VW Cargo Management System

[Timlin]

Hi all

I've seen a few images and some references to the "Cargo Management System" thats available in some countries for the B6 Passat wagon (R36).

Its a rail system with two rails that are fitted to the floor and it has adjustable mounting points etc. It also appears to come with two adjustable barriers and one other with a strap system...

Anyway, it look very cool and I'd love to know where I can get one and is it possible to retro fit one...

Ideas anyone??

From what I can gather, it's factory-fit only, and not available as a 'kit'.

In saying that, there looks to be part numbers for everything needed to retro-fit it, and there are a lot of parts to it.




Essentially, parts 60 through to 91 are required, and in multiple quantities in some cases.

One uncertainty, would be wether you can still use the existing inner quarter panel trims that accommodate for the front luggage tie-downs, as the brackets for the tracking setup, uses those mounting points.

I saw a full set for sale a while ago but price was over $1000.

Was from a NZ seller if I remember correctly

Wow! Great work guys!

Your Google skills are way better than mine!

It is possible, I fitted this from parts into my 2013 B7 Passat Wagon and i can say that it is the best mod that i have done.

Approx list of parts required, from memory there was a handle that i purchased but it wasn't required. I also purchased the BMW cargo retaining bar as it had inbuilt straps. I can find the part number if anyone is really interested in getting this going. Install took about 2 hours.

For anyone who is interested, this telescopic arm fits into vw rails without issue.

In BMW parts catalog it is called : "Adaptive Attachment System".

How much roughly did all of it cost is the big question. I thought of doing it but it seemed too expensive.

I'm keen - I carry ****loads of equipment with me all the time - this is something I'd really like!

I wonder if VWAU would be able to source these parts, or should I look offshore?

Great work too mate!

They probably won't have the bits locally, but their Singapore warehouse is only a 14 day wait.

I might print out the parts list, and leave it with my local dealer and see what's available and for how much.

If the price a right, looks like a group is going to happen.

[Timlin]

All

I'm more than keen - this is a fantastic upgrade, I'm gonna do it one way or another, but a group buy is very interesting!

Keep me informed please!

Who are you guys planning on doing the group buy through?

[Netrover]

Having been lucky enough to have the cargo management system in the R36 I just bought, I can vouch for how useful it is. I would recommend the upgrade - you'll love it!

Hi Guys,

It was quite expensive however due to the nature of my work, i carry loads of equipment around. I also carry salt water for a fish tank at the office and it is handy to strap buckets full of water without fear of them tipping ovoer.

I have put the prices in Euro that i paid from hcsale.com (no longer exist, try Audi, VW, Å*koda, Seat OEM & VAG parts | oemVWshop.com), i recently purchased folding mirrors for the 7R and he was able to source them even though they were RHD mirrors.

NOTE for the Bolts, Some were no longer available, I ordered what I could off ECS and used the existing where i could, no problems. These are minor costs through ECS or local dealer.

Also want to note that i missed out a part down towards the front of the car when ordering, I didn't really find it a problem to be missing this part. I hope to get my etka running soon so i can verify this part number as I need to get a replacement front badge that was damaged by what i assume was a large rock.
