Nothing too exciting lately, just soundproofed the door. Some Dodo mat, superliner and acoustic foam.
When shutting the door it sounds like a posh car now

Re: My Caddy 4, 1.4 TSI, Acapulco blue
Is the foam worth doing Giddy? Mines already done with silent coat but might have to get some foam to add to my front doors as well.

Re: My Caddy 4, 1.4 TSI, Acapulco blue
@Lister79 I think it worth doing for the best result. Silent coat mats are more for vibration dampening and foam is for a mid-high pitch noise dampening. Saying that, I'm not sure how it would feel just with a vibration dampening mat alone, as I've done all in one go.

Re: My Caddy 4, 1.4 TSI, Acapulco blue
After some wrestling, the Motexion bulkhead is in!!! Had to remove the roof liner and even then it was a tight squeeze. Not the easiest job to do on your own in a crazy heat
After all this effort, I think it's a good fit for an aftermarket product.

Re: My Caddy 4, 1.4 TSI, Acapulco blue
Prior to removing the roof liner I was a little bit worried about how's roof soundproofing surviving the heat. Heard that some people had it falling off. But all was good there. As you can see, after nearly 3 years it all still in place, no peeling off or sagging.

Props mate! Lovely van and been a nice build to follow.
Pretty set on getting a petty caddy myself, after much deliberation.

"Accidentally" bought this Caddy specific rear brake kit for an absolute steal. Now, shall I go for a matching front, or kit up something custom? Thinking maybe TTRS calipers + Clubsport S discs.

Oh that's tasty.
You're doing a lot of preparation work for big power, I can see a bigger engine going in your van at some point.

Not sure if I'm brave enough to take on a full engine swap, but maybe a hybrid turbo at some point would be nice
