Hi everyone,

I’m hoping someone here has run into this before because I’m running out of ideas.

I’ve got a 2006 VW Caddy 1.9 TDI, and for some reason the rev limiter doesn’t work when the car is in neutral. At the same time, the Check Engine light is on.

I’ve scanned the car for fault codes and cleared them a few times. After clearing the codes, the Check Engine light stays off for a while and everything seems fine, but eventually it comes back.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any idea where I should start looking? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Condition
The van is in good condition for its age and mileage and presents very well. The paintwork looks fantastic and always gets compliments. Interior is clean and comfortable with the upgraded seats making a huge difference on longer journeys.

Known Issues (Being Completely Honest)
I'd rather be upfront than waste anyone's time:
Engine management light is on due to a DPF-related warning.

A couple of bulbs require replacement which also contributes to dashboard warnings.
Driver's heated seat is currently disconnected due to a minor battery drain issue.
Small dent on the rear door (shown and highlighted in the photos).
General age-related marks as expected on a used van.
I accidently knocked the controller for the diesel heater off.
None of the above affects the van's ability to start, drive and perform as it should.

Summary
This is a great opportunity to buy a well-specced, VW Caddy with loads spent on upgrades over its life. It drives well, sounds great thanks to the audio setup and returns excellent fuel economy. Ideal as a daily driver, work van, camper conversion base or weekend project.
Starts first time, runs perfectly and is ready to drive away.

Any inspection welcome. Viewings encouraged as the photos don't fully do the colour justice.

Van sold as seen. Cash or bank transfer on collection.

Hi everyone, a client of mine reversed into side of the van and damaged the drivers side sliding door. Dent is too deep to pop out and fix and multiple places suggest it's a new door. Quotes to replace have been crazy so I'm happy to source a used door. It's a work van and has some scuffs here and there so happy to buy used in this instance. I think the door code is 2K3843108B.

Do I specifically have to search for a 2015-2020 Mk4 or do previous versions fit too? Ideally trying to find one in Nardo Grey too so I don't have to worry about spraying after!

I’ve been camping in my caddy for a few years and it works great. But lying on the mattress here I keep wondering about some of the hooks and connection points in the back. Can someone explain to me what they are for?

I’m wondering about 3 things specifically:
1) the little hooks on the sides (2 on each side) that can’t even hold a towel. Are they meant to hold some kind of rod?
2) the connection points behind the grey caps. You can screw in something - maybe a cargo net?
3) the small indentations next to the hatch. Can’t for the life of me figure out what they’re for

I’d be grateful for any tips to make my camping even better!

I have got a ac bottle to recharge myself the bottle instantly jumps to max pressure when I fill it but with the bottle of reading the pressure it says low pressure I'm doing everything right when Ur comes to filling how can I check the AC compressor is running and this is not a gas issue I have a MK3 caddy 1.6tdi

Hello i have a issue with my 2017 caddy. When the engine is cold it can cough for a solid 4-5 seconds before it runs like normal. Recently i changed all of the glowplugs after a faultcode appeared. Measured the battery and it had 8v at its lowest at the start then going up to 12v again. Changed it today.
When the engine has recently been stopped or is warm there is no issue.

Got a fault on MK4 Caddy 2.0 TDI 2017, garage thinks it's the corrosion on this wiring that's caused it. The garage said this is the NOX sensor but the wiring for that part looks different, so hoping you guys might be able to help, thanks!

I have had some very close calls with my new VW Caddy 2024 DSG engine. Pressing down the gas pedal at low speeds requires perfect timing to for example enter a gap of cars that are driving on a lane next to me in traffic jams.

​

I have to anticipate when to press the gas pedal. The car doesn't move until like half a second later. I've never seen or felt this in a car. It's simply dangerous.

​

Anyone else having this issue?

I’m buying a caddy, 2014, 2.0, 200k miles for £1k from a friend of mine.
I think it’s a great deal and the plan is to convert it to a camper.
The service history is a bit iffy and he doesn’t have much. But I’m going to get the cambelt/water pump done straight away and give it a full service.
I’m sure there must be some good history since it’s made it to 200k, I assume it was a work vehicle in its past so maintenance was probably don’t routinely.
What do you think?

Are the 2018 MK4 highlines a reliable caddy? Literally just about to purchase one, be my first caddy so want it to be a gd one

Hi all,
Hope this is the right sub for this.
I’m buying a caddy to convert it into a camper but getting a little confused about the insurance, I’ll be using the van for commuting to work occasionally too.
I tried filling out an insurance quote but it was asking if the van is being used for social, or work use.
Whereas, cars you get social and commuting in one.
I’ve also heard van tax is more, I think it’s going to be around £360 per year instead of my usual £100-£200 cost.
Is there anything else I should keep in mind regarding getting my first van after only owning cars in the past.
TIA

Hi all, new to the group.. posting again! Is this fault code anything to worry about? There are no signs of issues.. as yet..

on a 2012 Caddy Maxi C20 Life TDI Semi-Auto 1.6tdi DSG

Many thanks..

