Like this, they use 'Em when the big gear stays on site, watch the counterweight truck pull out after the crane

Thanks Warb, but I think jase may have meant it wasn't a caddy.... It's a frog version.
I thought I would find a gazillion pics online without turning my pc on, but no caddy's in sight
Here's another runback car hitching a ride and it ain't a freaking caddy either

Apparently, a regular problem with DSG models, there is a cooler above the DSG that lets go. It destroys the DSG, and will require a new one.
If the car is under warranty, its not a problem, but if you are forking out for it...it'l be expensive.
Scott on DSK just bought a new Caddy, and the 17" repro Fuchs bolt straight onto it. Looks good.

I had my patience tested…….It is negative.

Kewl I know what'll work nice
Was looking at using them on my T4 a little while back
I'm scared my fibreglass addiction is becoming a real problem

It seems all of the Euro crane spotters are not so interested in taking pictures of the Schwertransport Begleitfahrzeug, or heavy load escorts and the big cranes get all the pictures....
And the company my buddy works for seem to have replaced some Caddy's with Wog and Frog versions...
Here's what I was talking about with the runback vehicles....
Here is some other Caddy's being used for the same thing
Here's an older Golf doing the piggy back
A Wog version
And then some cool looking Caddy's
That bottom one looks seriously cool for a wasser pumper

I've driven a 1.6 petrol and it was pretty gutless, my t4 TDi goes better. I'd imagine the 1.9 TDi would be a better way to go.
Have a look here, some cool ideas http://vwcaddy.net/forums/index.phps=b9 ... d2&act=idx
cheers, Scotty

We use the Caddys as company cars....all TDI and DSG
3 x maxi lifes with the seats removed to fit more stuff in and my Caddy life short wheel base. Yes I run 17" Fuchs with 225 tyres. I'll post the pics after the lowering kit is in. A bit embarrassed about the altitude at the moment but the fix is on the wasser from the Fatherland.
