Love these wheels what are they? was thinking of getting some of the audi a8 fat fives but these are just as nice. Just realised it changed doh. they are 5 spoke on a black b6

One of the small draws next to the hazard light switch is stuck in. You can see its been pushed and stuck in that postition. Is there a way of releasing them without damaging them?

I was told that vw recognized there was a problem with the tail gates and changed a metal fixing that caused the rust to a plastic type after a couple of years. Surely if this is the case it should be covered. I'm going to vw next week for an inspection on my wing and tail gate.

Cheers did wonder if it worked the same way, just never changed a wind in caliber before.

my wipers seem to be playing up. On every setting they get to a quarter sweep and just kind of judder on the spot. Any ideas?

I'm going to replace a rear caliper over the weekend and was wondering how you get the caliper piston to come back out once its been wound in and fitted.

Hi there

Had my other pd130 sport passat remapped and although it feels smoother and gained some torq it dont feel that much quicker. I'd like to try a different company this time for my b6 sport tdi, Any suggestions?
Must be within Northants.

That's the one. It's a stunning colour in my opinion and looks black in the shade.

Could anyone tell me exactly what I need to add cruise control to my tdi sport 2005?
Thanks

Got it now mocha brown, thanks

I have a b5.5 sport tdi which i've had for a few years and very attached to, however a guy at work has a 2005 b6 tdi sport estate which i've also always liked (stunning colour and almost mint). It's now for sale at an attractive price. I do know that since he's had it, its had new electronic hand br...

I'm currently thinking of buying a b6 passat (2005 sport est tdi), i've being trying to find the colour on the internet as its really strange. Dont get me wrong its very nice. It looks black in dull light but when the sun shines on it it turns like a beige. Any ideas? (it is a factory colour)

Does anyone know if its a simple job though?

roughly £100 for 2 new calipers and around £38 for rebuild items.

I'm thinking of replacing the pistons and seals in my rear calipers. One started sticking and the seal is just about f-ed. I greased and free'd it up but its only a matter of time before it does again. Is this worth doing and is it an easy job?

Does anyone know if all the b5.5 rear calipers are the same regardless of engine?

Great thanks

It is because the adjuster screw / worm drive and mechanism within the caliper is sticky / partly seized. Do what I described above to free it off. You can apply the handbrake on and off with the caliper off as well but no more than ten times from a fully retracted piston. Repeat the wind back, han...

cheers

Hi gizmo I've checked it out and yes your right the cable is not returning back far enough and sticking. Infact the spring looks as if its lost and strength. I sprayed and worked it as much as i can but it still sticks slightly. The other side returns perfect. Although the handbrake lever feels fine...

cheers guys!

which way winds in?

I noticed a week or so ago that my handbrake (lever) felt different. Usually there is tension on it from the start but all of a sudden there has been free movement in it untill around a third up. i jacked the car up in both rear corners and it appears that the drivers rear seems to have slight tensi...
