That little job wud take ua mere mortals a full day to complete. Good work. Tidy 😊
Thanks Karl 👍 only took maybe 40 mins in total all 3 mods, I do have all the tools and half an idea so have abit of a head start.
Get red neon lights under the footwell and on the outside would look mint in the dark
Great vids as normal . Great to see someone putting up a Vid that really is step by step 👍👍
Hey bud thank you 👍 I do my best to squeeze as much in without it being to long.
I’m well jealous fella 😂 it’s turning out so beastly and looks amazing. I love led upgrades in and outside
Hey bud thank you I absolutely love my little van appreciate the kind words 👍 I do like abit of red to 😎
I love how in depth you go when fitting stuff, it really does make a difference for someone doing this that doesnt know much. Cant wait until you rebuild this transit recovery and show it all 🤞, ill be the first viewer on the sofa with the coffee on tap lol 👍
Hey bud thank you appreciate that I do my best to explain without going on to long, I’ll ask my mate again if it’s for sale yet 👍
Your caddy is looking so sick nathan. Brilliant video as always
Thank you mick always appreciate you kind words mate 👍 I’m super happy with the van I use it every day and havnt been this interested in a vehicle for such a long time 😊
Excellontay Nathan, some super sweet upgrades and first class tutorial for the diyer
Hey Nigel thank you sir 👍

No problem mate my pleasure 👍
Ah ye, thank you for the video Nathan. Really like the steering wheel, gear lever and TT console mods 👌.
hey Karl thank you mate 👍 3 sweet little mods that where easy to do and took no time at all.
The little caddy has come a long way from what it was when you got it ❤
Hey bud 👍 it certainly has I havnt enjoyed a vehicle this much in a long time.
Love it , another great tuition mate 👌
Hey Archie thank you sir 👍
Always nice to have a nice steering wheel and gearknob 👍 i always used to upgrade mine back in the day. I bought a lovely Series 2 RS Turbo off my friend, G397VMP, and he had upgraded it to a 3 or 4 spoke RS steering wheel, it was too thick, gave me pains in my hand, swapped it back to original. 👍
Hey Phillip so you used to be a Ford man to 👍 hopefully you havnt told me that already 🙈. The 4 spokes do have a thick wheel my mate has the 3 spoke version
Nice ,that wheel looks lush ❤
Thank you mate I’m super happy with it 🤙👍
Yes mate great upgrades dude looks good nd caddy looking good, epic video
Hey Dean thanks mate it has pumped the inside a little 👍
Keep these vids coming!!!
Hey bud thank you appreciate that 👍
looking good mate love that steering wheel 👌👌
Thanks grant it comes for a polo, my first flat bottom wheel and it does feel nice to drive with 👍👍
Good stuff DT.
Hey Karter thank you sir 😎🤙
Ahhh yeeee class mate! Love it
Hey Roy thank you sir appreciate that 👍
Got the same gear knob on my MK4 golf
Looks great
Hey Clifford ye I super happy with it, nice feel on the hand 🤚
Top mod buddy they both look great love the steering wheel I got to get me one of them.
Hey Jason thank you mate it’s the first flat bottom wheel I’ve had and it does feel nice while driving 👍
I wish I lived closer bro!! ❤ your a proper clever fella! I have sorted the maxpower tickets brother! We're on for a great weekend 👍🔥👌
Hey rich thank you sir 🤙 ah ye sounds good 👍
Spot on there good job 👏 👍
Hey Thomas thank you sir 👍
Nice mods mate, looking good, what's next ha😂
Hey Neil thank you mate 👍 we are getting closer to it being all done, on the list still is the later mk4 rear bumper, arch kit and side skirts, oh and I do want some new wheels. But that should be it 🙈
battery idea saves a drink, good move Nathan👍
Hey warren ye made that mistake years ago and had to ask a favour to reset it 👍
Looks good
Thanks bill appreciate that mate 👍
I fitted that gear knob and gaiter to my mark 5 golf and I had to cut it down as well.
Hey Nigel I guess it’s just a generic gear knob and needs slight adaption to fit. Feels nice in the hand 👍
Love it.
