Recently picked up an 05 Caddy C20 1.9TDI, 156k on the clock.
Doesn't appear to of been a works van through its years so it in pretty good condition. The odd dent & scuff, but best point being there's no serious rust at all, just the bottom corner of the drivers door is starting to bubble.
It has had an odd bump on the passenger front but plans are to swap out the front for 07 Touran setup
I've bought this as we're planning to reinvigorate our old rear air suspension conversion. We previously worked with SRS Auto to create a rear suspension setup that allowed for both air & coil, it was a great setup, but over engineered really. Making it tricky to install, lots of parts to be produced and pretty costly.
So we're going version2, back to the drawing board from all we've learnt doing that setup, from other projects we've brought ideas from and also seeing what else is available for the Caddy's in way of air suspension.
No plans on advertising here at all, but rather just a document of the general mods we carry out and the design & testing of our new rear air kit.
The van is going to be my daily, so it's not going to be a complete one off build, however I do hope it turns out looking smart with plans I have
So here's the van as we got it -
The test bed for our old rear 4 Link setup that will be the test bed for V2 as well -
Then I found a guy breaking his 07 Touran just a few days after I'd picked up the Caddy. He had everything I wanted and more already stripped from his Touran, made a deal and he kindly packed and wrapped all the parts ready for me to have collected. They arrived at our shop yesterday morning

Thanks guys and I hope to be back soon with some updates of the Touran parts going on.
