Volkswagen Caddy Service Repair Workshop Manuals
The Volkswagen Caddy is an M-segment leisure activity vehicle manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen since 1980. It has been sold in Europe and abroad. The Volkswagen Caddy was introduced in North America in 1980 and in Europe in 1982. The second-generation also had a pickup variant. Whatever variant of the Corrado you have, having a Volkswagen Caddy service manual can be helpful if you ever find yourself under the hood.
First released in 1979, the first-generation Volkswagen Caddy -- sometimes referred to as the Volkswagen Golf Mk1 Caddy -- is a coupe utility and van based on the Volkswagen Group A1 platform.
In America, VW was interested in breaking into the pickup market, and thus, VW released the Volkswagen Rabbit Pickup. It came with two engine options. The 1.6 L diesel and the 1.7 L petrol. One feature of the diesel version was that it came with a 5-speed gearbox, with the 5th gear labeled as ""E"" or ""Economy."" The Caddy actually was not named Caddy until 1982 when it was released in Europe.
The Volkswagen Caddy Typ 9K -- also known as the Volkswagen Polo Caddy -- was released in 1995. It was a light van, derived from the Volkswagen's Spanish subsidiary SEAT's Ibiza 6K and built on the Volkswagen Group A03 platform. From 1997 to 2003, It was built in Spain, at the Martorell factory of SEAT.
The third generation of Volkswagen Caddy -- Typ 2K Caddy panel van -- was unveiled in 2003, at the RAI Commercial Vehicle Show.
The Typ 2K shared 50% of its modules with the Volkswagen Touran and the Volkswagen Golf Mk5. The new model's design helped to improve its aerodynamics.
The versatility of the Caddy lineup is incredible. There are two body sizes: standard and Maxi. Both sizes can be configured as a Window Panel Van, a Panel Van, Kombi (spartan passenger version), a Camping (Caddy Tramper or Caddy Life Camper), and Caddy Life (family version).
A Caddy Life or Kombi is a five-passenger vehicle, while the Caddy Life Maxi or Kombi Maxi seats up to seven. The Life version has interior trimmings like that of a conventional five-seater wagon while the Kombi is a naked panel van with windows and seats. The difference in road noise between the two is described by some as substantial.
With all the variations in the VW Caddy lineup, it’s impossible to not have encountered one out in the wild, exploring the road less travelled. So when your Caddy breaks down, make sure you have your Volkswagen Caddy workshop manual with you to make the job easier.
