mk6/7 parts difficulties

Postby MinorMatt » Mon Feb 06, 2023 1:55 pm

Being the owner of a well regarded and loved classic van (the mk5 :D ) I'm not in the loop as much for the trampy mk6/7 vans... :wink: :lol:

I have had a few people message me recently asking whether I can supply the wingmirror bolt covers for them (I can't right now, but I have started looking in to it) - so I am wondering if there are any other small bits and pieces people are struggling with that I could look at making?

Not sure if you can make this item but it’s the hinge cover that goes on the rear bumper corner, some arsebag has nicked one off my van.

Well this died a death. Obviously almost everything is still easy to get and the market is well catered for!

It's due to most of the mk6/7 lot not being able to read

I think that most Mk6 & Mk7 owners are more concerned about terminal rust, failing DMF's, EGR's, Turbo's, and various other major components.
Mirror screw covers pale into insignificance compared to that lot :mrgreen: :P :lol:

1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)
2004 Mk6 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.0 TDDi - Vantunered (Also gone)
2008 Mk7 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.2 TDCi - Also Vantunered