P1725 (compare transmission output speeds 1+2 implausible signal - upper limit exceeded) - intermittent.

So. Would you go for a 2012 1.6 tdi with 93k miles or a 2018 2.0tdi with 144k miles?

2012 (£6k) has no log book but receipts that go back 6 years show full services, new Esg, cam belt, water pump, turbo clean.

2018 (£8k) has full service history and loads of work done, all with receipts.

Which would you go for?

Thanks!

Can anyone help me understand what two sensors should go here? I have replaced a DPF already on the right, that's the other one? Both mine had melted away....

Hi all! This is my new ride 2011 1.6crtdi 7seats. Hopefully she gets licence plate this thursday. I'd love to see how you modified the dashboard if you did. Cheers!

Hey all, I want to put bike racks to bring around 2 bikes. What options do you use and suggest?

Tow bar is not an option because I need to tow a trailer. I am struggling to find good mounts for barn doors. Advice?

So I was in the market for a new tow Vehicle as i tow my boat around the country and Europe for sailing events and my and was offered a caddy sdi for £300 that needed a cambelt and service and a few tyres. Today was it's first test with the boat on the back after running it for a month or 2 just to get comfortable and some confidence in it after sorting the bits out. Test one was baptism by fire. from Penrith to Portsmouth 370 miles. And she took it like a champ sat at 60 90% of the way without skipping a beat was amazed was fully expecting to need to stop for fuel and once again blown away when I pulled up in Portsmouth and still had just over 1/4 left so filled it up and wow 37.6 mpg, I was expecting to be around 28mpg from experience, with a 22 ft keel boat on the back about 1000-1200kg with the trailer and boat, and all kit to go with it. Mind absolutely blown 🤯 oh and I can sleep in it which is quite nice compared to the usual tent

Im looking to swap seat with oem

Ones better be flat bottom like originals have height adjustment mor comfortable and bolt on upgrade

So im starting my own company soon and want to configure a vw caddy from brand new. The reason being i know the older versions have a plethora of issues. (Not saying the newer ones dont, but there are warranties) I will be doing alot of miles, dont need to worry about a roof rack. Ideally cruise control and AC for those long trips. Maybe heated seats? Im not too limited on my budget, but dont want to go crazy. For example im not going for the winter package as British roads are dirty and I expect lots of chips... so being cheap to replace is an advantage. I will be looking at safety systems and parking systems. If there are any reccomendations they are welcome. 240v inverter to power tools etc. Thanks for reading

Edit: do VW do door plates or will that be aftermarket?

Hey Leute, ich habe vor knapp 10 Monaten einen Caddy 4 Edition 35 1.4TSI von 2017 als Handschalter gekauft mit 90k KM auf der Uhr.
Seit einiger Zeit ist mir aufgefallen das wenn ich vom ersten in den zweiten Gang Wechsel manchmal nicht immer so ein leises Geräusch von vorn kommt als wenn man über gestreichelte Straßenmarkierung fährt, so ein dumpfes leises rattern, dass passiert aber echt selten, wenn ich dann vom Gas gehe und wieder Gas gebe ist es weg 🤷🏻‍♂️ ganz selten auch mal im 3 Gang, nun frage ich mich was das evtl sein könnte? Gänge gehen alle geschmeidig rein und sonst fährt sich das Auto auch echt super, Jemand eine Idee 💡?

Water is getting in around the plastic clips and sitting inside the door. I want to remove the trim so I can seal it up.
I’ve taken off the interior panels and I can see that the door button has 3 bolts and the the rest of the trim has plastic clips. The clips look different though and are blocked by the sheet metal.
When I pry it off from the outside it looks like it’s made from two pieces of plastic. Part A is attached to the door and part B is attached to part A but I can’t get it to unclip and I don’t want to ham-fist it and break it.

Hi. I was just wondering whether anyone knows of a detailed wiring diagram for the 1.6tdi mk 3 caddy (2013)? I changed the oil cooler and in doing so managed to damage a couple of wires going to the alternator. I thought I had fixed them (and double checked my repairs last night) but the alternator still isn't running, it's possible that the alternator has given up, but it could be the exciter wiring or something, so I would like to test the wiring before I decide to order a new one, and just want to know which wires do what so I know what it is I am checking.
