Very happy with my Samsung Galaxy S2.
Does all I need it to do.

Had a drive of a Monaro, when on holiday in Oz.
Lovely motor.
Years ago bought a MK1 granada 3.0 litre V6.
Paid £80 for it, ran it for 6 years sold it for £60.
Cheapest motoring I had for a long time.
Was a really nice car to drive.
Probably 1 of my best cars.

Welcome to UKP.
I wish I was in OZ. Was over there About 8 years ago.
Had a month in Melbourne, visiting in-laws.
Loved the place didn't want to come home.
Would emigrate over there tomorrow if I could.

Don't know the code, was beeing done at my local garage.
They told me faults coming up.
Car goes back in on tuesday for new thermostat & lambda sensor.

Hello fellow Hertfordshire hedgehog.
Plenty of help on here.
To sort out niggly problems.

Had the codes read & cleared on my B5.5 sport (petrol).
And a fault keeps coming up showing problem with cruise control?
Cruise control not fitted on my car.
Do any sports (petrol) models have this fitted?
Or anyone else had this problem? Know a fix?

Right I left the panel off for now while I sort this. Opened the tailgate yesterday & then it would not shut again. Tapped the solenoid & it moved. Works again. Was in local garage for engine management light & they had to ring VW for a part for my car. Asked them to get price for soleno...

Done it again sunday.
Looking today solenoid? is sticking on open?
Will this be solenoid or handle micro switch?
Having to disconnect cable on latch, & when I need to open tailgate.
Having to go potholing through back seat to manually release it.

Anyone got a how to seal up the ecu housing?
Passenger side bone dry, but drivers side front & back still soaked.
Cleared the plenums, but drivers side still wet.
Have not seen any more water ingress, fed up with steamed up windows.

Spotted a little bit of rust/bubbling on my 02 plate wagon.
Is on the tailgate near both number plate lights.
Is it worth going to VW dealer to see if 12 year warranty applies to this?

Sorted it today.
Pain to get lock out & back in.
Was the cable jammed/jumped on the cam part of lock & holding mechanism open.

It is most likely your locking mechanism. Our boot on the saloon did the same and it was just the mech. For now secure the boot as best as possible, cable ties on the inside. Them tomorrow have a good gander at what is going on. They mechs aren't expensive, i think about £20? Matt Will have a look...

Dropped some bits off at the mother in laws. Now the rear boot hatch wont shut. Tried doing the catch by hand with boot open, but it won't latch shut. Handle moves ok. Anyone else had this? Know how to cure it? Cursing now as its to dark to see. Extension lead don't reach the car. And cannot see the...

I tried the bonnet switch when my low oil level light came on.
I changed the oil level sensor & light still came on.
The cure was to disconnect the battery & everything reset, no more light on.
Made me wonder, if had wasted money on new sensor?

Ok bit pi***d off today ordered a used nearside blue mirror glass off the bay ..came today so excitedly skipped outside to fit said glass and it won't fit ... http://img.tapatalk.com/5eab8d16-28b2-dadc.jpg Half the lock tabs have snapped off for gods sake ! ...otherwise the glass is perfect and hea...

Give it a good scrub with some upholstry cleaner then i used some polycell mould killer from b&q to kill the spores to stop it returning. Thanks for the reply will have a look for the mould killer a.s.a.p. Had the interior valeted, but mould has come back. Currently have a moisture trap in the ...

Whats the best to clean off & get rid of mould.
Have some on rear belts & seat.
Had some trouble with water ingress that has caused this.

Dazzler.
What wheels are they?
They are what I'm after for my Passat.

Estate or saloon?

Does that matter? If it looks right.

Seen a few on ebay around £60 + .

Thanks for reply.
will ask the seller what model the car is.

Will a set of wheels from a 1997 Audi Quatro fit a B5.5?
Seen some on e-bay & seller does not know pcd or offset.

The past few weeks Ive had a couple of problems with mine that have affected the Mpg quite a bit. Exhaust, thermostat,coolant sensor. In that time ive also changed the oil , replaced the plugs for £££ iridium ones replaced the air filter , replaced fuel filter and cleaned the MAF sensor, however...

Start a build thread in 'Members Motors' :D Ohh and the B platform seems to just get under your skin without any real effort, just creeps under there and is a b1tch to get rid of :twisted: Matt Might do? Funny way to end up with a Passat for me. Had Fords before & Triumph's. Last car before Pas...
