5 Steps to REPAIR and UPGRADE Your T5's Suspension and Audio System

Video Description

#AD With help from eBay Assured Fit, I transform my tired old T5 removing all of the bumps and clunks and squeaks from the suspension and by upgrading the old stereo to an up to date (double DIN) screen with GPS Sat Nav, DAB+ Radio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Bluetooth connectivity and even a reversing camera! I also find a really simple fix for the age old problem of no 12v ignition feed from the standard VW stereo DIN sockets with a low cost but invaluable product. I even use magic to fit a pair of new wind deflectors! As always though, the question is how long will it take to do these 'quick' jobs and have I ordered the right parts and will all of those parts turn up in time? With eBay you can find the right part, at the right price.
