I found mine was very hollow, as soon as I put some stuff into it all that noise went.

That's interesting. I have only have very light gear to put in it, so might try some heavier stuff. A solid bulkhead is no disadvantage to me as I have the rear black glass. No idea why they gave me a rear view mirror, totally defeats the purpose.

You might find it tricky to get a solid bulkhead. Pretty sure when I needed a van with one, my dealer had to order a high cap model as well as the 600kg version I ordered, and swap the bulkhead over.

Can't remember why I didn't order a high cap, but that's the only model that came with a full bulkhead as the rear windows are opaque.

Rather strange set up - wasn't available as a part at the time.

You can buy them on ebay.co.uk

Cheaper version

Proper soundproofing version

Possibly get them cheaper elsewhere, must research further.

Will that definitely fit? 2004 + model would be the old model. Right pain to find out it doesn't fit when it arrives.

I thought the current model came out in 2004? It was face-lifted in 2011, but that was only the headlights?

So you have the plastic, grated type bulk head in yours as well?

I have clear rear windows, would swap for tinted any day!

I've 4k done on mine. Once or twice it was a bit slow to start (Ie. you could hear it turning a couple of times) but other than that it's been fine. Power is fine to be honest, you just have to know your limits.

That's exactly the bulkhead I have.

The tinted rear glass look nice, but a disaster trying to reverse. It's of no use to me anyway as I'll be putting a logo on the back and part of the logo is black. I'll have to whiten the whole rear window.

A bit disappointing to hear of the starting problems. Doesn't sound anything major though and you have a 3 year warranty. I think the new 1.6 VAG engines are proving to be very reliable thus far.

Good to hear. Sounds very minor.

Being able to see out through the rear glass is a major plus. I'm still looking in the rear view mirror. You don't realise how often you use it, until it's gone. Parking is a bit of a nightmare tbh.

Yeah, that makes sense as my bulkhead is the same and I can imagine that problem. Still, better than looking out at nothing at all!

Excellent stuff! I was only thinking about a cheaper/temporary version today. Will look into this.
