Caddy TDi with mk5 gti swap (Aus)

Post by Jnrm3 »

Hello,
Last week I started to swap my 2006 caddy tdi.
I purchased a write off mk5 Gti which so far I have the complete loom and driveline in the caddy. I will up get some photos later today and update the post.

Thanks Steve

@itease
Thanks trying to find some wiring diagram pin outs for both models but not having the best luck at the moment. I’m in the process now of sorting the wiring for the rear doors and tail lights at the moment.

So far what’s been completed:
coilovers and flipped rear beam
Driveline and wiring loom
Climate control/ heater box and dash back in
Drove it for it first time, feels ok but will need some mods/tune.
I’m based in Melbourne.

Jnrm3, good luck with the project. I’m very close to purchasing a 2020 Caddy Maxi van for my project. I am in Adelaide and was curious to what suspension kit you used, I’m looking at the Darkside ST kit but not sure if there is Aus stock or I will need to import.
