Ta, good info for me to check.
Looking for confirmation that T5 Four Motion wheels are PCD 120 with a 51 offset please. My spare wheel is a flood victim and I am now looking for a new spare. The van is currently parked in a...
Thanks Sunny. More info is to hand. Found the connector, right where it was supposed to be. Mobile mechanic has plugged in an OBD2 scanner and no codes are recorded. Interesting, to me of...
ABS and TCS lights are on. Looks like I can borrow an OLBII device, where is the connector? I have not downloaded fault codes before and would appreciate any hints pls.
My T5's rear view mirror is/was floppy. When set to a position that suited me, the next bump in the road would cause the mirror to flop into an unusable position. The mirror hosts the display for...
Thanks for the Heads up, Scott. Will chase that up.

Found this thread via a search and don't see any point in starting a new one.
Reason for the search is my T5 battery voltage falls away from 12.68 after a charge to 12.34 in 7 days. Still...
Thanks for the encouragement. Intending to do the sand track between Broadwater and 1770 later in the month. Have you ever had a snatch from the front? I was just going to use the bullbar...
Not quite Gold Coast, Boettchers at Bundamba near Ipswich has been good for me. Service book in people are always helpful. Last service on my T5 included tyre rotation in the schedule. Was told...
I'll contact a couple of those suggested reset places and ask prices. I's like to leave the seat out for a short drive but cost might not be worth it.
Another thought - is there any plugin...
Read the stickers, Fool (A-team reference). Conversion was done in NSW, bar was constructed and supplied by a QLD company. I'll ring the bar manufacturer tomorrow. Should be a simple question...
I'm intending to take the seat out completely and leave it in the shed while I drive the vehicle to the friend's place. I anticipate the check light will come on during initial checks by the...
Ta, I will chase that one down.

Ex Ambo came with a very nice airbag compatible bullbar. Lots of logical and aesthetic reasons to remove it. I do no night driving on bull infested roads anymore and a little less mass up front...
Currently installing inverter for 240 volts, under the passenger seat in a T5 camper conversion. I have been disconnecting the vehicle battery before disconnecting the seat airbags, reversing the...
I could not find instructions online so went at it as gently as possible. I needed to get the plastic side skirts off the seat to trim the bottoms so they did not foul on the newly installed seat...
Appreciate the replies. Picked up a new battery today from the dealer. Tiny bit upspec from the one that has died. 95 Ah compared to the 80 and 750 CCA compared to 560. Physically longer but...
Had the 75,000 k service less than 200 k ago. I am pretty sure the spanner symbol is steady when a service is due so I am adding that to the list of warning lights. I will be putting a new...
Been watching a starter battery only holding about 12.45 -12.35 for a couple of weeks and casually checking out prices for a replacement in anticipation of needing to get a new one at any time. ...
Is it that hard to do the pad changes yourself? I will be up for rear pads soon, according to the service people, and intend to do the job myself. Few years ago, girlfriend was quoted some silly...
I have done a few Ks now, towing a van with a T5. HR towbar rated for 2500Kg. Van I have been towing is a nominal 16 ft, independent suspension with airbags. Van has the axle line set quite a...
Bugger! for me. Just ordered service key from local VW in Ipswich -$215 and it will be another $60 to have it programmed when it gets here.

Most comments above related to lowering the ride height; my intent/want is to raise the body for increased ground clearance. I have T5 4 Motion and am converting to a camper. "Lift kits" don't...
I notice my ex-ambo T5 has a Start Stop battery fitted as a start battery, in the engine bay. Varta brand, 70 AH. Advertising on the battery label says good for installations with lots of...
Thanks for the info. I'll find out more, of course, but I'm working out just what changes to do in the rear (camper conversion) and will just leave the rear aircon installation as it is.
