Yep light on, but no beep.
The BBA Reman people told me I need to code it to the car.

Hi I Had to replace the whole ABS unit on my 1999 B5, had the dreaded abs light and beeping. Have fitted a replacement part, which I bought from BBS Reman. I am now having trouble finding someone to code the replacement unit to the car. I presume VW would be able to do it? Does anyone know of a code...

Hi Adjusters have broken on my Hella projectors, so looking at some after market ones as genuine are so expensive, if you can still get them? where can I source some Depo or the like? I don't want angel eyes, just standard looking projectors for my B5. Thanks in advance Steve Meant to say must be go...

Does the seat lock in place? Or is it moving backwards and forwards with a loose handle? ie: doesn't lock in place? My B5 would not lock in position. I undid the seat bolts, left the airbag connected and tipped it back to see what was going on. I also thought it was a broken cable, but turned out to...

Thanks!
Think I will try the Philips Xtreme Vision's. Easiest option first!

Hi I have fitted Genuine Hella Headlights which I believe are projectors? (Not sure what the difference is between HID and projector?) I run standard bulbs on both dip and high beam. My problem is the lights are not very good on dip beam. I think the lens must detract from the bulb! I adjust them up...

Now I know not many here would know the answer, but 7 viewings in 24hrs! Jeeze! it's time to move on!

Hi

Anyone know if the sears from a MK4 Golf or Bora will fit a B5 passat saloon?

Thanks for any help

I've gone to the dealers now. Over a hundred for the three part primed front bumper/number plate inserts.
I searched for ages, can't believe there aren't any non franchised suppliers of OEM parts left!

Anyone know where I can buy some OEM front bumper inserts & numberplate holder primed for painting for a B5?
Just wondered if they can be sourced cheaper than a main dealer!

I had a similar problem after I bought a set on fleebay. Turned out the part that the up & down adjuster was attached too had snapped half way down. I split the headlamp & glued a drill bit into the two halves that had broken, it was hollow fortunately. But you may be lucky & it's just p...

Looking good! ...Nice tidy car!
Congrats for car of the month on Passatworld by the way!

There should be two bolts holding it down! Look at your others???

I'd be interested in the door handles!

The part number on my drivers side net optic is: 3B2 867 172C.
I have a net optic ashtray available.
I'd be interested in the 3 passenger door handle trims in walnut. Got everything else!

Yeah thanks Matt.
I already have the original RS6 lockers. But I'm running 5mm spacers at the mo, so want longer ones.
Incidentally, the RS6 bolts are exactly the same as oem VW alloy bolts.

Where can I buy some 5 to 8mm longer lockers to fit OEM RS6 alloys?
I've searched fleebay, bloody useless!

cheers

Thanks chaps,
I do have broadband.
Seriously.... I don't need a firewall?
I have just forked out

Oops! Sorry don't know how I managed to put this in the wrong place!

Basically I keep loosing my AOL connection with Zonealarm running, but everything runs fine now I have removed the Zonealarm program from my PC. But obviously I want a firewall. So what is a good fir...

You mean just like the number I gave you in your scuttle cover post?

Barca where absolutely brilliant. Made *** utd look very ordinary. They out played & most importantly out psyched the team & manager that like to play mind games with the opposition & the ref! It seems to be all about getting them to spit their dummy, just like Fulham managed to do!

But your old passat sure does look purdy against those other two!

The scuttle cover number is slightly different to yours. The part number is from my invoice that gave me the round master cylinder hole.
