There was to much grey with the MK8R seats I had before :lol: and I always wanted a set of heated seats.

You have to book a ferry ticket and bring this over to Tatton Park Show on a club stand!

Hi Giddy, I've never had the van at any shows or meets, any chance I get I seem to go fishing instead :lol:

Thanks Lister :D

Fantastic build, van looks great. Some amount of detail has gone in to this 👏🏻

The MK8 Golf R seats looked really good, but the red on the new seats makes the cabin look really modern. Top job!

Thanks for the comments supercaldo and 3rdLeg. I've been enjoying the van and getting out fishing so haven't had time to do a lot to it recently. Not a picture of the van but a fish I caught and released recently.

Installed a Daku VAG PCB, it gets connected to the Instrument Cluster CAN-BUS and it brings up extra options like DPF purging message in MFD and DPF purging icon during purging, when its finished the icon disappears and plays a gong sound. Its also displays coolant and engine oil temperatures below factory minimum of 50°C. There is another screen showing RPM, boost PSI and KM/h digital reading.

Oooh, that's a nice addition.
I love these type of interface units that keep the look as OE as possible, utilising the technology already on the vehicle.

Yes Doc, I thought so to. It has a few other features like Bluetooth Icon For Any Module, Front Assit Green Led, Green Side Assist LED. I got it from Robert VW if anyone would like one.
