UKPassats

Just pulled all four plugs to replace with new ones and all four have come out without the crush washers.
Has this happened to anyone before and how did you get them out the spark plug well?

Threaded nuts . Need to replace.

When mine was making owl noises (1.8t) turned out to be a torn diaphragm in the DV.

I found it to just be the speaker in the rear of the cluster failing with age and the heat.

I replaced it with an identical 29mm speaker from eBay that was a couple of £ for two. Soldered the arms of the old onto the new and hey presto.

Danny at red hot remaps bricked my ecu and left me without a working car for a couple of days while he sent my ecu for repair. Still wasn't working when I received it back. Total of five days without car and still no remap. 1.8t apu.

Id imagine the A4 bar will be too narrow, as mentioned by bhodkiss earlier

I am actually a c5 owner. Only ever been in a passat twice. ;)

Could be maf issue. Unplug it and see if it drives better. It's inside the lid of the air box.

I would suspect O2 sensor .

Looks like I'll be doin the same!

Gonna get this next week. I am wondering how much memory is needed on the Xbox ? I only have about 4g left in memory space.

Me too managed to find replacements at scrappers but they never lasted. Ended up using ecutesting.com on eBay and made an offer of £80 and ended up paying £90.

Adam by this do you mean remove the rubbers top and bottom of the spring? How is the spring kept in place with them removed?

Is your car 4cyl or 6cyl and are the springs for 4cyl or 6cyl?

My wife has commented on the harshness of the 18's I put on recently. We where running 16's before.
The tyres are 225/40/18 but yesterday I notice an insignia with 225/45/18 and wondered what the impact would be If I was to increase the sidewall size.
Any ideas?

Hi mate, I use this.

Its in Russian so use google translate to change it.

But it does say do not solder. To allow for airflow ?

Sorry Cal but your wrong. i thought they where wires too but then i saw this, its on Boschs' youtube channel.

Yes am gonna get a genuine Bosch one but they make two styles one comes direct fit and the other one you have to measure the length cut the pipes and then use a connector to Marry the two sides together. No soldering involved. The 'wires' are actually pipes to allow air flow.

Car is throwing O2 sensor codes so gonna purchase a new one. There is a massive difference in price between ones that are direct fit and the ones that you cut n shut. Has any body tried the cut n shut sensors or are they a ball ache? Also is it a faulty sensor that causes the fuel richness or someth...

Kufatec are good quality.
