but my Carista dongle fell out of my van so now time to upgrade. What is the nearest to what VW use? I don't want to use a lap. Either my phone app or hand held screen. A scanner that can provide more information. Preferably no subscription. Thanks

I have ABT installed swivel seats (2), does anyone know if the swivel bases can be swapped to the standard OEM height adjustable non swivel ones?

Hi all, looking for a bit of advice. Recently bought my first van, a 2018 T6 LWB in reflex silver and safe to say I'm pretty much in love with it. Just done our first trip out to the Lake District, amazing! The one small annoyance I have is the rusty stone chips on the paintwork. There are several on the bonnet, a large one on the rear driver side arch and a small one on each a pillar. I've had a quote from a bodyshop which came in at £1500. That involved painting the entire lower side... Read more

hello, my heated seat just broke down on MY17 transporter and i was looking for a new set (oem are really expensive !) so i just found some old stock of T5 oem heat element and i was wondering if it could fit or not ? that's the same reference but 7H instead of 7E so i'm not sure if it's just a new name for the same product or if it's a totally different one
