Ive just stumbled across this channel and think its excellent. Finally a channel that isn't all just talking you actually get stuff done and show it in the videos. Perfect for me as Im self teaching myself the basics and going to take the plunge and buy a salvage vehicle at some point.
Love how you are so worried about it being dirty, while you are still building things. Like me you’ll probably clean it ten times while working on it before its done.
i am happy because people like caddy.Good job man
I absolutely enjoyed that one mate! I plan on touran dash swap my caddy and now I have ideas of what to look out for. thank you. I also bought mk7 milti function wheel and steering control module a can gateway and an rcd330 radio and I might go all out and do a climatronic swap. your van is looking the buisness now. touran dashboard looks so lovely. the silver center bezel is the icing on the cake.
Watching these vids makes me miss my caddy
Nicely detailed vid as usual. I prefer the Caddy dash with round vents but would add the Touran glovebox, but each to their own.
I don't even like Volkswagens but I've clicked on this straight away. Loving this build!
Don’t like Volkswagens? One day you will be able to afford one 👍🏻
once you own one of these youll change your mind
More solid content. Looking great Dan. This is going to be a helluva caddy when it's done.
Another great vid Dan, love how naturally methodical you are, makes it all look super easy! 🤙🏻
Well done Dan, very informative and you made it look easy.. I am sure this is perfect for those looking to try this conversion. Cheers
Happy memories, I miss my Touran.
God it's so insane how customizable Tourans Caddys And Golfs are.
Another top job done! Love you attitude to trying everything mate
Awesome as ever, get a touchscreen double din fitted in that dash with front and rear cams interfaced
Amazing! just subbed. I really like watching VW caddy and transporter retrofits and facelifts
Nice one Dan ....... looking forward to the next vid and then seeing the Caddy all finished ....... 🤙🏻
Liking that battery ratchet. That’s on me list of tools now...👍
Great work Dan, wishing you all the best with the projects and the channel. Keep up the good work my friend!.
Top work, as ever, Dan.🔥👍
You need to use the original caddy regs for window conversion.. a piller plug is different. Power feeds need adding in to the doors aswell and that touran doesn’t have compatible motors. Hope this helps 🤙🏻
Lovely Jubbly as always Dan the Man.
Good effort and great honesty. Well done.
Cool video can't wait for part 2 bumper and electric windows video, can u please show us step by step the wiring on the windows please.... Appreciate all the help and love your vidoes
Awesome job on the dashboard dude my back would be in pieces doing that!! lol
Great video, Dan. You make it look easy, buddy!
Sound deadening going in Dan? Looks like you’re enjoying the project and getting some great results with the changes so far ✅ 😎👍
It will be bud. I need to take it all out again for paint anyway.
@@DanChambersDAC I should never have doubted 😂. Brilliant work so far and more to come 😎👍✅
Nice one mate. Can’t wait for next one
absolutely amazing detail, wow Dan !!
Class mate, coming along nicely 👌🏻
Great video dan, looks loads better
Very inspiring, I want to do one now. Keep up the good work 👌
Difference is like night and day 👍
I might have missed something earlier on in your videos, but why ARE you turning a Caddy into a Touran??
Also interested. Would have been easier to just buy a Touran.
Why not. It will still alway's be a Caddy. The dash is a nicer shape, The carpets are nicer and the rear seats make it a mutlipuropse vehicle. Plus people watch these mods so I earn money from doing them!
@@DanChambersDAC Fair enough - just wondered if there was a deeper purpose 😂
David Burns The Caddy and these conversions are really popular too but no one has ever done a series like this so I thought it would be worthwhile! Gained about 2k subs in the past few weeks since I go it!
@@DanChambersDAC I’m not surprised, I’m enjoying it a lot 👍🏻
Looking awesome dude
Another great episode well done and thanks
Fantastic work. Are you retrofitting cruise control , head unit with reverse camera and a pumping stereo? 🤣😀👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻
No cruise control but hopefully I will be changing the Headunit and adding a reversing camera.
I like vans. Vans make me happy.
I keep thinking about the possibility of welding part of the Touran rear window frame in to the Caddy and trying for electric rear windows in it!
Hi Dan black spray dye would bring the carpets up like new .
Keep up Dan nice work
Another great video.
after this and the mk1. i think you should do a mk6 tdi or gti
Yeah struggling with what to do next.
Hi Dan, great series of videos. I have a 2011 Caddy, will a Touran's 'Glovebox Lid" fit directly onto my 'Open Glovebox' to make it have a proper 'Closeable Glovebox' ??? Thanks in advance.
Hi mate great conversion where did u get the trims on back step ?
Thank you! A follower on my Instagram contacted me that had a set for sale.
I would have put foam under the rear plastic covers, this ensures that it doesn’t rattle ☺️.
Looking great!
Top job man 👌👌
Great video, question, will heated golf seats fit a Caddy? I already have heated seats in mine but would like a nicer looking seat in the future.
Yes bud. With Touran bases they should be an easy fit.
Fair play
Great channel mate ,can you tell me where you purchased the jump start
Another top video 🤘
Does the foam on the underside of the front carpet act as sound proofing or would you recommend putting sound deadening stuff underneath?
*Off to eBay to look for caddy's
Yes it does but I will be adding some more sound deadening.
