Has anyone has this issue? The black paint seems to be particularly thick - so perhaps not straight automotive paint?

Someone sent me the following link today:
T5 build full width rock n roll bed. (Picture heavy) | Page 7 | VW T4 Forum - VW T5 Forum
This doesn't talk about wheel/tyre diameter though. The...
Sorted.
Bottom levers out with plastic plug into panel, then the whole slides upward through another plug fixed into lower A pillar.

There is a triangular black plastic trim on the outside of the base of the A pillar. This "matches" with the covering of the base of the door rear view mirror.
I cannot see how this triangular...
Well,
I've found the issue the tyre fitter reported is correct, unfortunately.
The adjustment on the hinge arrangement was already using the maximum depth. The wheel+tyre looks to be 10-15mm too...
In 2020 I was anticipating some further outback driving and sought decent tyres for my van. I had had the van lifted 35mm and wanted larger (legal) tyres. At that time there were few options...
Thanks all. Most helpful. I'm hopingbto have a look within the next couple of days - after getting a replacement driver's door!.
Thanks to eah for your responses.

I've run a set of 4 Pirelli Scorpion ATR tyres on my van and replaced them this week.
I bought 5 obo something I'd read here or elsewhere to the effect that the larger 235/65 tyre would fit into the...
Thanks MIG, I'll have to try harder! I appreciate your confirming the colour/ terminal.
It does require a bit of gymnastics to get at that wiring - something I would have been able to do a lot...
As above. I have T5 (not T5.1) information which says its a Blue cable, but this doesn't seem to be the case for my vehicle. :pat:
I want the signal to ensure my air compressor can't be operational...
Hi Hillbilly,
I can appreciate your experience! I've seen other vehicles washed sideways. However, I'm not thinking of fast flowing water - certainly with the cross section of a T5! Actually, it's...
I understand the wading depth of my 2011 T5.1 was 300mm. I've lifted it 30mm which helps up front, at least.
I'd like to increase the wading depth further. I'd appreciate comments.
When the van...
I replaced the original VW rough road suspension in my 2011/2012 T5.1 with a Seikel lift kit. This was in about 2015.
The original suspension is what VW put in delivery vans and campervans, etc, to...
Thanks Sunny,
I appreciate your reply - you're always on the ball! I'll look at that. I'm away from my van with an issue atm.
I'm actually wanting a separate USB connection to enable android auto...
Folks
What's the blank rectanular-ish blank in the panel into which the shifter fits? It's just below the 4 (blank rectangles) on the dash. I'm hoping to put a socket into it but it seems different...
Ouch!! I'll look at it in the morning.
Thanks for getting reply!

Drove my van today and found the display was NOT behaving. It shows Average speed for the trip, Total kilometres, trip KM and nothing else. I cannot cycle through the display options using the...
Well, that was the VW advice.
Bought a new compressor today.
Thanks for the reply.
G'day folks,
The A/C on my 2012 T5.1 failed (suddenly). VW diagnosis is that the clutch (or compressor) is the issue. The clutch is NOT spinning with the engine running. It LOOKS like it is probably...
Sunny,
(From another thread.) Yes, mine's a DSG and the job is done. Ouch, a couple of times over. It's not only the DMF that's expensive, but all those VW bolts too.
I'll travel over the next 6...
Oh,
Sorry, the unmade part is from about Lyndhurst to the Qld Border - travelling northeast.
Hi Sunny,
It's ?3 years since we were there. The road had been improved greatly and wasn't rough. There were mild gravel sections and some areas where there was a fair amount of dust, but not...
G'day Sunny.
We've taken our T5.1 to Darwin from Brisbane 3 or ?4 times. NO major issue with roads at all. Kangaroos in Qld at dusk can be a hazard, but given there's been good rain in many...
Thanks for the reply.
It is but also it isn't good to know others have troubles too!
I was greatly encouraged by your last sentence or so. I too think this is a fantastic vehicle to drive and...
Folk,
I'd be interested to hear experiences/comments concerning a recent diagnosis by a trusted VW mechanic.
I'd had a lightish chattering noise at idle (sometimes). It comes from the front,...
