Retrofitting and Body Modifications -> 4.5 Retrofitting of Standard Seats for Your Volkswagen Transporter Van Fifth Generation (2003-2015)

E. Retrofitting of Standard Seats in the Passenger Compartment/Boot  
Space  
The floor layout of the box-type delivery van and station wagon is identical and  
is suitable for the subsequent mounting of standard seats (wheel base 2,920  
mm: 2 rows of seats/wheel base 3,320 mm: 3 rows of seats)  
The retrofitting of standard seats according to the requirements of the  
appropriate series type is only permitted with the upgrading  
equipment/accessories.  
It is possible to realise deviating seat arrangements and wooden floor plates  
combinations (to a limited extent).  
It is also permitted to install aluminium locking rails on the rubber/carpet or to  
install a latch for fixing wheelchairs (to be inserted in a wooden floor plate).  
Generally, it is not permitted to upgrade our standard rotational seats with lap  
belts (to be performed by the attachment manufacturer, for example). In this  
connection, so far no tests have been carried out.  
Detailed information on scope available on request.  
Note:  
a) Fastening lugs on the boot-space floor of the station wagon/box-type delivery  
van are not available for PR-No. 6B0! (concerns only the home market; for  
exports: add option).  
b) If seats are missing in the passenger compartment, the heater core will also  
be missing there (the so-called 2nd heater core).  
In addition to the 2nd heater core, vehicles with TDI engine have another add-on  
heater (a burner keeping the heating circuit at approx. 85°C). If the 2nd heater  
core is not available, then also the add-on heater will be missing! Retrofitting  
the 2nd heater core and the add-on heater costs approx. DEM 4,000 per  
vehicle!  
A maximum of 3 seats/row of seats is possible. In general, the three-point  
seat belts of the external seats (left/right) must be linked to the fastening points  
of the side walls which are provided for that purpose. Integrated three-point  
seat belts at the seats are generally not permitted. Lap belts on all seats are  
technically feasible, provided that the appropriate national regulations permit  
this option.  
* The side walls of the box-type delivery van are not prepared for the  
installation of three-point seat belts.  
Retrofitting possibilities are available on request.  
Note: Subject to errors and technical amendments. The electronic version of the body guidelines is the decisive source of up-to-date data on body guidelines (online body  
guidelines). Data status August 2007