I’m just doing this same conversion now , did you use the heater controls from the Touran or the caddy ones ? Thanks
What’s the point of the dash swap? Not being arsy... I mean... is the touran dash nicer or sleeker or whatever? I swapped my mk6 transit transit dash for the mk7 so I could have the gear stick up on the dash and not the long stick out the floor! Feels much more modern
Just because it looks nicer tbf and the door cards are nicer with electric windows etc.
Great video, learning a lot from all the videos. As you still are in the rebuild stage, I would say to fit a MK4 Golf interior light (like ebay item number 313304116089) so you have the map lights but you can also fit a VW microphone (like ebay item number 273339199862) so if you did decide to fit a Bluetooth head unit, you would have the factory mic as well. Wouldn’t hurt to throw in a DAB aerial at the same time 👍 You may have already done this but thought I would mention it at this stage. Keep up the good work on the videos 👏
Thank you for the recommendations bud.
I have a caddy it's the exact same
Smashed it
Great work on the channel. I've done the dash swap a few years ago and since sold the caddy but looking to get another soon, I do remember having issues with airbag and the switch in the glovebox. Did you use the original caddy passenger airbag or the one from the touran?
Also how did you get the gti bumper so cheap. I've been looking and theyre over £200 without the black trim bits? tia
Cheers bud. The Caddy didn't have a passenger airbag so I just removed the Touran one. I haven't connected the glovebox light either. I paid £150 for just the bare bumper and £130 for the grilles. All off eBay.
Great content again Dan, are you adding any sound deadening to the floor and doors?
Thought the same thing, especially given the amount put in to the Blue Caddy 🤔 ...might find it done later perhaps?
😎👍✅
Yes I am! I need to strip it all again for spraying anyway.
@@DanChambersDAC ah yes I remember you saying in an earlier video 👍🏻
Mk7 wheel and rns510 would complete it
yes! theyre classy
Great video however got to say you are either knackered or this wasnt your favourite thing to do :( Looked a bit like you werent 100% yourself in this one. Hope it was nothing and just me seeing that. If you do feel a bit down then take heart that you are turning out some great content and we are really enjoying it. Looking forward to seeing many more to come!
Been a long week and had a headache. Back on track next week.
well done, Dan. What kind of an electric wrench do you use? Which make? Thanx!
It is a Sealey 12v one. Brilliant little tool!
Just a ponder, does the vans ecu hold the mileage or is that an issue ? And does the fan have bigger/small wheels so the Speedo needs to be recalibrated ? Cracking video mate well done 👍
The clocks are the Caddy clock's so all will be fine.
Point of swapping them?
It looks nicer, Loads of people do the conversion but no one had ever done a video showing how to do it.
Looking good, shame late vlog didn’t get to the end of said vlog, did anyone else have trouble?
Had a couple of people say this but It all works as it should my end....
Great work I would like to do this to my caddy mine's a 59 plate so if I get a dash from a Toran with all the fixing of the same. Year I should be Ok?
yeah youre fine up to 2015
Any Touran Dash Will fit upto about 2012 I think
@@DanChambersDAC ok.mate thanks
Did you have to change the lock on the glove compartment? Or does the caddy door fit
Haven't thought of that!! Need to see what works!
I wouldn’t put the touran wheel in, it’s older style and makes the car look older (in my opinion). I would go for either the original ór a Multifunctional steering wheel from a higher end caddy or transporter.
I went for mk7 mfsw but I wont expect the buttons to work. it would need some mods but at least it would look better. mk6.5 steering wheel would be best bet
@@bencrosbie if you were to install a 2011 caddy multifunction steering wheel, you would only need to adjust the slip ring and do some coding in VCDS am I right?
@@PeetB_ so I have a mfsw (multifunction steering wheel) module with a CH at the end of the model number and I ordered a slip ring / clock spring with a C at the end of the model number they should accomodate the multi function controls but there may need to be modifications on the airbag loom. I havent tried any of that just yet to confirm but yes I pretty much will need VCDS coding to allow mfsw to enable. I have a mk5 gen 08 caddy the next mk6 gen caddy will just have the slip ring to replace to work it. the mk6 steering wheel would be plug n play. but I reckon the mk7 steering wheel may work with some wiring modifications.
Good job. Are u putting windows in the rear?
Thank you. No bud.
So you're making what is effectively a two door Touran, with no rear windows. What's your motivation? Why not just try to make a cool Touran?
I much prefer the Caddy to the Touran. These conversions are done by a lot of people but no one has ever done a video explaining how so I wanted to do them. Plus if people watch I earn from it!
will you be fitting side widows on the caddy?
no bud.
So whats the difference is dashes?
Is it worth it?
Just the looks really. I think it is worth it.
Working now on my TH-cam channel for day vans and campers products etc, YOU buddy help every upload, life is dramas do what makes you happy
👍
👍👍👍👍
Hi👍👍👍👍👋👋👋🇩🇪✌️Kai
No Golf Content this week??,
No sorry, I was only doing small jobs finishing bits off and wasn't very interesting. Back on it next week.
@@DanChambersDAC no need to be sorry still good content as usual, just enjoy the Golf, but the Caddy stuff is interesting as well, that new dash is crying out for a headunit upgrade, thanks and keep up the good work 👍
Why don’t you just buy a touran.
Wtf Dude, what are u doing and why?
Why, Because I want to and people want to watch it.