Thanks Richard 👍
Bjr je suis très impressionner par votre travail bravo 👍
Bonnet stay on your wish list great video
Hey Matthew thanks mate and yep I have the bits I just need to weld a little plug on the slam panel and I can fit it 👍
Wow that steering wheel has made a huge difference, very similar to my T6 but yours has the flat bottom and obviously no controls. Your van looks great, bet you love the attention at shows. 😎
Hey bud thank you I’m super happy with it, most Vw steering wheels are interchangeable going to use the old one on my T5. I havnt enjoyed a vehicle this much in a long time 👍 thank you for the kind words
@@YTDTETV good to see you enjoying your van too. I’m torn with my vehicles, for years I’ve had Nissan Terrano’s and loved them. I had a skirmish with the big c so we bought a T6 that I’ve converted myself. Still got a Maverick that’s nearly 30 years old and love it but it’s excessive really as it’s hardly a classic car but it’s a survivor and a bit of a sentimental story to it as well. These vehicles get under our skin buddy.
Great video as always. Upgrades looking good. What armrest have you used? Or have upgraded the centre console?
looks well nice extras dte
Thanks Patrick appreciate that 👍
Great up grad
Thanks Andrew 👍
0100 hours, love a catch up. Sick mods
Late night DTE 😎
So much better.
Hey John sorry for delay thank you mate 👍
Welcome to having a flat bottom steering wheel 😀 . With the gear nob and the TT sides has just transferred the inside and made it look so modern and custom far play 👍👍👍
Hey bud it’s my first flat bottom wheel and I do really like it, the other mods where super simple and they spice the inside up a little 👍
Your van looking cracking. I like the gear shifter nice 👌 touch . My last caddy was a manual and that would have been a nice upgrade. I do like the DSG but prefer a manual on the back roads . But it took me ages to find a nice clean van and the one I found was a DSG , my left arm doesn’t know what to be doing. Need to get armrests fitted..
@@midnightrider6985 thank you I’m happy with the inside, I do like a DSG 🤙 don’t get me wrong being a driving man I like a manual but an auto does have its perks to.
@@YTDTETV
It’s remapped around 200 bhp quick in a straight line but I had more control in my manual one in bad weather and across country roads. My honest opinion is stay with the manual but very hard to find one over here that clean and not hard a hard life. I dove up and down the country for months looking for one and the DSG was the best one I came across. Have you done a video of the registration led bulbs ??
@@midnightrider6985 ye very nice 👍 as you say you do need the manual for cornering hard, I havnt got to the number plate lights yet but they will be very soon, I’ll tie that Job in with another one to make the video abit bigger 👍
I prefer a flat bottom steering wheel and it looks a simple enough job, I might try that myself, Cheers Nathan 🍻
I’ve never had a flat bottom steering wheel and it feels nice in the hands 👍 simple enough job I’m sure you can do it 👍
You're cool mate 👍🏽
Thanks mate 👍
Looks loads better mate.
Here he is, hello mate 😎 thanks for the steering wheel 🤙
@@YTDTETV not a problem bud… it was needed 😃
some audi rs3 vents would set this interior off nicely!
Yes mate I’ve seen them, they are on the list 👍
did you research the hid/led headlight situation ?
My MK4 wheel is looking shabby, I think I will just get it refurbed at 'Royal Steering Wheels'. Several people have recommended them to me. Dont know if I can get a gator that fits a MK4 though. Another great video man! 😁
Hey bud yes I’ve heard of them to 👍 a fresh wheel does make a good difference, the gearstick gaiters are very similar in most of the vags so I reckon one of these would fit 🤙
Alryt chum where did you get the sliver bits on side off the center console at gearstick. Or is that a different centre console
steering wheel looks mint mate and I've always wanted a flat bottom lol, TT grab handles is nest on my list. 👍
Hey max thank you mate 👍 it’s my first flat bottom wheel and it feels nice in the hands 🙌. I saw the TT grab handles in my mates van and such an easy little mod.
yeah mate the TT mod looks nice, did you just screw them in to plastic@@YTDTETV
@@maxthecaddy8451 yes mate straight in the center consol with 4 black screws either side, when you buy a set you’ll notice on the inside there’s some little centralising plugs sticking out, they just wiggle out with mulgrips so the grab rail sits flush against the consol 👍
nice one thank you mate 👍@@YTDTETV
Great video!
Please could you help me with a link for a 5 speed knob and gaiter?
Thanks!!
Love your caddy mate how did you fit the tt grab handles
Literally screwed them into the center console, on the back of the grab handles you need to pull all the little locator pins out with pliers or mulgrips. Thanks mate 👍
Takk!
Hey francis thank you mate 🙏 I appreciate it as you know 👍
Any more pictures of ths grab handles please?
👌👍😎
🙏👍🤙
Good vid do i have to take the seats out to replace center console for a touran one with armrest mk4...
Hey bud thank you it makes a lot more room taking them out and it’s only 4 bolts a seat 👍
@@YTDTETV cheers mate appreciate that 👍.
