Re: lights not working

That's correct functioning isn t it? Why would you want both parking lights on? By parking light do you mean turn off ignition with indicator on and this leaves one front sidelight and tail light lit for parking on unlit road at night? Parking on the right would be an offence but I thought the car w...

Re: Anything you don't like about your Passat.

Yep it's that time of year when badgers and foxes lose their will to live and start lungeing out toward fast moving cars after dusk. Certainly up here in north Wales and Cheshire anyway...

Re: EGR

I don't understand need for blank pipes, when a gasket does the job so cheaply? So I'm also confused! :-)

I'm finding the new app on my ip5s is rubbish... Not loading pics or items and each item has a list of similar alternative items underneath sucking up data /ballooning the app. Grr

Re: Is ebay down?

Seems sale was not on eBay so he's quite within rights to haggle, especially as you'll save on fees! I'm looking at a new bike and the seller suggested we meet and agree something outside eBay. It will be inside eBay mate, or not at all. I like that I can pay by credit card, have protection there, a...

Whats your favourite beer?

I like the glenfiddich too. If you see the millennium bottling (white label) grabs it it's really lovely. Wish I'd bought more when it was available

Re: EGR blacking

I've run both. If your egr valve gets sticky and doesn't close fully, you will lose boost with attendant loss of torque and drive ability (egr will act like a waste gate) You can stop the boost loss by fitting a blank. If you fit the reducer and it helps with drive ability, possibly your egr is soot...

Re: Braking

+1 ... On my b5.5 must park on full lock and you can reach round there and get it out, clean with tissue/rag etc and push it back in. The sensor is set in a rubber sleeve, end will have rusty iron dust stuck on it.

Aerial upgrade

The antenna amplifier is at the back window, and is supplied by... The blue wire! Also, some passats have the am and fm plugs fitted the wrong way round (beige vs white?) so try swapping them over. My china rns has utter rubbish reception as well, I fitted a powered fakra 2-1 adapter. Some have said...

Re: Oil leak

Our engines can put oil into the fuel via the tandem pump, inj seals - I think a tiny bit will make it black. And if the spil sits on Tarmac could it make it stickier/thicker? I'm sure it has to be fuel...?

Re: Oil leak

If it's not coming off the back of the under tray from the engine/gearbox... Then it's fuel I think! Fuel tank pump is on driver side under bench seat, I think those hoses are fuel pipes.
