I am. Still waiting to see where the location is.


More intrested to see if a monthly turnout at wherever we decide is also a possibility.

Also,

BUMP

Even doobie partakes in a little bit of it lol.

I can vouch for that.

Have a giggle dude.

Turns out "search" is our friend

I've had this twice before. They waivered the first. Second time I drove to the guys house after they refused to drop the bill but did the same thing as they have to you, pay £49. The winning bidder for the same item the 2nd time round had ignored my "please don't bid unless you have the money...

No sympathy. I'm suprised the engine held up during that.

Just wondered if there was any way to reset this. Always tends to be the little things that bother me the most.

Is it a VAGcom jobbie to reset it or do I need to use a key, stalk sequence?.


Thank ya very much in advance.

OBD2 Vagcom and scan tools work. The 16 pin plugs that fit into the slot under the rubber under the handbrake. http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51gLqmqGZ4L.jpg&imgrefurl=http://dealnay.com/707088/elm327-usb-obdii-obd2-diagnostic-scanner-vag-com-can-elm-...

Very nice rides, Guys.

AHHHHH. Yes, that's right, I hve a low post count \:D/ . Still, I know this site isn't like that anyway. I'll put in my few pence worth, mostly about how much of a plonker I am. One thing I didn't do before jumping into the passat world was to "look". I fell in love with th B5 V6 Syncro of...

Windsor Blue Pearl Metallic Clearcoat...LN5Y.......1994 - 1999.

Looked in the boot. lol.


Has a black roof though, done after the car was produced lol.

Cheers very much.

Hi all. Today I had 3 smelly pikeys in a van, reverse into the o/s of my front bumper. After denying all knowledge and watching me screaming "no" and holding my hands in my head while they did it, they offered to fight me for it. Not fancying having my head smashed in by 3 6ft 5in fat b&qu...

Running 195/65/r15...steels.

JK, how long ago was that buddy?

I'm really intrested in getting an exhaust for mine. Did they need to take your car in for measuring?

Some of the performance exhaust companies out there only sell 1/3rd of the exhaust for the same price as you got.

Thankyou for that.

So it looks do-able.

Shall do some research and see what happens.

Just curious, I know I've asked about performance upgrades for the V6 Syncro B5. I also know that it is cheaper to plonk a 2.7T lump into it instead. I'm more curious about the aircon pump/pulley. Is there a supercharger out there that could be used for this engine or is it a shadey area because it'...

Insurance company not willing to pay up because of drunkeness surely means that he was driving without insurance and should spend his last 50 years being destroyed by men in prison? If being drunk means no insurance payouts, means no insurance cover. Can't be covered but not payout. They are insurin...

Are any of the bolts, one use only?

Great stuff mate. Hope you do too.

Cheers. Have spoken to him already.

450bhp and almost identical torque sounds brill. Just need to sourse an RS4 lump lol.

Well, I spent £7.5k in a year sorting out a Mk3 Golf VR6 to keep it running, and that is all I spent the money on. Discounts with the VR6oc also in this spending spiral. Always breaking and always expensive.... not tarnishing all of them with the same brush of course. Spent over 5 months of that ti...

Thanks for the replies.

I didn't know about the rear diff. I know when idling, trannys tend to turn slightly.


Hope it isn't a major issue with the car..... expense I mean.


Wife is in hospital as we speak, so it wouldn't be her lol.

Howdy doody. Bought a Passat on monday. Started engine tonight and with the engine running, a whine started up too. It disappears with a slight press on the throttle. But when the revs drop, the whine re-appears. I'm not familiar with Syncro vehicles and just wandered if the whine could be the petro...

Thank you very much for the reply.

Many many apologies to you all, I'm looking for the standard size.

What can be managed without forfeiting handling or too much acceleration.

In short, what's a good compromise?
