Re: TDI cruise loom ever fitted from factory?

But also once fitted you need vagcom to turn it on at ecu. If you have to get loom and follow how to on here it's easy. About hour and half in time. My bui...

Re: B5.5 2001 clutch and fly wheel time. Where's best

It is mapped around 160-170 just looking for a reasonable clutch I see darkside do luk ones for £350 all including clutch, fly wheel and bolts which seem reasonable. I'm sure if I looked at organic it goes up steep in price.

Wheel centering plates

Do they do them for b5.5s as when you lower them the position of rear wheels look daft. I've read about the kits for golfs etc but would they fit b5 platforms or is there as pacific kit

Re: major help please :(

Have you taken the scuttle panel off and found two pipes going into car? If not one of them pipes has a small hole that you slide pipe back just enough to bleed the system. Keep it back until water flows steady out of it