11k subs, ah ye!
Hey B-RY yep it’s still climbing 👍
I can make all combinations of golf mk8 style stalks, cruise on stalk or wheel, mfa on stalk or wheel, i can make mk8 golf/caddy hybrid squib / clocksprings with heated steering output. If anyone is interested let me know.
Hey bud sorry for the delay that’s interesting I’ll keep that in mind for future stuff thank you 👍
Is there a part no for that specific wheel I’ve been looking myself for one without the multi function for my golf plus
Hi bud unsure on part number I’m sorry It is slightly rare without the buttons but there is a couple on eBay.
Enjoy watching the mods to the Caddy.
The steering wheel and gear knob are on my shopping list.
The Audi TT grab handles arrived today, and I followed your advice and got one without the knee pads.
Just wondering how to fit them because of the centering knobs. Any advice?
Regards from Germany
Hi bud appreciate that 👍 those venturing knobs just pull out with mull grips or plies give them a twist and a wiggle and they come out, all of the come out.
Thanks, did you use M6 screws and nuts.@@YTDTETV
Forgot to ask did you remove the center console.
Also interested in how you fitted the grab handles, looks great.... And mine just arrived!!
great video bud would that wheel go on the t5 too loving the upgrades 🤙🤙🤙
Hey bud thank you 👍 yes the wheel would fit the T5, I’ll use the caddy’s old wheel on it for now till I can afford another one.
Great I will wait till you do T5 transporter my wheel done 241k lol 🤣 so needs a new one 👍 thank you for replying to hey ya 😎
i could fit those grabs to my E38,
Hey bud I reckon they would fit a number of vehicles as most cars have the same angle on the console 👍
@@YTDTETV oy yeh .
Wie hast du die Haltegriffe vom Audi TT festgemacht??
Any plans on changing the infotainment system and the HVAC controls?
Hi bud I’m not sure on how to upgrade but I have since changed the dials to the later style knobs 👍
Quick question were did you get the VW mat thing in the front ashtray ? Thanks
Hi Tom sorry for delay, there’s a page on Facebook called Vw caddy forum and there’s a guy on there that 3d prints them they are called coin tray inserts 👍
@@YTDTETV top man , thanks for the reply 👍
Ah Yeah
Thanks mate 👍
Swapped my steering wheel this week too. I have an airbag light though 🤔😭
Hey Stuart I wonder if it just needs a reset 👍
@@YTDTETV I'm hoping so, got a mate who has access to a Snap on scanner.
Just add paddle controls next i put a flat bottom st steering wheel to my transit custom
Hey Tony ye that be nice 👍 first flat bottom wheel I ever had a and feels nice in the hands 🙌
Are you putting a glove box cover on
I do want one 👍
J'ai une caddy 2007 1,9 diesel est mon rêve,de la transformer comme votre caddy rouge, part centre c'est une 5 place est deux portes latérales 😅
Install TT mk1 air vent 😊
Hey bud I’ve seen that mod and I have my eye on some 👍
Where did you get the wheel from looks brand new!
Hey mate I was super lucky and a good friend had recently put a new wheel on his van so had this one spare and it wasn’t long old 👍
@@YTDTETV make sense mate! I have my eye out on eBay for a new one in mine have an mk4 caddy but it’s the old plastic wheel. Builds looking ace though mate keep it up
@@hrzon2935 ye I know the wheel, I think the mk4 is the same fitting as these so plenty of choice out there, appreciate the kind words 👍
@@YTDTETV yeah toying with the idea of the polo MFSW and upgrading the SQUIB I have all equipment to code it in and if fitted a few on some mates cars just need to keep my eye out for parts at right price 🤙🏻
@@hrzon2935 I would like the buttons and them all working, yours will be sweet when done 👍
What year steering wheel is that?
Hi bud sorry for delay, I’m sure it’s a 2016 model 👍
Any update on the T5 🤔
Hi bud I’m literally waiting for the rear arms to come back from the sandblasters, he’s had them over a week. I’ll just use the wire wheel next time 🙄
@@YTDTETV will be worth the wait 👌🏻 I was a cheapskate & wire wheeled mine 😄
Hangi aracın direksiyon simidi
Vw polo 2010 ish
He needs more subs for fuel 😂
Haha that is brilliant 😂👌 it’s the first time the lights been on for a while honest 😂
That’s a mk7 gearnob
Hey glen I was unsure on model so thank you for the feedback 👍
Yea mk5 is solid under ball n more round mk7 has the hole n slightly slanted that’s what makes them taller
