What have I got?

Post by Frankc »

Just bought myself this car/van a 2010 Volkswagen Caddy Life TDI DSG. I keep seeing references to Mk2 etc etc So how will I actually know what variation of model I actually have? What are the main differences?

The model I have does not come, I think, with sat nav. Can you upgrade the audio head unit to a Sat Nav variation with a plug and play replacement? Sorry if I sound a little vague but this was bought in a bit of a hurry last week from a dealer and not had time to look at it in great detail but just enough to see it runs etc ok. The actual car/van arrives this Thursday.

Any other tips or information would be gratefully received, Thanks! :D

You have a Third Generation (MK3) Caddy, based on the 2K Chassis
2004-2010 are 2K
2010-2015 facelift, while still based on the 2K chassis, are sometimes referred to as 2C
2015 onwards, still a 2K chassis, are sometimes referred to as SA, (or Mk4, despite only really being a facelift)

Just noticed that the 2010-2015 has the "face lift". I have a 2010 how can I tell if its a face lift or pre facelift? Just curious. Thanks!

The 2010 pre face lift Caddy is mainly different at the front end. Different bumper, grille & headlights and also a very slightly different interior. Not that you would notice.

True. I would probably not notice because all this is new to me. However I am going to Google photos of a 2008 and a 2011 Caddy to see if I can spot the exterior difference.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. :D

For those that follow who dont know the difference like me. The image below is of a 2008 Caddy

According to Wiki this is the face lift.

I am sure someone will be along shortly to tell me if I am wrong.

Yes the front end is different but the interior of the cab is not much different between the pre face lift and the face lift is was I should of said in my previous post.
