Just one quick check

The T7 Multivan from 2022 uses the MQB car platform and follows the VW Golf service mode sequence. The T6.1 Transporter and Caravelle from the traditional commercial platform typically have wipers accessible directly without a service mode sequence. The California is available on both platforms depending on generation.
