For splitting front shock from hub I usually screw the bolt back in the threaded side 1st and put a piece if flat bar in the small gap at back of the hub. Tighten the bolt onto the flat bar and it opens the gap easily and there's less chance of your style tool slipping out.👍
Hey Kevin that is a very good idea I will use that in the future 👍 vag hubs don’t have thread in the hub but many do so thank you for the tip 👍👍
I have no intention of ever getting a Caddy or messing with one but I still find myself watching all vids in this series start to finish LOL Must be good content! If I was doing up a Caddy, these vids would be GOLD!
Hey B-RY 👍 glad you enjoy the videos mate. I enjoy making them so glad people watch them. Hopefully caddy owners find the videos useful.
You can buy darkside development shackle kit and will save time welding and won’t have to take the whole axle off plus also have the option of going back to complete stock
Hi Owen yes I’ve seen the bolt on kits but they move a lot, mine are welded solid and cost nothing. Thanks for the comment 👍
been running the darkside kit for over 60000km now and still flawless, but ofc free is always nice :) the bolt on kit just save alot of time , especially for people who dont have access to a welder ( Darkside kit in the back, TA coils in front , 2013 ED30 )

Brilliant look on that caddy, much meaner looking. Can’t wait for tomorrow
Thanks big sham I’m really happy with it, today didn’t go to plan 😂 tomorrows video will explain.
You really do go above an beyond! Looks excellent, the refurbed shocks etc make a while difference, good stuff bud, enjoy your weekend 👍
Thanks Darren, I do my best on every job as it only takes a little extra effort to do a nice job rather than a quick lash up. Thanks mate you have a nice weekend to 👍👍
Mate, if you had bought the spring saddles from Retrofication as well, you would have saved a lot of faffing about. Also with the new saddles you can fit them in situ, they also have an offset on the that the originals do not have so the axle sits central in the arch. Oh and the design of the new saddles means that the shock bolts fit straight in without any cutting or messing about.
Hey bud it cost me nothing to do that just my time 👍 my wheels sit central aswel. Thanks for the comment 👍
I've just got a caddy, can't wait to start arsing around with it. Very inspiring and useful videos thanks for making them😊
Hey bud thank you glad the videos are useful and appreciate the comment. Enjoy your caddy 👍👍
Thank you for the video. Definitely looks better stance with it lowered. Another excellent job you did there. 👌👍.
Hey Karl thank you mate 👍 yes I’m really happy with the height now. Thank you for watching 👍
That rear spoiler will be a nice finishing touch... van is looking amazing dude!
Hey bud thank you 👍👍 I’m looking forward to seeing the spoiler on to.
Always see these vans decked out on a set of rotiforms all though they look nice there is something about the standard oem dub wheels that look more classy. Excited to see how the remap goes 👍🏻
Thanks Jack I do like a decked out motor (to look at) but they drive awful. I like the bola b10 wheels on a caddy, other than that yes oem wheels always fit nice. Just finished the remap and about to drive it 👍 video out tomorrow.
@@YTDTETV nice one mate, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s upload.
Watched all of your caddy videos wow it’s come along looking sick,looking forward to the next one mate😎.
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that 👍 it’s definitely abit different to when I brought it.
@@YTDTETV great content mate and educational at the same time I’m sure my mrs begs to differ 🤣🤣
@@slicesausage2503 😂 haha brilliant my mrs bumped into one of her friends in supermarket and she goes cor all I hear at the moment is your man’s voice cos he’s always on the tv as her fella watches the vids to 😂. I try to help others out with what I know
Yep impeccable work as usual, thank you as always, peace 👍✌
Thank you Simon I finally starting using the van till the turbo popped.. I’ll get it back up and running ASAP 👍
Great attention to detail, and well explained
Thank you John, I sometimes wonder if I get lost in explanations so I really appreciate that 👍👍
This is my new favourite channel, I love it!
Hey Edward that is massive RUclips is full of good tubers so I really appreciate that 👍👍
Looking good, paint looks good to 👍 you're right do the hard jobs first 🥇
Niceone Phillip I’m happy with the height.. appreciate you input and comments 👍👍
@@YTDTETVNice to see a job being done right 👍 great tip for the hub. Work smarter not harder.
Mateee this is lush! Love the progress. Cannot wait to watch the rest, having to play a game of catch up.
