If its any help with colour coding i found the spray tin of candy white from the range is a better match than halfords. Found halfords paint a bit on the yellow side of white.

Lmao!, I had no idea they sold it in there! and there's one next to my halfords store - I figured I'd use the halfords one as a base coat and then get some proper vw paint for the last few coats, paid £18 for what can only be described as a 'fun size' can from my local dealer!

Did you swap the seats with the battery connected...

@STP
Yes, ignition was off the full time, have a feeling I haven’t wired the plugs correctly, on the drivers side there’s 3 wires, on the oassengers theres 5 on the seat sides, on the body loom there’s 3 on the caddy

Removed seats and center console gave it all a clean and general tidy as previous owner hadn’t bolted everything up quite right
Also fitted a compact sub under the passenger seat

Good morning everyone,

Last weekend I insulated my floor in the cabin and retrofitted a Touran Mk1 carpet, next step is a touran center console with armrest and then door insulation include new speaker set.

gave her a good deep wash. well needed after 2 weeks in Norway!

That looks nice, I started looking for a Touran front carpet set on eBay but people are asking £100 for them on there. Bloody cheeky.

I’ll be quite honest I haven’t read all the posts, are there any recommendations in terms of must have mods for the caddy?

Pulled the EGR and throttle bottle and that pip that connects both to the intake manifold

Gave both a good clean up of all the built up sludge.

Am debating pulling the intake manifold so that I can clean it too... But it's so many new gaskets I need to buy.....

About 3 EGR gaskets, exhaust gasket, intake gasket for like $200 worth of gaskets...

I REALLY want to clean it... But also, I don't want to spend $200 on gaskets when I am already 2K deep in parts and refurbishment....

The entire intake will be choked too. I wondered about the cleaning system that Edd China was advocating, if it could get rid of the amount of sludge built up. I've personally seen Citroen HDi engines stripped down and the intake runners had been reduced from 38mm down to about 15mm due to carbon sludge build up and it's a wonder the engine even runs at that point.

Big difference then?

Any change to the fuel efficiency?

Pulled the intake, exhaust, turbo, gearbox and DMF off.
