I have been talking with our local VW dealer about the beach.[model 6.1] The sales lady has confirmed that the new Transporter[I guess model7] on which the California was based is a joint production with Ford. Basically a Ford with a VW badge. If I understand correctly the Multivan will still be built...

G'day groovers,
Yesterday I took my yellow '08 Kombi Beach 2.5TDI (auto), to get a new exhaust manifold etc fitted. After 293k it had warped and done the broken stud "thing" so all studs get replaced ($4,700 + for any studs that need the 'easy-out').

I've owned it since...

Hey fellow VW enthusiasts, currently own a golf mk7.5 having recently migrated to Australia. I'm interested in buying the new VW California Beach and was keen to get your views on how it performs on the aussie roads.

Hi all,
I'm not extremely experienced with this forum, but did indeed research threads about beach driving on soft sand. It seems that the majority of the posts and experiences shared through here are from TDI450 models with 4motion, some with diff lock and some without.

I am looking...

Hi all, looking for a Kombi Beach in good condition. Would prefer a 4motion but not opposed to other. Ideally manual. Have a soft spot for the looks of the grey and orange combo but they all look good to me. Located in NSW, regular at Old Bar Festival and willing to travel. Cheers.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with their tiguan on the beach?

We are beach camping during the next long weekend (Albany). I'm wondering if we will need to park at the carpark and catch a lift with others?

I had a freelander2 a few years back and you just dialled...

Hi all, new here. Previously spotted a Kombi Beach for sale in QLD but was too late and owner suggested I register here for anything I ever wish to know about them should another come up

Dear Fellow Dubbers,
I am in the market for some add-ons for my 2006 VW T5 Kombi Beach
Does anyone out there have:

* 2 headrests?
Thanks in advance,
Van Tastic

Hi all

sadly selling my 1 owner 2008, delivered 2009 Kombi Beach. Has been a great bus but we don't use it for its rightful purpose unfortunately, so it's time for a small family car I'm afraid. We bought the beach in 2009 and it's been a fantastic car for us whether shooting down the coast...

Hi all. After owning my beach since new unfortunately the time has come to sell. We would love to keep it but the reality is that with a land cruiser it is pretty dumb to have 2 big cars, and it’s not being used for its rightful purpose! It’s going in for a roadworthy this week then detail and onto...

What do you guys do with your car keys when you go to the beach?

My previous car had small boot key. It didnt open the main car but only the boot.

So, I would put all my wallet and main car key in the boot and take this small water proof key.

Since I didnt get...

Hi, I’m looking for a Caddy for lots of reasons. Found the website through Google. Got my eye on an ‘09 Maxi and need to know if I can add the rear seats into it before buying.

Looking for a beach van, moving band gear and various other uses.