Hi mate glad your enjoying the videos appreciate the comment 👍
That van looks the dogs now so so gealous you am a gifted man
Thanks mick really appreciate that 👍👍
Mate ur works next level this caddy builds unreal love the finish
Hey bud thank you really appreciate that 👍👍 todays remap didn’t last long 😂.. uploaded a generic map and didn’t even make it round the block.
@@YTDTETV if you’ve got a way to load the file
I’ll happily make the map for you
@@jcstuningltd I have KESS 👍 i don’t do remaps for customers I just brought it for my own cars. It’s the 2.0BKD TDI and blew the standard turbo today literally driving round the block 🙈. I’ve got a ARL PD 150 turbo in the workshop that slightly better than the one on it now. I’m fitting the same turbo I did to my golf on the caddy in a few months GTB1756vk. It’s running a FADR map and it’s really good. If you would be happy to write a map for me I’d be over the moon and will give you a massive shout out in the video. I have a standard BKD file I can send you 😊👍👍
Another good informative vid Nathan, your going to have the most sorted caddy out their without being too lairey.
Thank you Nigel, I randomly do long distance trips either picking stuff up, visiting relatives, fishing trips so when the time comes I want to jump straight in what ever vehicle I’m using at the time and know it’s going to make it there and back. With regards to styling yes I’ve seen a few caddy’s that are abit over done I just want the slightly pimped original look.
Think your getting it spot on, not a massive fan of over the top stuff myself, just don't get time to sort my own stuff lol.
@@nigelswann2873 it’s always the same, I use the phrase it’s like a builders house always bricks out the front and never finished. Is normally mechanics cars falling apart 😂
Just subscribed m8 really enjoying the caddy, proper tradesman nothing seems to phase ya..
Hey bud glad your enjoying the caddy 👍 I’m a Vw man so hopefully future projects will keep you entertained. Really appreciate your comment 👍
looking sweet now mate 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks grant mate I’m happy with it 👍😊
Should get a wheel alignment to to make sure nothing has changed, don't want to scrub those nice tyres!
Hey bud your right 👍 I did think that when I was doing it.
Just realised how much movement is on the ramp post once you get the van back on the floor 😮😮😮
Hey bud well spotted 👍 they move out loads once the weight is off 🙈
Looking ace now pal 👍 nice work as alway always look forward to seeing ur uploads evan more so at moment as am stuck in bed with trapped nerve i love the motor trade
Hey Carl thank you mate and thank you for always supporting 👍👍 oh man that don’t sound nice, the motor trade does twist you up sometimes. Hope you get better soon 👍
Keep up the good work love ur channel honest work u do
@@carlsiddorn3340 thanks Karl I enjoy making the videos and as long as you guys enjoy watching I’ll keep making them as this stuff is what I do every single day on and off camera 👍👍
You certainly do some thinking Nathan
I do spend abit of time just looking at stuff before I tackle it 👍
looking real good top notch van u must be proud dobo am gone
Thanks Bondy 👍 I am really happy with the van and really enjoying driving it.
How good is it to see it done differently, anybody can get a shackle kit off darkside and slap it on but this is top work have to say 👍
Hey bud thank you 👍 I done some research on methods of lowering it before I tackled it and knew I could do a factory looking job with what I had.
Very nice🎉
Hey Francis thank you mate appreciate that 👍
Hello,
Is it a service that you offer to people? Or is it was on your Van?
I love your work the way you do things just the way I like it spot on and you got a motor bike ❤️ I wish had seen your video before I replaced my front shocks. How did you get on tightening the centre bolts up ? As it very high torque.
Thank you sir really appreciate that 👍👍 I have a few bikes and plan to resto the one in the booth in a video very soon. For tight bolts I either have a big bar or a very high impact gun.
Looking at doing mine didn’t realise u need to do all that on the rear how can I get hold off u
That looks cushty mate
Thanks Sean I’m happy, appreciate your comments 👍
Does it make a difference for load carrying
Добрый день, может стоило задуматься о установке пакета полного привода?
🎉🎉 oi oi
Ah ye 👍👍
Hi is there lowered suspension that you would recommend without welding
Hi bud there’s a stance kit on eBay that are good for the money and don’t require welding 👍
Hi mate don’t suppose you know if 9j 19s will fit my caddy maxi ?cheers
Hi shaun sorry for the delay, i can’t answer that im sorry but the caddy pages on Facebook are really helpful 👍
