morzine365Hi all, new member here so apologies if I make a gaff…..we need a couple of things for our LHD VW Syncro Transporter van, specifically:
1) Any ideas where we can get an English language Owners handbook?….ours is in German and I struggle with m French let alone German. No problem if it’s for a UK RHD, it’s just for the basics.
2) The front passenger seast is a 1-person bucket seat…..anybody any idea if you can change this for a 2-seater passenger seat and if so where you have a chance of getting one from? And are they easy to fit or a specialist job? How does the seatbelt adjustment need to work?
Cheers in advance for any help!
Chris
no such userWhat age of van is it? Is it rear-engined, or front?
Chris SIts a 2000 & something T4

You can get them pretty easily, just make sure you get a late one with a three point belt in the middle. Also, if you have a Caravelle then you’ll need to remove, or cut down the speaker pod – the seat comes further out at the side to make room for the middle seat. Make sure you get the bolts that come with the double seat as they may be different to the single seat.
I do have an english handbook here, but I only have one – ask any questions and I’ll furnish you with any answers you may need, as best I can.
Chris SWhats the part nr on the handbook? it may be on the outer back cover bottom right.

My copy was one that was last revised June 97, so it may have been revised (and part number amended) since then.
Chris SI will ask at the dealer and see what is available.
morzine365Thanks for all assistance so far…..will try and track one down as it seems this should be an acievable swap!
