Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Cargo Hold Partition?

    Hi guys,

    I'm a courier. Delivering in summer drives me crazy. When I open the rear doors all the cool air gets out. Then when I get back in the AC has to cool down the cargo hold as well as the cabin because I've just got a wire partition. By the time I get to my next stop the Caddy still hasn't cooled down.

    Does anybody know the best way to isolate the cabin from the cargo hold?

    Thanks.

    With our Toyota Hiaces vans at work we have attached a clear plastic sheet to the wire mesh cargo barrier to help with that problem. Not a perfect solution but it does help without the big outlay that a new fibreglass cargo partition/barrier.

      Interesting solution! ...and cost effective. That might work.

      Where do you get the plastic? Bunnings?

        Did the same thing with Renault Master vans at our work. Much better solution than a fibreglass cargo barrier. Much better visibility also. We purchased the van new & the dealer suggested a plastic sheet attached to mesh cargo barrier and also fitted it.
