Nice 05 reg parked in overstone manner carpark tues around 530-6pm on 13th oct.
Silver with black porsche alloys.

All sorted, borrowed the pressure bleeder from work set it at just under 2 bar and worked my way round. A tiny bit of air from the rears and a poo load from the fronts, so much so the bleed pipe was spitting lol.

My friend used a pressure bleeder on his an still couldn't sort it

When you bleed the abs though and run the procedure through the diagnostic machine do the bleed nipples need leaving open?

yeh your right so they do!
I have some mercedes eltanins and some amg monoblocks i might put on.

No how do I do that?

I replaced the rear caliper seals on drivers side today and changed the pads at the same time. The caliper that had the seals lost all its fluid and whilst i tried to stop the fluid being lost from the brake flexi i still lost lots. the caliper that had the seals replaced seems to be closing on the ...

thanks fella, glad i seen that. Not sure if i'm keen on them now.

Currently after a set of these for mine but would really like to see a b5.5 with them on. Thanks

Think i found the problem. The duct that comes from behind the grill to the air box is vibrating where it sits onto the airbox. happy days if thats that sorted, not holding my breath though as not usually that lucky lol

Thanks guys

I've checked the fan inside the alternator and it turns clock wise but not anti clock wise so I'm guessing it's fine, I slackened off the belt tensioner and there is very slight play in the pulley. I may have to wait for it to get more obvious. Is the pulley available on its own or a complete piece ...

i replaced this around 2 1/2 years ago and used a genuine vw part. i also replaced the belt tensioner at the same time. I'm pretty sure the pulley has gone again. the steering don't quite feel right sometimes when parking and when you rev the engine there is a noise coming from that area. I'm pretty...

Does anyone know what size the speakers are in the rear doors. I want to be some to replace oe ones.

Thanks

Cool, I'll have to check. If it is do you have to buy the second part that's in your pic too

i thinking of replacing my front pipe with the flexi on it as it has split an leaking etc. I'll probably replace it with a decat pipe. Has anyone done this lately and can recommend one that's reasonably cheap. I've seen a few but a lot state the 90bhp model

I have a prob with mine, luckily we have aircon facilities at work. After mine has been filled it only last around 2 days. So we did a sniffer test. Its a bit of kit that picks up leaks anywhere. You just follow the pipes etc with it untill it bleeps like mad. Mine has a leak on the low pressure pip...

Had the aircon refilled on my b5.5 and the air blows nice and cold however it only lasts about 2 days. After running the car and switching off i can hear an air leaking noise coming from bulkhead area behind all plastic trims. Could this be anything other than i split hose? Pretty sure the hose is o...

My tdi sport 130 has already been remapped, however im thinking of fitting a de-cat pipe. Will this need remapping again or should it be fine.
Also has anyone done this and will it make much difference with regards to power?

Its in for rust on the wings covered by warranty then i'll be getting the ignition problem sorted and move it on, just glad i kept the b5.5.

Shame very good looking motor:
What would you recommend selling it for? 2.0 sport 135k fsh.

just bought a b6 sport tdi estate 2006 to replace my b5.5 tdi sport. It's just been in to be to have injectors replaced under warranty, I also know that last owner replaced clutch etc, starter motor, handbrake motor however the wiper motor has just packed up and now I'm having a ignition problem wh...

Have a search for "steering column fault" on here mate.... Very common. Used to be very expensive to repair £1k at VW, but they've got the price down to around £300 now I think. Or do what I did and go to Northampton and visit the polish guy that advertises on eBay, cost me £150. That'...

For some reason sometimes when i push the key into the dash it will not recognize it. when you insert it, it releases steering lock then nothing. It may do this up to 10 time before eventually it works. Any ideas?
