Touran Dash conversion.. is it worth the effort?

Post by Pman1984 »

As the title says is it worth the effort?

I have a complete touran as wife's expired I just happened to get a caddy.. :D already swapped seats over but wondering if it's worth the hassle of swapping dash?

Any thoughts?

100%! Makes it such a nice place to be, I think it’s one of my favourite mods so far. First time I’ve removed and fitted a dashboard and found it surprisingly straight forward

Guess that's the plan for this evening then to strip it out of the touran at least.. Hers was an 08 my caddy is an 11 so need the newer face plate for heaters (don't like the older looking one).

Well worth the effort. Don’t forget to swap over all the vent ducts as they are all different, even the one right at the front.

The hardest thing I found was sourcing the newer storage box. They are about second hand just have to be quick with getting onto breakers. VW charge an extortionate amount new
