Volkswagen Transporter (T5) Tuning & Performance Parts

The T5 is one of the most versatile platforms VW has ever built. Whether yours is a daily workhorse or a weekend camper, the right upgrades make a massive difference to how it drives and feels.

We've stocked VW T5 parts from brands we trust and use ourselves: KW, Hardrace, HEL Performance, Heko and more. From coilovers and big brake kits to bushes, exhausts and remaps, everything here is chosen because it works, not because it fills a shelf.

Popular VW T5 Mods

A few of the upgrades T5 owners come back for again and again:

  • Coilovers and lowering springs: Tighten up the handling and lose that van lean. KW's V3 Comfort kit is a favourite for good reason.
  • Big brake kits: More stopping power for heavier loads or higher speeds.
  • Remaps and tuning boxes: Unlock what the engine's already capable of.
  • Braided brake and clutch lines: Better pedal feel, more consistent response.
  • Bushes: Hardrace and Powerflex options that sharpen up a tired front end.
Not sure where to start? Our team of enthusiasts can help you pick the right VW T5 mods for your setup and your budget. We've been doing this since 1989, and we fit what we sell in our own workshop. Browse, call or drop in. Check out our latest features and guides for more inspiration.

Frequently asked questions

What are the best VW T5 upgrades to do first?

The best first upgrades are coilovers and a remap. These two mods transform the T5's handling and performance without major mechanical changes.

Are VW T5 parts easy to fit at home?

Many VW T5 parts are straightforward to fit with basic tools. Items like wind deflectors and badges are simple, but coilovers and brake kits are best left to a professional workshop.

What is a VW T5 remap?

A remap is a software update to your engine's ECU that adjusts fuelling and boost pressure. It releases extra power and torque from the standard engine.

Are VW T5 mods worth the investment?

VW T5 mods are worth it if you want better handling, more power or improved braking. Quality parts from trusted brands also tend to outlast cheaper alternatives.

What is the difference between T5 and T5.1 parts?

The T5.1 is the facelifted model produced from 2010 onwards. Many mechanical parts are shared, but body panels, grilles and some interior trim differ between the two versions.
