UKPassats

Looks like they just fell off the back of a saxo.

lol that was my worry

hmmm will have to keep looking , thanks for the input guys

need some thoughts and views , in my un-ending search to find some tail lights to "enlighten" :D the rear end of my b5 , i have come across some led ones , just need some opinions , good and bad as i do not want to end up looking like one of the "Plastic Fantastic" halfrauds poss...

couple of questions as i am still new to passats , what size are the front discs ? are they 288 mm ? i had a vr6 before and was looking into the 312 mm upgrade and on a golf it was fairley straightforward , mine was an early one so i needed to get later obd 2 calipers (from 288 mm disc size) or mk4 ...

how can you guys be watching these things !!!


have you never seen Day of the

PMSL

i would agree with the sold as seen line , i would also add be a bit careful with the helping out side of things bit harsh to point out but be careful you dont end up inadvertantly giving him something he could use against you , but do agree to damage something in 2 weeks he has not respected it.

was looking at these myself , as def like the one piece set up , was also thinking down the lines of changing the strip light bulb/led to some amber led's for an indicator , if you get em before i do post up what qualitys like

thanks , just after something thats not gareish just bit more modern looking and subtle realy

have to admit was a bit of a let down for and end of season

true i spose , if i can get me tig welder then may be tempted then at least i can make up bits that i would need rather than buying them , but a bit excessive to by a new tig to save a few quid on parts lol , but a good excuse for a birthday prezzie lol

thanks for that , me thinks its going to be better to bypass the cheaper , like i thought cheap aint always value by the time you finish up

cheers

mines a jan 2000 B5 so must be start of changeover def got a sensor had a look behind headlight and its sits in pipe/intercooler on top left of intercooler as you are looking into engine bay.

Anyone had any experience with this sort of kit as it seems quite cheap and cheap aint always value http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PASSAT-B5-1-8T-20V-TURBO-INTERCOOLER-KIT-FMIC_W0QQitemZ180389754341QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item2a001135e5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14" onclick...

just after peoples thoughts on oil as i went to vw yesterday to get oil and filter and was told that they still list the synta silver for a 1.8T so went away with 5 litres and a filter , upon reflection however and reading all the bits about oil sludge and the like and also the fact that every other...

what engine you got?

just a 1.8t no mods just alot of regular vw history

On my way back from VW this morning come across a chav in a new mini cooper S , the usual pushing right up behind trying to hassle you, just before some dual carriage way had to pull out and round a cyclist and he thought he would be clever and pull up the inside of me :mad: so get to some red light...

no worries thanks for advice , babelfish here i come

been searching all day on the net , does anyone know if there is an m3 style smoked or clear available for a B5 ?

as above realy , anyone in the exeter ish area have vagcom and be able to spare a bit of time just for a quick scan so i can get an idea of any issues that may be there

just my 2p worth but in ref to tesco fuel , i had a fueling issue with my mK3 vr ended up being a pump relay but during solving the problem i had the pump out of tank and found small metal particals in tank (plastic tank) i had been using tesco fuel since i bought her as it was close but after that ...

am very happy with it , 2 owner 129K with FVWSH some very minor scratches but nothing to write home about and at the moment everything works lol

my last experience is that if its synta from vw its cheaper than alot of aftermarket stuff , think the last i bought was silver for my VR (double check your own spec required) but a 5 ltr was under

Managed to get a couple of basic pics (please excuse camera phone quality) this morning so thought i would post em up and will get some more as soon as i can :grin: http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/valarius_photo/picture-1.jpg http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/valarius_photo/picture.j...
