Hi guys,

I have a t5.1 biturbo 4motion 132kw I am trying to work out what coilover kit to get for it and just before ordering I've noticed the T numbers?

How have you guys gone with working out what van yours is?

Thanks in advance for any advice,

T5 - joe

The UK uses those codes for some reason. Not 100% sure what they refer to.

Ideally you need to match it up to engine and driveline offerings, due to weight differences.

It's hard to tell there are so many variables and between all there is like 200kg per model

I have pictures of the underside of the van if anyone can tell me if it looks like there's?

The set up is adjustable but I started at 50ml so it would have settled slighty since then .

The UK market gets more GVM options than us, we get the T30 (3000kg GVM as standard) except for the Ambos and also Trakka (they are able to get the T32 3200kg GVM model for heavier payload, i had to get permission from VW Australia to authorised my order)

So the T28 is the 2800kg GVM model, T30 is the 3000kg GVM and T32 is the 3200 kg GVM.

The T32 has a different front strut mount as far as i'm aware, i was limited with my T32, but as i wanted a Lift, i was covered with Seikel Suspension.
