Hi all, I recently bought a VW caddy and love the thing unfortunately I'm having issues starting her up, she runs absolutely fine but she only runs sometimes, been to the garage for two weeks and they gave her back to me with the issue seeming resolved (they were a great two day).

It will turn over but not start, I can bump start her in 3rd but I can't bump her every morning and not for lack of trying, anyone encountered similar issues before?

I am looking to buy a Caddy, around 2010 model. I am looking at life and life maxi edition, but I found out there are also "Team editions", "Maxi Combi" and "Life maxi" version of caddy.
My question is, which is the longer base model? I need some that I can insert all the 7 seats if needed or take out them for large storage space. Which Caddy model would then be the longest or the best for it?

Are there also any tips I should know about them? Is the 2.0Tdi engine alright?

I am located in EU, if that changes something
Any help appreciated

New to Reddit but need some help. I’ve got a 2014 caddy. The side door works perfectly fine with the outside handle but doesn’t work at all with the inside one. Wondered if anyone has had this issue. The lock on the inside also doesn’t work only lockable on the keys

Wondering if anyone can help. I’ve got a 1.6TDI Caddy on almost 170k miles. Thinking it’s almost time for another cambelt change but considering an engine swap. I want to go 2.0TDI. Is the CEGA engine from a Seat Leon FR a compatible swap? Will it bolt onto my gearbox from the 1.6? Straight swap? What else do I need to do? Any additional wiring?

My name is Carson Whiting. I have been caddying for years and I have seen it all. I can help the most when the golfer is near scratch or a plus index. I have been all over the country from Blue Jack National to Whistling Straits and inbetween. There are a ton of tournaments going on in the Dallas/Fort Worth area that I know I can help bring someone to a victory. I am 22 years old as a 4 index but please don't let that discourage you. My knowledge of the game is everything a tour player would need and more. If anyone is interested, you can reply to this post and I will get back to you. I will ask if anyone is interested, we will need to go to the range and play a round or two so I can fully understand your game before we get to that first tee. Best of luck to those who play and caddy. Thank you.

Hi everybody I have a 11plate caddy and would like to have my child’s car seat on an isofix base, I’ve found isofix adapters on Amazon to retrofit myself but unsure of the safety of these products so I thought just swapping the seat to one with isofix would be an easy option, does anyone have an ideas please? Many thanks in advance

Hi all. I’ve just put down a deposit on a new Caddy Cargo with Comfort Drive Travel Assist with the Digital Cockpit. Im in Australia for context.

I’m a bit concerned all the safety features will annoy me. Stuff like lane assist and emergency braking. Is this all set to ON each time you start the van? I don’t want the van steering for me unless I ask it to.

Also the ACC…is it easy to toggle between this and regular cruise control?

Any info appreciated. Thanks

I've got a 2004 mk3 caddy, registered as a 5 seater (with back seats), with only 1 sliding door on the passenger side. I can't find anything online about a passenger caddy with only 1 sliding door, and I really want to know how mine came into existence. It very possibly could've been that one of the previous owners bought it as a 3 (or 4, depending on if you count the rear door) door panel van and converted it. I know it doesn't matter, but I can't accept that there's no background information on it. Based in South Africa, if that matters anything

Follow up from a previous post. So had the slave cylinder valve replaced but my mechanic is saying the reason it went is because the clutch is so hard that it’s likely the amount of pressure required to use it broke the valve. I’m sure the clutch wasn’t that bad to begin with and never showed any signs of being on its way out before the cylinder valve went. He Says I need a whole new clutch (& do flywheel at the same time) for around £7-800 but probably more). Claims it now moves around the yard but probably won’t last long. Now I’m mechancally dyslexic so if someone could explain, if he’s not having me on, how long is the new cylinder valve likely to last, and is this a fair reasonable price? TIA

Currently in the middle of a camper conversion and this part of the van is currently letting it down standard wise. I can't seem to find the name of it and ideally need to find a replacement online for it. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

I can only find up to 2015.

I'm actually trying to identify the trailer plug fuse. In previous models, it was fuse 51, but this space is empty on my car.

Thanks.

Hey, so I want to join the gang and found a really good offer for a 2021 Caddy Maxi California. The thing is that I sometimes would like to use the trunk space to transport big cargo and also I don’t want to drive around the kitchen all the time (except on camping trips ofcourse). I know that the bed can be removed but is there a way to remove the kitchen and easily put it back whenever needed?

Im looking for my first car, i need it to be practical so the caddy seems like a good option and fits my budget. Most of the used ones i have seen are around 85000 miles and around $9900 (usd). Do you think is too risky to buy a caddy with that mileage? And is maintenance too expensive? (1.6 TDI engine)

How? This is crazy.

Bought a 1.6 TDI at 130K miles for 8K. Now worth 8K with 230 KM's it's worth the same.

Looking for a upgrade (automatic) and came across this. Anyone know why?

​

Edit. I think it's the chiptuning I've done. Bought it at 100PK and it's now 150 PK (chiptuning)

Today I had my tailgate open on my caddy life 2008 and it started to rain. Upon closing it I noticed a significant amount of water that entered the frame coming out of the small holes in the bottom. Any idea where it came in from? We want to take it camping and I remodeled the tailgate cover with some pockets so this is a not so pleasant surprise... Thanks guys.

Anyone selling or know someone who is sell hybrid front bumpers for MK3 caddy?

Hi there, I have a 2010 1.9 tdi caddy. also pretty inexperienced with cars. my knowledge is limited to youtube ^^

symptoms that i can recall; I refueled diesel (wasn't on the yellow light) drove for about 15 minutes to get home. woke up this morning and can't seem to get the van past cranking. (normally it has an instant start)

no missfires or uneven running. nothing seemed different. battery and terminals are connected showing 12.4v. I can hear the fuel pump. Fuses all seem to be im order

since, -new starter motor -replaced fuel filter -took cam crank sensor off and cleaned the electrical connections plug bits with electrical contact spray. tried key in on position for 30seconds 3 times

i feel like the crankshaft sensor or fuel lines are next. Could there be something obvious i have missed?

any help much appreciated :)

Hi, iv just changed two of my fuel injectors but its pissing out diesel from what I think to be the leak off pipe. Iv ordered a new one but if its still leaking I have no idea where from. Any ideas what it might be or anyone had similar issues?

Hey folks, I’m new to the caddy club. Excited to be here, I’ve wanted a Caddy for ages and recently bought one. The engine temp light started flashing recently and alerted me to the fact that my coolant needed topping up.

My research is telling me that it’s not good to use regular coolant on VW parts because of the ingredient ethylene glycol, which will degrade the gaskets in my system. All recommendations (and the label on my reservoir tank) say G12, yet when I try to find more information on this coolant, it is apparently made from “monoethylene glycol” and seems to be exactly what I’m being told not to get.

Does anyone have any insight they can share?

I'm considering adding reversing sensors to my 2011 Caddy, and I have found a stock rear bumper that has the reversing sensors built in. However, my caddy did not come with these sensors from the factory, and the wiring isn't there. How big of a hassle would it to add the wires, if I do it I'm also going to uninstall the internal roof to add a reversing camera, and are the sensors universal (as in would they probably be compatible with an aftermarket stereo, or would I need to get a converter of sorts?
