Unfortunately the info provided above proved incorrect. T5’s and later all have at least the 4 mounting points in the channel.
My T4, when it arrived, had nothing, just bare channels.
And yes,...
Excellent, that’s what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for that info Sunny. 🤙
Hi,
I’m getting incredibly frustrated trying to find info online on this subject. It’s almost like T4’s never existed. One page says you have to drill into the roof! Really???
I’ve bought a...
Thanks so much to my respondents for their most helpful information, which will save me around $500 I reckon - you can always rely on the VWW crew!
Best regards, Dubswin.
Hi guys,
No doubt there are many VW Transporter owners who frequent this site with vehicles that have had full production camper van conversions e.g. Trakka (like mine), Sunliner, Kea, Frontline,...
Another entry for your list would be:
Discoverer Campervans at ALBION PARK RAIL - and now also at TWEED HEADS SOUTH, both in NSW.
cheers, Dubswin.
Hey, thanks for that jets, some serious detail there! Much appreciated. Cheers Dubswin.
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any late model T4's came with vanity mirror/s standard?
My guess is that maybe the Caravelle did? Does anyone know if that's right?
cheers, Dubswin.
There you go, that stuck in my mind from my last T4 ownership a number of years back.
So, are we talking pricey to fix?
cheers,
Dubswin.
Ah, ta for that, yeah I think they are probably the best quality conversions done in Australia - and judging by the price of the new ones, they would certainly need to be!
I'm currently doing a...
Hi Guys,
Having owned a 2003 TDI300 Transporter and also an 02 Caravelle TDI, I know that in time the front suspension develops an horrendous creaking noise, best heard when going over speed bumps...
Hi Sunny 43.5,
Thanks for your very detailed response, I do appreciate that.
Being a Trakka conversion my van has a swivelling passenger seat. I noticed the other day that it actually sits...
Aaaahh, there you go, that all makes sense.
Thanks so much for your responses guys! I will get some aftermarket C/L then.
cheers, Dubswin.
Hi again,
My 2003 T4 has no height adjustment - and being nearly 6'2" (what's that, nearly 190cm?) I find myself sitting uncomfortably high, with a great view of the sun visors etc.
Without...
Hi guys,
This is possibly a very silly question, but…
I recently bought a 2003 T4 TDI Transporter. The main key (not the spare) has a press button which does nothing. When dissected, it reveals...
Hi guys,
Recently purchased a nice Sunliner camper van but the (standard) rims are looking very ordinary e.g. different coloured paint finishes etc.
Does anyone know of someone reasonably local...
Hi guys,
Had a couple of warning lights come on recently to do with ABS & Traction Control.
My mechanic told me the following (over several days):
"Don't worry, 9 times out of 10 it's just a...

Ah yes of course, there are 2 sizes, sorry about that.
Mine are the 215/65 R16 C on the VW Miyato alloys.
Thanks for the responses to date.
cheers, Dubswin.
Hi guys,
I am about to buy a new set of tyres.
My van is used as a car only, does bugger all work, mainly carries just me, and my personal stuff and occasionally a passenger or two.
I am...
Hi New Dubber, if you would like to text me please on 0414 997722 to discuss further. Cheers, Dubswin.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
I intend to use the correct load rated wheels. Just wondering what else is available apart from exxy VW ones.
The van is an ex Ambo 128kw one and it is currently...
Hi, I posted this yesterday in the "Wheels etc" forum, but no bites yet, so running it here as well. :)
Yeah, so...

Hi, Yeah, so...
1) I have an 08 Transporter 128kw and are wondering if some of the "current" optional T5 VW alloys (as per VW Aust website) will go straight onto our "superceded" model? eg. the...
