So I’ll list what I’ve done so far and what is in the pipeline along with any issues I’ve encountered. Hopefully this will help others or simply be a good reference for me
Van is a swb and came with a rear axle flip lowering kit. I removed this fitted heavy duty leafs and reused the saddles but fitted new U bolts Cost about £200 all in but had to be done to allow next mod.
Fitted black T6 alloys along with PCD conversions. PCD kit gives 20mm spacer as well as correct stud pattern i like the stance and. Handles really well speedo is a little out but thats an issue for another day.
Freed up all the brakes replaced all pads and discs and both rear callipers. That sorted out the braking issue.
Unfortunately the MOT failed on excessive corrosion drivers side sill. So 1 new sill and a front wing a few weekends and late nights and. 6 rattle cans later and i got an MOT pass.
Camper van stickers now fitted help cover the DIY paint job.
Pioneer head unit with reversing camera fitted.
Rear interior stripped cleaned and insulated. New pre-cut panels fitted and carpeted all round. With LED roof lights. 2 x 200AH lithium batteries and 3000W inverter with solar hook up and a DC-DC charger. Tentbox on the roof.
Latest mod was a cluster upgrade as i had no temp gauge. I got a Touran cluster off eBay along with a spare key (only 1 came with the van) had this cut locally and coded it in myself with my AUTEL. Since doing this I’ve decided to go with the later cluster and some new stalks to try and add the MFD control and CC to it. So that will be my next post hopefully. Also need to sort out an intermittent P0299 fault. Will add in what I do with that also.
Will put together some pics of some of the work I’ve done and add them to the thread.
. I purchased the stalks with the module attached so with a little coding via VCDS it was an easy upgrade. I did do some research and checked part numbers first. So for those who may be thinking of doing the same, there is some good info on VCDS website relating to part numbers.
