Fitment questions

Will an anti roll bar from a T5 Transporter fit my T6?

The T5 ran from 2003 to 2015 and the T6 from 2015 onwards, and these are distinct generations with different subframe and suspension geometry, so the anti roll bars are not a straight swap between them. Even within each generation there are diameter and mounting differences depending on payload rating and engine, so you should always confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker before buying.

Does the anti roll bar differ between a T5 and a T5.1 facelift?

The T5 received a significant facelift in 2010, often called the T5.1, which brought suspension revisions alongside the styling changes. Anti roll bars from pre-2010 and post-2010 T5 vans can differ in diameter and end-link geometry, so a bar from a 2008 van may not be a direct fit on a 2012 van even though both are called T5. Confirm the exact specification against your registration with the breaker before purchasing.

Does the anti roll bar change depending on whether my Transporter is a T28, T30, or T32?

Yes, this is one of the most important fitment factors on the Transporter range — the T28, T30, and T32 designations refer to the gross vehicle weight rating, and heavier-rated vans were often fitted with heavier-duty running gear including thicker anti roll bars. The payload plate on your van is the most reliable guide, so tell the breaker your exact GVW rating along with your registration to make sure you get the right bar.

Does trim level affect which anti roll bar I need — for example, does a Kombi or Caravelle need a different bar to a panel van?

Trim level and body style names such as Kombi, Caravelle, or Shuttle do not in themselves dictate the anti roll bar specification — what matters is the generation, the GVW rating, and the axle position (front or rear). A Caravelle and a panel van on the same GVW rating and generation should use the same bar, though the breaker should always verify against the registration to rule out any build-specific variations.

Will a T6 anti roll bar fit a T6.1?

The T6.1 facelift arrived in 2019 and brought updates to the front end and electrical architecture; whether the anti roll bar itself was changed between T6 and T6.1 is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration, as mounting points and link dimensions could differ. Do not assume compatibility across the 2019 facelift boundary without checking.

Do I need to specify front or rear when searching for a Transporter anti roll bar?

Yes — the Transporter has separate front and rear anti roll bars and they are completely different parts, so always specify which end you need when contacting a breaker. The front bar is particularly size-sensitive to GVW rating, so have your payload plate information ready along with your registration number to help the breaker identify the correct part.
