The Aux socket in my tub never worked from new. I asked the dealer to look at it during the first service and they said the fuse was missing in the dash below the steering wheel. I had not touched...

Hi gents,

I bought a little cigarette lighter volt and temp gauge thingy a while back and have been observing it. It was only a cheap ebay job but there seems to be very little difference between...

Yep, I've installed some Drifta drawers and the battery will be installed inside them.

The guys at Traxide are recommending a minimum of 25mm2 or 3 B&S. I'm going up a size to 35mm2 or 2 B&S just...

Hi Josh,

I've done a bit of research in this area and I'm happy to share.....

I was told by my dealer when I bought my Rok at the EOFY that the Amarok's have not and will not be getting the...

Heaps of them on Ebay.

Does anyone know if it's possible to put a smart regulator in the standard alternator?

I'm told the current V6 Amaroks have a 95 A/h AGM battery. As Blugnomad says 13.8 isn't enough to fully...

Oh dear sorry to hear this. I'm guessing you have a prognosis by now?

Sherwy.

Thanks fellas. Great stuff.

Ordering now!

Cheers,

Pete.

Greetings Amaroker's,

I just picked up my new V6 Sportline on Friday. Love it.

I've been looking at a Provent for my old T5 for quite a while but never went through with it.

I'm thinking...

I picked it up this morning. Wow, goes like a rocket!

Pretty sure JMAC still does ECU tuning.

Yep very happy. I guess I just badly underestimated just how much blow by these modern diesels produce. My mechanic said he's seen a hell of a lot worse. Giving her a tickle up now to sell. Pick up...

Picked up the van this afternoon with a clean bill of health. Just leaking seals at all the junctions. Stripped cleaned up and re-seated the seals and all good. Now to give her a tidy up ready to...

When I was a young fellah we did a hell of a lot of heavy towing the old man's trailer sailer, approx 2.5 t fully loaded, with mum, dad and 4 boys in the car. We would tow from Brisbane to Airlie...

Getting serious now, just spent the afternoon at Austral Volkswagen. The EOFY run out deals are pretty good. 53K for the V6 Sportline with 1.8% interest with finance through VFS. My accountant said...

Yes indeed. No response from Austal but that's kinda what I expected.

I had forgotten about a very old friend who is a very talented mechanic. I gave him a call yesterday and it's booked in for...

I'm looking at retiring my T5 and getting an Amarok too. I'm leaning towards the V6 option as I do tow occasionally and will definitely be doing some beach work. There is no substitute for power when...

I put in a call to the service department at Austral Volkswagen this afternoon for an estimate.... if they want 6 grand I'll be doing it myself!

Yikes!

That's a hell of a lot closer! Many thanks.

2006 1.9Tdi

I spoke with Jimmy, he said he hasn't touched a van in 3 years. Shame, he's such a great mechanic with seriously impressive knowledge levels and a good bloke too.

Thanks for the recommendations...

Yeah I think it might be more than just old rubber parts... it has gotten a lot worse pretty rapidly. She does appear to be a little down on power and definitely blowing more smoke than she used to....

Morning Gents,

MY trusty T5 (2006 1.9TDi) has never leaked a single drop of oil since I bought it 2nd hand in 2009. About 6 months ago I noticed a few tiny drops appearing on the garage floor....
