Saw this this morning:



T5 California, without an awning, on an AA truck.

We are an eagle eyed bunch when it comes to California’s.

I did wonder that, but it was on an AA truck, and I’m not sure they use AA trucks for general transport.

When our Cali was picked up and returned after having the roof done at Westbury in 2015, it was an AA flat bed truck use for both collection and delivery.

[ArunAlec]

Sure it wasn’t being nicked?

 

[sidepod]

What? No mention of the 12v kettle?

Maybe the right front axle shaft had lost it's teeth.
Mine did in september 2017, the day I arrived home after a 14 day holiday to the south of France.
VW put the shaft dry over the stub, and the Cali always sleeps outside, so the thing was rusting away it's teeth joyfully...

About 100 000 km driven, in 7 years...

 

[jts46]

that is exactly what happened to my cali in France

 

[TripleBee]

Too bad I think most of us have / will suffer(ed) from this one day...
Thank you VW for not putting things together the right way.
Just like the EGR valve/cooler... I was stranded in Sarlat-la-Canéda, where I wanted to be, so that was less bad.

But I can't upload a picture now because the uploaded file is too large for the server to process?
I compressed it , but it still doesn't work?
I post them later
