Hi all
Don't know what happenned to my post this morning but will try again.
Have a look at ECB Volskwagen Transporter Bullbars Nudge Bars Frontal Protection Equipment These bars are ADR and Airbag compliant.
I ordered a nudge bar but have asked the dealer to hold off 'til I resolve what happens about the parking sensors.
One VW specialist I spoke to thinks that the warning I had from the dealer that it would cause a permanent alarm if I disconnected two of the front sensors may be true but only to the extent that when he plugs the diagnostic system into the car it tells him that there is a malfunction. It may not cause too much of a problem day to day.
Does anyone have any more on that please?
cheers

Thanks Mikinoz, excuse my ignorance but can you enlighten me on what means VAGCOM please?
Many thanks for your response.

VAGCOM is the interface between the ECU and a programming device, like a laptop.
Details on this are available from here. Ross-Tech: Home

Hi again, I just tried the "JustAnswer" option. Out of curiosity as much as anything I think.
I simply asked if the two centre detectors could be removed to facilitate a nudge bar.
The response was:
"You cannot disable the two centre sensors.
I would fit a different type of system that uses radio wave rather than ultrasonics."
I am expected to pay $22 for that! I expect I can do a lot better than that on VWwatercooled! The bloke obviously has no idea of the implications.
cheers

So Ive had a customer ask me about a full wrap around bullbar for a facelift T5 . Ive asked around and no-one seems to sell them . I tried a few links posted on here and they dont work . Anyone have any idea who makes them or is going to release them soon ?

Try East Coast bull bars its not a bumper replacment but looks ok.

I use a Formula Offroad bull bar Type 51 - full bumper bar replacement unit. It is well made and fits well. I optioned two cutouts for Hella DRLs.
Steel Bullbars - Formula Offroad - Steel Bullbars - Sydney
No other option I could find locally...

Has anyone had any recent luck fitting a bull bar to the new Multivan?
Have tried all that have been listed here except Qld Bullbars and they all say that they can do a Transporter but not a Multivan but a salesman in Brisbane assures me that a bullbar manufacturer in Brisbane makes a bumper replacement bar that still allows the use of the sensors(refitted in the bar)and he would email through pictures (probably three weeks ago now).

Just going to bump this up to see if anyone knows anything new about Bullbars for Multivans. Has anyone fitted one?
The only one I can see is from QLD Bullbars.
Volkswagen Caravelle - QLD Bullbars
