Well the dash is out! Took me a few hours but I’d rather take my time and do it properly. I’ve tidied and labelled some of the wiring that I’ve added over the years too…..there’s more to do once the centre console is removed.

I was a bit gutted I had to remove the A pillar trims….I hate fitting those!

There’ll be more updates to come over the next week.

Must be that time of year

Looks like you’ve taken more out than I have mate. Best of luck with it.

Got a bit more done on the van today. Got the seats out, centre console and rubber mat out and replaced with Touran carpets and refitted the centre console. I also managed to mount my new tweeters in the OEM Touran mounts too.



I won’t have a lot of time tomorrow, so all I’m aiming to do is buy some speaker wire, and sort out the wires for the tweeters and wire in the crossovers. Hoping I can make a start refitting the dashboard on Friday.

What's the sliding arm rear from ?

Your making progress, one foot (albeit only slightly) in front of the other is still going forward
Time n patience my friend and ye shall be rewarded

It’s from a Touran Stu.

Looks like a lot of work but will be worth it once its done
Keep up the good work

Cheers Andy. Hasn’t been too bad so far, though I was a bit apprehensive taking out the dash (mainly due to all the electrical bits around the wheel) and I think I will be putting the new one in too…..trapping wires is my biggest worry so I’ll be very careful!

Yep definitely a lot of cables behind there but I suppose it will give you an insight into other hidden parts and how to get to them in future
Slow and steady and it will done before you know
You still putting in the passenger air bag?

Yes you’re right mate. I’m taking my time with it and learning as I go.

I hoovered the carpets and got the seats and speaker wiring done today. Next job tomorrow is fit the new dash and hopefully wheel if I get time, then onto the door cards and speaker replacement.

Couldn’t resist getting a sneaky sticker in

You are smashing it there Peter. Well done looking forward to seeing your new dash in.

Cheers Sean. Watch this space

Nice one Pete.
When it comes to fitting your A post trims, slide them in at the bottom then get out of the van and look through the windscreen to align the clips, they are easy enough once you get the hang of them.

Cheers Chris. I shall do it as you say. I can’t wait to get it all back together!

Well it’s in!
I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made today. Got my tweeters wired up too, I’ve located the crossovers just below the small window on the A pillar. I would have got the wheel on too, but I found a possible loose connection on the airbag loom and I’m not sure…….
Looks like a ground? I’m not sure!!

Anyway, it’ll get sorted out. I’ll be carrying on tomorrow!
