Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today the Volkswagen T5 Kombi
how to remove the single seat in the rear I'll also show you how to remove the double seat right
let's get cracking it's really useful being able to remove the rear seats because it just means
you can get a lot more in the back of your Van and later on I'll treat you to a HULK OUT when
I try and remove the double rear seat this is the Volkswagen T5 Kombi here 'The Beast' and the
single seat is here on the left hand side now the first thing you need to do is go to the front on
the passenger seat and just move this as forward as far as you can so just pull on this lever and
pull it forward as far as you can then you want to turn this handle and move the backrest forward
this just gives you much better access when you're trying to remove the rear single seat
because it will hit against this well that's enough and there's a link above now about
the things that I love about my Volkswagen T5 Kombi, slide this lever up and then tilt the
seat forward now the headrest will hit on the front seat so just remove the headrest quickly
just push that button there just slide it out put that somewhere safe
what you do now is just pull up on this quick release lever here that tilts the whole seat
forwards now it's not actually released at this point it's just ready to be released
then what you need to do is climb into the back of the Van and you're basically sliding
it towards you you're pulling it towards you and lifting it upwards there we go the single seat
is removed now this actually isn't too heavy fairly simple to remove this on your own and
there's a link above now about how to replace the battery on a Volkswagen T5 to remove the
rear double seat it's much easier to do this with the backrest down so just pull on this strap in
the middle there's also one at the front of the seat and then fold it down so it's nice and flat
pull on these two straps here one on either side then tilt it forward again the same as
the single seat you're pulling it towards you so sliding it towards you and then lifting it upwards
now this double seat is really really heavy you can just about manage it on your own it's
much better if there's two of you if you're actually going to be taking it out of the Van
I recommend there's two of you to help do that once you've done that you can then go
about your day and do your removals earning a nice bit of hard-earned cash then when the
day is done you can come back and refit the seat so we'll refit the double seat first
Best thing to do is just line it all up as close as you can this is awkward because it's
very heavy and there's a link above now about how to reset the service light on the Volkswagen T5
get it as close to those bars on the floor pan as possible
and then we're going to be tilting it forward and sliding it into those
bars with the grooves on the bottom of the seat
so we're reasonably close there and what we need to do is just tilt it upwards
and when you've got it tilted upwards you're literally sliding
those brackets on the bottom of the seats underneath those bars there
and that just clips underneath there so it's just a bit of wiggling about
don't try and force it should just naturally go in
good stuff then to lock it into position use the weight of the seat and just let it drop
fabulous and once it's locked into position you've got these two green
tabs which pop out and that means it's locked securely into position
you can then move the backrest back into position to pull that strap and then lift it up
and now we're ready to install the single seat back in
this is a lot easier because it's a lot lighter
again this is exactly the same as the double seat you're lining up with those bars
and you're putting it in slightly further back sliding it forwards
and then dropping it down and there's a link above now about how to replace
the pollen filter in a Volkswagen T5 you should really do that every year,
so when you're happy it's locked in with the bars at the front just let the weight of it drop down
fabulous and there it is in position and again these two
green tabs one on either side shows that it is securely locked into position
then just pull on the lever at the side upwards and lock it back into position remember to put
the headrest back in remember to slide the front passenger seat backwards and adjust the backrest
again. Now I didn't know how to do this at first I was literally just trying to lift it vertical
and that actually does force you into a HULK OUT out and here is my HULK OUT...[Growling]
And I hope you enjoyed that HULK OUT sequence
just got time for another cup of tea and a hot cross bun
