What did you do to your van today?

Fitted reverse beeper to my van today. Not a huge fan of these things especially early in the morning and not wanting to annoy my neighbours so fitted a hidden on/off switch using one of the blanking covers in front of the shift lever so I can turn it off which is awesome.

@toby did you have a 1.6 TDI
And did you have to do any wiring to put the 1.8 in

@gazza31112 yeah it’s how I bought it but I prefer it to black, bit different.

The parking sensors stopped working so since it's a nice dry day I thought I'd throw my head under to investigate. Looks like Edward scissorhands has done a bodge job on the wiring and one of the terminals had come off so I'll need to order all the bits and bobs and repair it properly but I did notice there wasn't a rear reinforcement bar fitted to the van. Bolts are there but the bar is missing, so that's something else to fork out for. May as well get the new 2016 shape bumper whilst I'm at it.

I don't remember ever wiring your sensors up

Spray tinted rear lights ,had a chrome grill, bit of an impulse buy, didn't like it.

Used the tint spray on it and the VW badge.
(Iv got the sensor behind so can't do anything else with it or buy an aftermarket or I get a front assist warning).
I like how it turned out, looks gloss black in the pic but the chrome on the grill turned more of a gunmetal.

Get a few layers of clear lacquer on it tonight and get them fitted tommorow

Managed to get my fogs in and bumper back on,

Needs to be removed as I’m going to have to make a bracket for the washer bottle,

But fogs in an r bumper

Will get down the garage tomorrow to adjust them up and pointing where they should aswell cause they look to low at the minute.

Where did you get it from mate if you don’t mind , and how much was it

Be careful fitting the PTC heater in that fashion in a caddy with stop/start, it should really be integrated to the ECU to save damaging the smart alternator and battery.
I am working on the assumption, based on you having only one relay, that you are controlling the relay with an external source. This is not ideal.
