Retrofitting and Body Modifications -> 4.7 Possibility to increase the load - only for money and valuables transporters for Your Volkswagen Transporter Van Fifth Generation (2003-2015)

a) Base vehicle: Box-type delivery van, wheel base 2,920 mm, short front section, however not for TDI engines.  
b) Base vehicle: Box-type delivery van, wheel base 3,320 mm, short front section, also for TDI engines.  
Within the scope of usage as money and valuables transporters, it is possible to increase the load of vehicles with the  
above mentioned scope up to 2,890 kg, if the vehicle is provided ex works with  
1) reinforced springs (Pr-No. 0J3 for the increased net load) and/or is appropriately retrofitted. In case of retrofitting, it is  
required:  
- the torque rods, front left and right of 701 411 103 J/104 J  
- the suspension springs (rear) 701 511 105 B of the chassis. (This is reasonable because the vehicle is then raised  
above the rear axle by approx. 20 mm to 25 mm).  
2) The vehicle is provided with tyres of the type 205/65 R15 and/or appropriately retrofitted. (PR-No™s. H6W, H6Y, or  
H6X). The tyre type 195/70 R15 C104/102 R (PR-No. H5T) is also permitted.  
3) The vehicle is provided with the ø54 mm - frame calliper brake, front, (PR-No. 1LE) and/or appropriately retrofitted. In  
case of retrofitting, the following is required:  
- The frame calliper brake, front left/right 701 615 105 F/106 F.  
- The internally ventilated brake disks 701 615 301 J.  
Note:  
a) The load of vehicles whose load was already reduced (net load class PR-No. 0J1) cannot be increased anymore!  
b) The vibration shock absorbers, front/rear, are identical for all three net load classes (Pr-No's 0J1, 0J2 and 0J3)!  
c) The usage of light alloy wheels is not permitted!  
Founded on this, the permitted front axle-load is increased up to 1,560 kg. The permitted rear-axle load remains  
unchanged!  
For this vehicle application, additionally reinforced vibration shock absorbers are recommended (PR-No. 1BJ). In case of  
retrofitting, it is required:  
- Vibration dampers, front 701 413 031 E.  
- Vibration dampers, rear 701 513 031 C.  
It is only permitted to equip the front axle with reinforced shock absorbers.  
c) Base vehicle: Chassis with driver™s cab  
The load of money and valuables transporters, which are based on chassis with boot attachments, can also be  
appropriately increased, if the aforementioned requirements are met. However, in this case it is required that our  
Development department (Abt. NE-GG; fax 49-5361-972917) approves of this measure within the scope of an  
individual inspection (specification of the centre-of-mass position for the permitted total weight; axle loads of the  
armoured vehicle - laden/unladen condition).
