2007 Mk7 appears broken into with no damage

Postby Tdci_boy » Thu Jun 21, 2012 12:03 pm

It would appear that overnight my van has been broken into with no apparent damage, has anyone expreienced this or is my Chemo Brain really starting to affect me & I despite being paranoid about locking it, I forgot :-(
Transit Custom Limited H1 L2 DCIV, now converted to van by removing the seats etc so now twin side loading doors, fully kitted out with Sortimo racking, always loaded to capacity & averages 35mpg :D

:lol: you shouldnt have to do that on a new van though. Im glad i couldnt afford a Mk7, seems to be way too many issues popping up on here and i wouldnt fancy paying for a new EGR valve once a week. :lol:
