The latest evolution into model T6.1 has made the VW Bulli even more desirable. No other large van evokes such an emotional response as the legendary Volkswagen that can be driven almost as casually as a car and is at least as cool as a trendy SUV. The ABT’s newprogramme for the T6.1 follows on seamlessly from the sales success of the T5 and T6 components. It all starts, of course, with the ABT Power performance upgrades that provide even greater driving pleasure due to the standard electromechanical steering of the latest Bulli.

The power boost based on the specially adapted high-tech control unit ABT Engine Control (AEC) is now available for the mid-range 2.0 TDI. This provides an increase from 150 hp (110 kW) and 340 Nm to 180 hp (132 kW) and an impressive 400 Nm. A performance upgrade for the top model with a standard 199 hp (146 kW) is currently under development. From the start of March 2020, amazing 226 hp (166 kW) and 490 Nm instead of 450 Nm will be available. The perfect partner to the newly gained additional power is the BILSTEIN Height Adjustable Suspension Kit from ABT Sportsline. This option was a popular order for the previous models and lends the bulky VW T6.1 an unexpected light-footedness and precision. The body can be lowered according to your personal set-up and aesthetic preferences between 40 and 70 mm. ABT suspension springs are under development and will be available in a few weeks.

With its narrower headlamps and large grille, the new VW bus exudes even more premium character than its predecessors. Attractive ABT Alloy Wheels add extra sports appeal. Here, customers can choose between the ABT DR in 8.5 x 19 inches – mystic black – or the ABT GR in 9.0 x 20 inches. The latter can be ordered either in matt black with diamond machined finish or glossy black with diamond machined rim flange. You want more?

The adjusters on Mini and other A Series engines are often worn, but rarely inspected. Wear makes adjustment to the correct rocker clearance difficult, but fortunately Mini Spares can supply rocker adjuster screws and nuts to make renewal a relatively simple job.
Even though Mini Spares own screws and nuts are reasonably priced some owners are still buying cheap imports, only to find that the ball is either poorly shaped or material specification and heat treatment are not correct.
Mini Spares own UK made 5/16” adjuster screws and nuts made in EN24T feature an allen key head. These upgraded material screws are sold individually without nuts, allowing the customer to specify either:
Standard Nuts (part no. NT605061) 19p inc. VAT

The N54, N55 and S55 engines often succumb to oil cooling problems, but M-Style has the solution in the form of the Mosselman MSL Oil Thermostat. The standard oil thermostat will reach around 120 degrees Celsius under normal driving. The MSL Oil Thermostat will open at a lower temperature (85 degrees Celsius) than the standard oil thermostat and will keep the temperature stable between 95 and 105 degrees Celsius, depending on the car model.
Installing the MSL Thermostat ensures a cooler oil temperature resulting in more stable performance, but most importantly it improves the reliability of the engine. M-Style highly recommends the installation of this thermostat, especially on cars that are tuned.
The MSL Thermostat is plug-and-play, taking only 30 minutes to install and is CNC machined from high-grade billet aluminum.
It is not an ‘always open’ solution. The MSL Thermostat will ensure the oil will still reach operating temperature (approx. 20°C lower than stock) in the same time as a stock thermostat.
Mosselman MSL Oil Thermostat for N54, N55 and S55 engines retails at £349.00 inc. VAT.
M-Style can also offer a fitting service if required.
Oil cooler kits for the 1-Series E8x and the 3-Series E9x are also available from M-Style.

Back in the day, the MG-ZR was praised for its handling (although some of its other features weren’t so popular). However, what was hailed as outstanding at the beginning of the 21st century can certainly be improved upon today.
The GAZ GHA kit for the MG-ZR brings variable ride height and bump/rebound adjustability to the party. It includes springs, front coilovers and rear struts. The GAZ damper settings can be adjusted whilst on the vehicle by means of easily accessible knobs.
Each unit is bright plated to resist corrosion. All units are individually tested and provided with a test printout before leaving the factory and
come with the peace of mind of a two year manufacturer’s warranty.
Kit number GHA357 retails at just £626.87 plus VAT.
A similar kit is available for the MG-ZS
