Good job!

The material around my door handles on my 2002 b5.5 sport is sagging - can you replace the handle and material part of the door with leather, or do you have to replace the whole door?


Can I just swap this part out?

Fitted the two front seats today. Super comfy now.
Found 21p when they were removed which was a nice bonus!

The old girl is going in for new rear calipers/brakes plus a service on Friday.

I'm determined to get up to 300K!

Hi Dave - Seats are brilliant - many thanks again for all your help.

Yes. R.I.P

Managed to get two LX comfy front seats from a VW/AUDI enthusiast called Dave from Markfield. The two seats were £25 each are are much more comfy to us than the sports seats. Dave has been breaking the Passat - not sure how many here still run B5.5 or may need parts. Here's the ad on ebay that I fou...

Love that interior! Great thread - thanks again.

My wife and I find the B5.5 Passat Sport 2002 front seats really uncomfortable on longer journeys. Our old Passat B5 LX front seats (pictured above...

Enjoyed reading all that! Thanks for posting.
Really impressed with the coke can solder holder too!

The reminder to take a photo before you begin is priceless.
It has saved me many times.

Glad you managed to spot the fuse!

That sounds frustrating.

My rear wiper is working - but no water. Checked connection in estate left hand side, no water getting through, can't hear motor.
Also 12v sockets in rear right of estate are suddenly not giving out any power??

I love this car. It’s like a part of me and I’ll never let it go Great pics - thanks. That's how I feel about my old 300k desert beige Passat. Just treated her to her third cambelt change. Last belt been on over 100k miles - I have been dithering about changing it, but it has flew through last coup...

I have very similar symptoms with my car at the moment. It's not long had new glow plugs, new battery.

Could it be the starter motor?

Thank you for the upgrade and the forum in general - it's helping me get my old bus hopefully to 300K!!

Nice motor - like that colour too!

It seemed to be the best overall choice and wasn't as expensive as I thought. Many thanks to everyone...

Much appreciated - thank you!

Many thanks for all the advice guys. Here's a few pic of the battery currently on the car.




What's the best bet for this spec?

Cheers

Pete

That looks like a very good reccomendation indeed!

Many thanks!

Is this a good battery for my 2002 tdi 130bhp estate? My battery is shot. It's been on the car for goodness knows how long. Is this a good price for a replacement that includes delivery or are there any other batteries I should consider? Thanks guys. VW PASSAT 1.9 TDI DIESEL CAR BATTERY 096 100 12V ...

Stunning!

Beautiful car - love the CC.
Anything you especially like/dislike about it so far?

Welcome!
How long have you had it? Been a good car? 1.9 or 2.0?

Many thanks!
