Hello all, I did carry out a quick search but nothing turned up which would answer my question. I am going to treat my passat to some new wheels! I am going to fit the following: 19 inch ET 35 5x112 pcd The width options are either 10 or 8.5. Has anyone ran 10inch wide wheels on theirs or would you ...

Cheers for the reply guys!

All sorted, finally got round to changing them today and all went well and both work.

Changed them to a smoked style so they blend in with the dark blue of the car.

Now roll on MOT tomorrow, hopefully not £££££

Thanks

Very good point

Don't suppose you have given any thought where the fuse is for the 'door mirrors'

Because they are led's not bulbs so you can't change them as easily, and they last longer, if they have all gone together id say your issue is not the LEDS. Good call, maybe a fuse on the unit that is not working at all. Does anyone know the fuse location for the wing mirror indicator (passenger si...

You need to replace the whole LED light unit. From memory they are around £22 each. To change them you have to virtually dismantle the mirror. This may help http://golfmkv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103242 Thanks dubber36, Just checked the link you posted and lots of details on there! Will give t...

Hello everyone. I have found a new love for music in my car, the last time was many years ago when I was 17 and bombing around in a Golf :) I was thinking about changing my standard head unit with an aftermarket one. Has anyone noticed alot of difference in sound quality on standard speakers?My Pass...

Thanks mate Im not looking forward to it TBH :(( Did you leave the carpet in the car and just renew the deafening? just one other question if you dont mind me asking, is the carpet one piece or is put down in two bits? I dont really want to cut it if I can avoid it cheers Hello, sorry about the lat...

If it's the same as the B5.5 then there are two nuts at the front of seat on the floor to undo. The take off the plastic trim from the rear seat rails - probably plastic caps over Philips screws. Slide the seats back off the rails and Bob's your father's brother. Oh and make sure that the ignition ...

Mind riot, when you get round to doing the headlight mods, post up on the forum on progress.

Would be interested to see what it involves.

You sound alot more able than myself, i would def end up breaking something lol

Hello Paul and thanks for the reply. Those are kind of what I am looking for but really want OEM style and not angel eyes style. I have heard that you can take the standard headlights apart and spray the insides but I am bad enough with just spraying wheels :-o Also someone did buy them from America...

B5.5 buddy

Hello, I did do a quick search but nothing came up. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get hold of black OEM style headlights for my B5.5. A friend of mine used the black style angel eyes and disconnected the angel eyes as they weren't to his taste but that is how he managed to get the blac...

Cheers for the ones of my blue b5.5 wagon.

Was a good show, next year for sure

Hello, i was there with my mates for the whole weekend. You managed to snap my blue Passat b5.5 (r14tob).

Cheers dude, I should have a star drive set somewhere. Will dig it out and give it a try.

Thanks for the reply

Hello, I was jacking up my B5.5 estate yesterday and the jack slipped :shock: (luckily not very high in the air) and cracked the passaenger side skirt. I have ordered another side skirt from VW and going to attempt to fit this on the weekend. Looked under the car and it seems to be bolted on in abou...

Thanks for all of the responses. After what has been said here, I am thinking of going down the tinting route. I will get another set of ligths and tint them so I can see what they are like and then atleast have two sets to swap around when I get bored with one or the other :) Again thanks guys and ...
