Re: Engine upgrade
I Took the connector and n75 valve from the touran and wired it to the caddy wiring harness lol :-) the caddy harness had one there that was a 2 pin connector but the caddy needed a 6pin connector so just swapped it over

Re: Engine upgrade
If I had the knowledge I'd switch over the looms but I've been told it's a pain and finding someone willing to do it would be another problem. Light may stay on forever. Do you think it being on may affect the power distribution? As I'm wanting to remap once I fit turbo, intercooler and exhast?

if you need to swap the otherone which goes inside the van it is though.
if you go to a tdi try to get the loom with it otherwise you need to add a couple extra cables for the map and n75.
it will run without them you will just have no boost and be in limp mode

Re: The workhorse
So I got my grooved discs fitted to the van, very happy with how it turned out. Had to paint the callipers orange as u do lol. I did want to do a r32 brake swap but it was going to cost too much so opted for these

Re: The workhorse
Also ordered the new touran mirrors. Found a guy on eBay who fits them to the caddy backing surroundings, all painted white and gloss black. I'll post a pic once I've got and fitted them.

Re: The workhorse
Yea im they're quite a lot too upgrading their fire alarm systems! You thought about vinyl wrapping there's a few places in Dundee do a good job. Not as expensive as paint!

Re: The workhorse
I have yeah. Not had any prices for it yet as I'm going to put the r32 bumper on the back before I get it done. But I'll look at all options. Trying to get her running a lot better first
