I'm collecting my pre-owned T5 California shortly from a VW dealer.
I found the check list below on another thread.
Do you have any other tips of things that I should absolutely check before I drive away? Anything owners wished they had checked on collection and didn't? Anything that should be there, but can go missing? The only ones I can think of adding are: corrosion, damage to the canvas, shelf clips in cupboards and plug for the sink!
What's the net for the pop top? A separate mosquito net? I had a Mazda Bongo before, no separate waterproof cover or net required.
Regards,
==================================================
Items
Locking Wheel Nut (ashtray)
Jack (rear left compartment)
LED Flex light for pop top (quite common for these to get nicked apparently)
Magnetic Front blinds/curtains, in the 3 seat beach they are under the seat in one of the 3 drawers (check all 3 are there).
Multiflex board and cushions
Small removable Bin in drivers door
Net for poptop.
Mains converter for hookup (but no actual hookup cable?)
Table in door, check clips for fitting inside are complete.
Chairs in rear boot lid, check they are working and the clips are undamaged.
Bottle of oil (made me worry it was going to eat oil but so far its fine).
Spare wheel (depending on your wheels?) get a sparesafe for it asap! Especially if going to legoland.
Key Procedures/Questions:
Raising and lowering the roof (front windows open and sliding door open)
Turning front seats (get this wrong and you can scratch your trim)
Alarm internal sensor disable process
Moving the rear seat and turning it into a bed (lots of trial and error) recommend to mark the location on the rail with a dot or tape to save wasted time later on.
Check the blinds are all good, some of them don't stay down very well.
Get them to show you where the EHU trip switch is, its a pain to find if you need it.
