Sliding Door - Volkswagen Caddy 2004 Self-Study Programme

Sliding door

The 2004 Caddy is equipped with a sliding door
reaching up to the roof on the passenger side.
The drivers side can also be fitted with an
optional sliding door.
The sliding door opens to a maximum width of
70 cm.
Only the Caddy Van with a glazed load
compartment can be equipped with a sliding
door.
The Caddy Shuttle and Caddy Life have sliding
doors a with windows.
Protection of the tank filler flap
The tank filler flap is located on the driver's side
just in front of the D-pillar. To ensure that it is not
damaged when the door is slid backwards, the
2004 Caddy has a locking unit when equipped
with a sliding door on the left-hand side.
Function
When the tank filler flap is open, a Bowden
cable attached to the tank filler flap activates a
rotating bolt in the locking unit. The blocking
latch connected to the rotating bolt is then
moved outwards so that the sliding door hits it
and cannot be pushed back any further.
