How to Build a Pull-Out Platform in a Volkswagen California T5

Model: Volkswagen Transporter T5, MK 5 - Years 2003-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

Let’s see how to make the most of the available space in a Volkswagen Transporter T5 by building a pull-out platform. In a vehicle like the T5 or T6, this is very simple as it already has the guides for sliding the benches. The guides can be easily found at Brico; they are from RAM Industrie, specifically model 83. Full extension ball guides with a load capacity of 120 kg can also be found on ram.industrie.com. Once these are installed, the rest is easy. Just obtain a metal or wooden board of the right size and proceed with the installation. The rest is straightforward and creates easily accessible new spaces in the boot.

How to Remove the Front Bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso?

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part. The new part can then be secured and connected properly, ensuring it is correctly fixed in place.
