Just realised you have a B5 not B5.5 so No OBD port, it may be with getting a smoke test done that will show up any vac leaks.

Andymac on here is in your area im 99% he has a scanner but more importantly he also drives 1.8t

1. Could be MAF sensor,vacuum leak,plugs,coils,fuel,tutbo, ect ect.. where you based? There are a few of us with VCDS about if your keeping the passat you can get obd diognostics lead from ebay about £7 and can download VCDS lite. Someone on here will probably scan codes for you for a drink.. 2. Co...

Just make sure whoever does it knows what they are doing and has experience of de-soldering re-soldering chips, electronic tech may be a good idea if you some in Rotherham. Good luck bud.

Mine goes through the grommet close to battery area may even be through the matrix pipe grommet... then around battery if you remove the glovebox there is a grommet behind where it enters the cabin, but as your mounting on drivers side you may have to find access that side to keep vac hose shorter.

Well worth doing done all mine don't forget the one under inlet to re circulation valve there's also one under and to the right of header tank and the pipe disappears into the wing.. Had a smoke test done at Avontuning well worth it, I didn't have one leak they couldn't believe it they said every 20...

Ant, I got full kit from PSI tuning about £170 If I remember.. The cover will sit raised about 5mm on coil 1 closest to front of car I used some small washers to raise up the mounting to be able to hold it down you'll probably see what I mean if you convert, but I just removed the cover in the end ...

Get a £7 Halfords gauge pod and stick it the glove box like me

All about the stealth...

Il get a few pics up when back in uk

Wow that rods pretty screwed lol, Had a full stainless fitted on sat HFC & 2.5" system cant believe the difference and how restrictive the OE cat and exhaust is!

At that mileage with original cat (yes yours has a cat) it's most probably clogged up but it could be anything rings/sticky valve vac leaks ect ect.... Could try a cheap cat just get it as hot as possible before MoT.

To all UKP members & Admin,Happy Xmas and Boxing Day eve, wishing everyone a great new year now get off the interweb and get boozed up!!

Got my dipstick from TPS they wanted the part number off my old cracked one to make sure exact fit, think was about £7 but it was OE quality.

Looks awesome! Sure it will a vast improvement over standard.

Good news you got one sorted hope it cures your problem just a gutter you have to wait for delivery, Forge is 30mins from my door

Speak to Forge direct, I can't see why you couldnt use K03 actuator with there uprated spring...

Are they definitely genuine injectors? Markets flooded with fake BAM injectors.

I have ran my car on Tesco Momentum for over3 years my last fuel filter change I cut open the filter it was surprisingly clean, but its petrol... Storage of Diesel is different matter that's where supermarkets fail, now they have storage tanks that can last 30yrs!! :-o Alot of the customers I work w...

You DO need gasket sealant on 20v engines for the the bends where the gasket don't seal especailly around the can chain tensioner area, use a high temp sealant, there are loads of write ups and vids of how too's on this I did mine few years ago, make sure you get both gaskets Inner and outer with ha...

I wouldn't get French, German possibly Jap..

Most probably blocked PCV system.

When my brothers car did it we towed it for about 300yrds with him bump starting behind, it started up after the air is forced through

I would think so... it's very snug on airbox tho, looking at mine today I think there's room to put a reducer in. PM me your number il send you a pic of mine it's not very clear but will give you an idea what you may be able to play with.

That's identical to mine except mines black, I had to put a bolt in the top pipe tho. Fits snug and definitely better over the soft rubber OE TIP.
