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,

  • t5 bull bar

    Folks I live in Queensland, anyone know a place in Queensland that supplies air bag rated bull bars to multivan comfortlines. I live in the country and animal strikes are a big problem.

    thanks

      Wandaria,

      How is the under floor oil cooler going on the gravel roads? I was driving on several gravel roads during the Christmas holidays and I noticed stones wedged in the fins and some bent fins where stones had hit but nothing that seems to matter.

      I regularly drive at 100 to 120 on gravel so maybe the stones hit harder than for more cautious drivers but it (the cooler) does look very vulnerable.

        Wandaria........http://www.ettvehicles.com/index.htm, based in Sydney, build ambulances. Their T5 based ambulances often have a bullbar fitted...regrettably an over bumper arrangement....but what the hey, eh? I suggest you ask them where they get them from.

        The oil (?) cooler was one of the first things I noticed under the T5.......and thought was.......'vulnerable'. It really needs a perforated bash plate...

            Agree that Bocar are a likely option for a T5 but that model bullbar is for a T4 (which Wandaria doesn't have).

            A good bar nonetheless......a customised version (to reduce the size of the roo catching hole in the middle) of one adorns my own T4

              I spoke with a company in Brisbane, technically speaking the t5 bullbar will fit the multivan, the only reason they don't is because, waite for it, there are parking sensors on the front of the car, which would be covered/removed if you put a bull bar on them, but naturally enough if you come up with another way to attach them or remove them altogether then the t5 bullbar ( a nice alloy one) will fit the multivan. At least that is what they told me.

                Which company did the T5 bull bar?

                The only T5 bar I have seen is a nudge/A bar...

                    How about this one, not a full bull bar however better then most nudge bars.

                        Bull Bar Update

                        Reviving an old thread

                        A couple new bull bar options for the T5.

                        Formula Off Road - bumper replacement needs the plastic bumper panel trimmed in order to use the grille portion. They also do it in powder coated steel.

                          Baker and Priem have been doing a tubular bull bar for some time.

                          I'm not sure how it would hold up to a roo strike at 110km/hr...
