Steering wobble/violent shake!

Hi everyone! I was driving down the M5 today, cruise control 72mph for about 1 hour. I had to brake/slow down because of the road works when suddenly the steering started to shake violently.

Side mirror indicator

Hello everyone! I tried to do a search on here but no luck! Anybody knows the part number for the passanger side mirror led unit for a b5.5 passat? Is it the same as the B6/golf MK5 one? Cheers.

Re: Stutter 130pd

If you can get hold of, put some dielectric greese on the connector! Makes a better and watertight contact!

I had the very same problem. Cam lobes worn on mine. Just check before you replace the loom needlessly!

I don't have vcds, but a mate of mine scanned it and said no fault codes! One of the lobes closer to the front bumper was kind of rough. Could not see the lifters! I haven't asked tps for a price but I bet it'll be stupid money. I don't want to spend £600 on parts alone. That's a third of the car's...

Misfire

Ok folks. I had a misfire start 3 weeks ago. At first it was intermittent, then last week became permanent. Yesterday I changed the injector loom (genuine) but the misfire is still there. Is it camshaft time? I've seen some kits off fleabay for around £140, should I get one of them? Cheers.

Comfort blink module

Can I fit a comfort blink module ( 3 indicator clicks ) from a passat B5.5 to a Ford Galaxy MK2 1.9 tdi? The Gal is a 06 plate, not the new shape. Cheers.

130 kph limit over there, but few speed cameras! Trouble is that the majority of their motorways are 2 lane only!
