Thank you for that brilliant video Nathan. Your friend has bought a cracking Caddy there for very little money. Plus, it's saved one from going to the breakers, so it's a win win. I couldn't believe how straight the body was and the absence of wear in the interior. Great to see your friends in the video and that you all help each other out.
So chuffed with my caddy already done stereo,back seat conversion ill take u for breakfast sat morning nath thanks mate really appreciate all the work uve done on the caddy and my new dte t shirt getting ready fo rthe first cadddy meet ahyeh
I don't have a caddy, but do love my dubs. I've come to really value this channel for the quality snippets of valuable information. Can't go by a DTE video without watching. Top stuff!
A friend of mine sent me one of your videos, now I can't stop watching them, absolutely love the vibe and style that you have. I wish you all the best for the future
What a great van. I’d leave it as is. It suits the steel wheels. Maybe bit more comfort like a leather steering wheel and never been to a gym electric windows. When Great value and priceless friendships meet
Hey bud thank you 🙏 someone local has actually emailed me and said they can solder some new leds on for him. What a great community seem to follow the channel, it makes me happy ❤️
Hey Jon Skirrow was and still is so happy with his new van, he’s been a busy bee since the video so I’ll upload a video short in a few days showing what he’s done 👍
Akways ahead of the game know your veedubs its good to see someone that can help out buddies and get things sorted for them without stressing out and daft spending top man Nathan love these videos 😊
Just got my first caddy, 2016, 28k miles, full service history, away getting remapped as only 75hp! It's the same red as your one! About to get started on modding it!
Can I suggest a Golf mk5 heater controls which may fit and may be more likely to have a/c button. I used one here in Australia to add heated seat controls to my caddy :)
Awwww yeaaaaa... Quality content dude Helping the lads out getting shizz done... She is a lovely bit of kit for that money it's good everywhere it needs to be. Keep them coming lads
Brilliant video! Had me stitches when you were on the lawnmower talking about the nightmare you're having working on the caddy 😂 we have all been there far too many times! I don't need a van but after watching your videos it makes me want to get a caddy and PD130 swap it 😅
Had to replace key barrel few years ago & had a problem with steering angle sensor. Eventually found correct abs security code to get the light off. Can’t remember codes but had to try about 10 different codes before turning wheel left & right for it to reset & go off 🤞👍
I've got one but it's a caddy Life 1.5 petrol, 7 speed auto it's a 7 seater the best vehicle I've owned and I'm 75, I've had a lot of cars. I've taken 3 seats out, why?, to get my bicycle in , sometimes I take them all out and have a long weekend cycling and sleep in it. Sometimes a van, sometimes a car 😊
The seller had prepared himself for tyre kickers and then must have thought, damn, this is the easiest vehicle I have ever sold. No matter what he told you was wrong with it, you just shrugged it off. Got a bargain.
Hi mate, love the channel 👌 I’ve watched every caddy episode at least twice and just wondering if you’ve ever come across the problem I’ve got at the moment? I took the door cards off to fit my new wing mirrors and after putting it all back together I’ve got no power to the windows, mirrors or them little lights that are on the bottom, central locking works fine still though 🤷♂️🤷♂️ any suggestion would be greatly appreciated…. Keep up the good work 👍👍
Hey Craig, have you had the door cards off again to see if anything is unplugged? The wires that go to the module under the door card? Make sure they are all plugged in correctly. If they are I’d then be looking at fuses under the steering wheel 👍
@@YTDTETV hi Nathan yes I’ve tried all things mate it was a conversion from as you’d say keep fit windows 🤣 so needed to add the extra power wire, that was a year or so ago now, I’ve even taken the wing mirror plugs back out and tried it again and still no power to window or mirror switches as they’re still not lighting up when the lights are turned on.. I’m usually very good at all this but this has stumped me so I thought I’d ask the guru 🙏 thanks for the reply and all being well and I get it sorted I’ll be heading down to one of the meets you guys have very soon
DT, bit unprepared only going armed with cable ties, you need Gaffer Tape an WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't, Cable Ties and Gaffer Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, WD40
He was so happy when we picked it up and he’s still happy now, I’ll post a little video short in a couple of days as he’s been doing little bits to it almost everyday. Everyone needs a caddy in there life 😊
Hey Richard I said to Andy we are really close to Billy’s place as I remember the wet road and the estuary. We was on abit of a time crunch to get home but I did say to Skirrow if he needs any spares Billy is the man 👍👍 I did also think I wonder if Billy knows this van
@@richardneal394 I’m sure I’ll make a trip up to see Billy for some parts again soon 👍 tell Billy he needs to come to the bluewater meet next week is going to be a big one
I had that trouble with the key barrel on my audi a3....drilled the lock out and took out all the innerds.....no trouble after that but no steering lock.
Sir please please stop making noise like that my office chair was over 5 times in video have experienced that said situation where there expecting you to understand that strange sound coming from the customer it way too much to relive you are true legend
Ive got a caddy van. Engine went and its been parked up for a while. It's a 2013 model and the bodywork is really good / clean. I don't know if i can sell it spares or repair, or if I'll have to scrap it off. Such a shame as its not that bad. 😭🤣
Hi mate, I have a an sdi I use it for full time van life on my channel. It smokes sometimes. Mostly when in traffic, going slower or going up hills. But after motorway work it’s ok. It occasionally struggles starting when parked up hills. Any ideas?
I have a 2010 caddy like this but a 2.0 sdi nowhere near as tidy as this one but same rust on arches etc I’m going to be selling soon what you guys reckon it’s worth? It’s got 200k miles or more when I bought it had a problem with injectors but luckily the guy I bought of fixed the problem and it’s been sound
Does the EGR need mapping out on the pre face lifts Nathan? Our van is already mapped but thinking about buying an EGR blank and getting rid of the cooler as well.
If you know your way around a spanner you’ll do it. Get in touch with Billy Neal , caddy enhancements on Facebook and he will sell you a full kit. Gearbox drive shafts, selectors and starter. Vw gearbox’s are super easy 👍
hi I have bought a 2012 caddy that has now cut out on me and won't start. I know nothing about mechanics would it be better to replace engine or do a engine swap to a petrol ? if so do you have any recommendations it would be much appreciated
That guy looks well happy with the caddy! Looks like it's in good nick,my brother in law had one on 10 plate, but it started running on 3 cylinders, 3 garages and £400 later nobody could fix it? So he sold it, spares and repairs, £500 i think?
Nathan, remind me the name of your trusty old impact gun please. I’ve lost our conversation. Thank you. Not watched your video yet so can’t comment yet 😂
Scorcha mate you’ve been watching a long while and always comment and support that doesn’t go unnoticed so I may be able to help ya 🙏, email me if your serious 👍
why do people say the bls is a rubbish engine my first caddy was a bls and i did 325000 miles in 4 yrs with it never had a issue me 2nd caddy was a bls and was over 200000 miles and run great and i have a 2006 dsg bls thats just under 200000 now and runs great i just make sure its serviced every year
What a proper gent selling that Caddy, all the info, nothing hidden. If only they were all like him. That will be a lovely motor.
Yep what a guy he was, told me everything was wrong and didn’t hide anything, perfect seller 👍👍

