Re: xenon hids
what kit did you get and from where and how much. Ebay - Around 30-60 were they easy to fit. Very easy are there any problems with any of the cars electrics, as some say they get flashing on dashboard and flickering hids. No, later cars have the CAN-BUS system which knows when a light is out, changi...

Re: xenon hids
I had 4300k too. Cant fault HID's in projectors. They dont kill oncoming driver's eyes, They light up the road (at a guestimate) about 70% more, and road signs become 600% clearer and viewable, even from long distances you can see signs coming. Money well spent in my eyes. Its just very annoying whe...

Re: ESP light
I had the same thing, but it turned out to be the tracking was out so obviously the angle of the steering wheel didnt co-inside with the way the wheel was facing.jeepstertim wrote:Steering angle sensor is causing mine.

Re: paint 12year warranty
If the wing has been repaired by VW and you have proof of this there isnt really anything they can say.

Re: revs jump between gear shifts
I could be wrong here, but have you tried whilst booting it to make the gear changes a little slower?
Like if by the time youve taken your super fast feet off the throttle then slammed on the clutch it might not of had time to react to the no throttle.

Re: A bit of advise, please
It all depends on how deep the scratches are, if they are "so" deep, even machine polishing wont remove them, Its all just entirely dependant on how deep the scratches are.
Are you doing a 2 stage machine polish with an abrasive polish then a not so abrasive polish?

Re: paint 12year warranty
All those who are getting this stuff done now dont forget to keep checking your wings every few days, the rust came back on one of mine and vw were gonna give me a new one for free. Sold the car now though.

But I dont want to loose the front bumper. It already scrapes on certain speedbumps as it is. Lowering it would be the death of it.sisson wrote:If you look under the Leon, its no where near as low ground clearance as a Passat.

Stu's new ride! Seat Leon Cupra
As some of you may have read we had a 3 way swap a few days ago. I traded my passat with Oldskool for his 02 (51 plate) Leon Cupra. Oldskool got Dubdaves b4 wagon, and Dubdave got my b5.5 wagon. That first time I set off I had a grin on my face which is still there to this day! Shes already been rev...

Re: Vag-com mods
I believe in the 2003 onwards you have to have the EGR mapped out its not as simple as turning it off in vag com. You can reduce the amount it "recycles" but not disable it.

Re: 10 mph auto lock
No a guy in Barnsley did it for me.
The dealers no doubt would do it, but it wont be worth the money they will charge just to plug it in.
