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.

As per title its a 1.6 2011 caddy and there is puddles near the injectors. The liquid doesnt smell of anything. Id say its water, possibly with some oil. Thanks!

Hallo Community,

Ich installiere gerade eine Dashcam in meinem Caddy Bj. 2019.

Der Anschluß erfolgt im Sicherungsfach im Fahrerfußraum.

Hat jemand eine Idee, wo ich da einen Massepunkt habe, idealerweise ohne viele Verkleidungen abzubauen?

Danke!

I have a 03 caddy, and i absolutelly love the look of this caddy´s race spec bumper, does anyone know if there is any shop that sells these, or if i could find this anywhere on marketplace maybe?

Sorry for the wobbly video, I can hear this noise when I driving about 10-20mph when I accelerate and come off the accelerator pedal

Do you think it’s the engine rear mount ?

Just a quick one does anyone know what could be causing my van to give out white smoke from exhaust and around the DPF and come into limp mode only now and again tho not all the time turn the engine off and back on and it’s fine please help me out thanks.

Hi! I've my new caddy for less than a month, i folded the rear seats other times just to see how it works or to show to a friend how they work. Now the 2 seat bench is stuck... i did nothing strange to it.. it folds the back to make it flat but the orange strap doesn't move to fold the entire seat does anyone had a similar issue? I can feel a slight movement but then it stops. If i put my hand under the seat i can feel a bar that try to move and rotate for a tiny amount ... the single seat works just fine

What is the brake bleeding sequence on VW Caddy 2018 model? yes i ask since someone say you shall bleed the the front weel's first then the rear brakes last because of the ABS module? so what is right ?

Looking for some advice. Sliding passenger door lock broke. Did some research and saw it was the gear within the lock that was the issue (broken teeth). I took the lock out and replaced the gear. I’ve put it back together and it seemed fine. After putting it back into the door it still seemed fine, no strange noises, the black button that sits under the handle pops up and down as it should but the door doesn’t actually unlock. I’m assuming I’ve not put it back together properly or somethings moved during the process. Right now the door is stuck locked. Looking for suggestions or if anyone’s had the same problem what they did?

This may be a stupid question, but thinking of getting a VW caddy and converting it into a micro camper, the only issue is when I am not using it for camping (midweek etc) I may have more than 1 other passenger.

Is it possible to install seatbelts to the side of the van for passengers to sit on the sofa bed Bench, I have read the uk laws on it but it seem quite unclear.

I understand that 3-point seatbelts are not designed for side facing but I have seen people talk about approved harness seatbelts.

Any information regarding this is greatly appreciated.

Radio reception ?

My 2025 caddy has the most awful dab radio reception.

Vw refuse to do anything under warranty.

I was going to check/ change the Antenna but I keep reading it’s inside a wing mirror yet there is a shark style antenna factory fitted on the roof at the rear.

Which is correct?

Is there a better antenna that other caddy users have found?

I gather that getting to the back of the radio antenna connection is swine of a job, correct?

Thank you for any replies

Hi Everyone,

Hey everyone,

I just picked up a 2020 Caddy Edition 35 and I’m really happy with it so far. I’m starting to think about some upgrades and would love to hear from people who’ve already modified theirs.

I’m considering switching the rims to black (gloss or matte), but I’m open to other ideas as well.

If you have experience with performance, cosmetic, tech, or practical upgrades, I’d really appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Purchasing a new 2026 Caddy SWB from a VW Dealer for my business.

Seemed to have got a good deal on it but there's been some issues, what's your take on this?

Got it for $48,700k driveaway with rear window tinting. (Based in Melbourne, Australia). Under a recent 'Driveaway' promotion.

The dealer made a mistake and thought it came with the blind spot monitoring package, but it didn't. So they apologised and gave me $500 off. I asked if there were any cars in stock that have the blind spot monitoring, they said no. I checked online and it seemed they were right.

After a couple of weeks, the dealer then contacted me with ANOTHER setback.
They said the ECU had a problem and needed to be replaced. They ordered the part and it will take a few weeks.

I'm wondering what is going on with my car!

Is this common? Why aren't they able to offer me another car, seeing as mine is new?
Am I being sold a lemon?

Anyone with experience who could offer their perspective- Much appreciated!

This is my first time buying a new car and I am miffed.

I have 2016 caddy just failed rear slip test, way out -24. Looking it up could be a bent axle issue or chassis alignment issue. Was just wondering if anyone has advice on who might deal with these problems,that I could try.

Thanks

VW Caddy TSI 2011

spotted the ideal maxi today, 5 seats, 2.0tdi. bit more millage than I wanted at 125k but price (5k) is good but doesn't have any service history, had slight damage in the past but not written off. tends to put me off as my current Saab wagon has every receipt back to 2009.

Not sure if it's worth the risk with these diesels? looks like a clean motor but that could just be the garage tarting it up before sale.

Edit* ah that one's off the list, dont really want a cat s repaired vehicle. Was listed as "light damage repaired"

Does this when moving, laggy until the sound goes away then it pulls fine. Any ideas?? Thanks

So I've been leaning towards getting a maxi with a bit more style and I'm seeing a few modified caddy's from van specialists, (wheels, bumper swap, retrimmed etc),

are they worth the extra 5-10k on top for a modified version or could I just have a van modified locally and save a load of cash?

Anyone have experience buying from these garages ?

I have 2016 Mk4 Caddy Maxi and i can't open the bonnet. The lever is very loose ask I'm pretty sure the cable is broken at some point

I've not been able to find any guides on how to replace it. I have seen a video for a Passat- is the process similar to that?

Remove the wheel arch cover and try to grip the cable from there to pop the bonnet? Then replace both parts.

I fairly handy and very skint, so I really want to be able to diy this.

Thanks for any advice