Hey bud Skirrow is super happy he’s been a busy bee since the video so I’ll upload a short video in a couple of days to show what he’s been up to 👍
what a steal, good luck to him, i cant seem to pull the trigger, not the best with older vehicles and looking around 15yrs old.
Great job for your m8 👍🏻 You’re one cool dude 😎
what an absolute bargain that is. good find, its a beauty
Thanks Alan he’s super happy with it 👍
That would make a great base for a modified caddy. Perhaps he might get the bug and it will become a featured project. Keep up the great videos.
Hey Ben your right it would make a good base as apart from the front wings the shell is really solid, thanks bud 👍
Good man helping your pal out 🙏
Brilliant video! Had me stitches when you were on the lawnmower talking about the nightmare you're having working on the caddy 😂 we have all been there far too many times! I don't need a van but after watching your videos it makes me want to get a caddy and PD130 swap it 😅

Hey Lewis ah they can be a pain, since the video I’ve fitted a new one I managed to get it apart to 👍
@@YTDTETV fairplay bud looks like you got some top mates there who appreciate what you do for them👍👍
Had to replace key barrel few years ago & had a problem with steering angle sensor. Eventually found correct abs security code to get the light off. Can’t remember codes but had to try about 10 different codes before turning wheel left & right for it to reset & go off 🤞👍

Ah ye another builders van to the fleet 😆
Nice job Nathan Vw boss man 😊
Nathan, you’re a gent! Wish I lived closer, I’d pop round for a cuppa!!

thats a great little van for the money.seen stuff thats double the price and not even half as good
Skirrow is happy, it did have a few little jobs but nothing major 👍
Nice seats too very clean
Yes I really like the seats actually never seen polo seats in a caddy, very nice
What a bargain caddy van,no wonder your mates chuffed with it,another convert to caddies Ah Ye! 🤙🏻

Thanks bud it is alright 👍
Looking to do egr delete on my caddy what’s involved to do this will it put a engine light on cheers
I've got a caddy tooo! We all got caddies! Mine doesn't have AC just want to find out if it could be retrofitted?
Nice old Mersea Van! You should’ve called in to see Billy!

Hi , just found your channel , great content . Is it the case that Caddys suffer from injector problems ? ,
Cracking job top man

😊nice buy
Does the EGR need mapping out on the pre face lifts Nathan? Our van is already mapped but thinking about buying an EGR blank and getting rid of the cooler as well.
Bolt missing lower engine mount. 🤔 The are Vw Polo Highline seats with storage box.
DTE TV 🎉 how easy is the 6 speed conversion on the caddy, quite mechanically minded, but the 5 speed is not minting at the minute 😂
If you know your way around a spanner you’ll do it. Get in touch with Billy Neal , caddy enhancements on Facebook and he will sell you a full kit. Gearbox drive shafts, selectors and starter. Vw gearbox’s are super easy 👍
@YTDTETV Thank you Nathan 😊
Got my like mate
I want my van done I would love you to have it and get some jobs done on it
Dont it throw check engine light now that EGR is bypassed ?
Quality Nathan 👌🏻
Any chance of being able to book in with u mate
decent house normally equals decent people and thats a bargain
Yep the housings disintegrate. Cheap but a pain in the a$$. I’ve changed ‘em too.
GOOD MAN REAL MATE
Hi mate, I need to run an EGR Cooler delete did you use darkside kit? Did you blank off EGR also?
