    Hello! Really appreciate your journey with the Up! The brazilian made VW Up! It's a few centimeters longer to fit a slightly bigger fuel tank and trunk with a traditional metal door (not full glass). The rear windows also roll down like in other cars. This changes were made to make the Up! a bit more travel friendly, since brazilians travel long distances even if they have a small city car and often carry people in the back. It's noticeable when you use the car but hard to tell from pictures. Still the same car in terms of platform, powertrain, interior and exterior design.

    man that was super cool. Maybe a bit of an unrelated question, but are you happy with the quality of the tools you used? I noticed they are the Parkside brand, which is also sold in Lidl with relatively good prices, and I have been wondering if they hold up well for projects like yours

    Awesome video! Just out of curiosity, was there any reason to why you did not remove the back seats for some extra room?

  • @ZoefontheMove

    @ZoefontheMove

    28 күн бұрын

    Because I wanted it to be able to quickly convert it back to normal car. The front seat is only 4 bolts. And another thing I took into consideration, was when you remove the rear seatsa few times and put it back, it is going to rattle over time. My car is completely silent inside on uneven roads 😅 But I must say, I did expect to have more space. Read: less stuff with me. I was a bit over-prepared 😬

    Excuse my surely stupid question, but why the power bank for the Diesel heater? To start it, or does it need permanent electricity for its pump?

  • @ZoefontheMove

    @ZoefontheMove

    2 күн бұрын

    Because it needs to start up the combustion. That takes a lot of energy. After it's running properly, the power draw drops and is only for the fuel pump and the fan.

    Dat valt wel mee tegenwoordig. Als hij droog staat te maken krijgt de motor geen brandstof meer. Denk dat er condens bevroren is, en iets stuk gemaakt heeft. Hoe dan ook, hij doet het weer nu!

    Why did the heater not run off 12v??

  • @ZoefontheMove

    @ZoefontheMove

    11 күн бұрын

    It did, but it needed more than 10 amps that you would get from the accessoiry plug on the Power Station. So I needed an inverter that would connect to the 230V outlet on the power station, and turned it into 12V again, but now with 20+ amps. The heater had a label on it with >17 Amps.
