Time for a new trouper. ExBG caddy 2010 203k

Post by nobbyclarke123 »

Starting myself a build thread here to keep a track of my progress.

Just got a 2010 1.9 tdi, exBG caddy. It's already had the touran rear seats fitted, but no seat belts. Couple of door lock issues. And suspected rear shocks as it rattles like a bugger from the rear driving along the road. But she drives straight and runs pretty good.

NS speaker is blown and ac has a leak. Not got cruise control yet, but will be fitting this soon. Planned to put a nice android head unit in but having just sold my transit camper to a gypsy( big mistake I know) they've called me up 4 days later to say the clutch has gone and they want some money to get it fixed... I caved and paid them £300 back towards getting a new clutch fitted. But that was £300 of my fixer up budget out the bloody window !!

Hopefully things will improve, but if anyone reads this and has some rear seatbelts that I need and they want rid of drop me a PM I'm a new member and I looks forward to getting to know some of you through this build process.

It's also got audi S line heated electric seats in the front, but these need a controller new ac controller and a loom that I think I read a thread on here about.

That's a future job, for once I've got my desired setup running:)

Once I've got my basics covered off I'd like to build myself some rear dog crates so me and my partner can go to our agility shows with our dogs and have some more room to enjoy the time there :)

Collected my seatbelts this evening and realised I could probably use some bolts and spreader plates

Back to the shopping list.

If anyone is out there and reads this before I get access to the how to section, do I mount the end of the seatbelts infront or behind the extension reel ?

Today's update. I spent alot of the evening chasing the camshaft no signal. After getting an aftermarket replacement, it still showed no signal, now three sensors can't all be wrong I decided to pin out the ecu and found a short in the black and white wire. This was hidden in the only bit of the loom that i hadn't checked up near the ecu.

Turns out 6 wires had broken in total. So out with my trusty soldering iron and away to it. All soldered up and with the new aftermarket sensor in, I was getting implausible signal error. I decided to swap it for the genuine vw one from a dead engine in my garage.

Fired up on the first turn like a dream, no error codes showing now.

Hopefully I can get on with the rest of the van now!!

Thanks DuckTails.

Today's been a long day of it. Managed to get all the lighting sorted but need to get a switch to turn them on 🫣

Scrubbed up the floor today too.

Plus mad the plastic trims around the rear doors fit... ooo and we have seatbelts now, we'll 2 atleast I'm still unsure about where to mount the middle one ....


I'll update the photos in the morning when it's all dry :)

Anyone reading this that can help with coding in the new clocks feel free to shout out :pImageImageImage

So after a few days of hard graft. The first draft of my new van is ready for the road.

List of jobs done:

Major deep clean !

Interior lighting sorted out (although rear lighting doesn't operate with doors open. And not sure why... I took the feed from the old interior switc to a new 3 position switch at the rear.....

Seatbelts fitted

Cruise fitted and new wiper stalk ready for the clocks when I can get the coded in

Bulkhead trim cut down and installed. Carpets installed (in a fashion)

New rear shocks

New highline alloys(could do with new tyres)

Insulation stuffed behind the ply lining.

Oh and I fixed the chaffed wires on the ecu .

I don't think she's scrubbed up too bad.
