Re: Replacement Driver Seat

How did you get on with the replacement?

Are the new seats a lot more supportive?

I have a 2005 B5.5 Comfortline, between the seat and a new set of shocks i should be right.

Re: Cheap Meyle HD arm kits

I emailed the seller. The kit will not fit later cars.

They also sell the correct kit at €485.

Best source for Lemforder control arms.

As the title suggests I am looking to replace the front suspension arms on my B5.5 Passat. I have been quoted €635 locally for the full kit. I am based in Ireland but can get stuff across from the UK quite easily. I don't see any resellers advertising on this site. Any information would be greatly...

Re: Mad indicator relay

Don't remove anything.

Get a can of contact cleaner and spray it into the base of the stalk while cyclingthe indicator stalk.

Done the trick for me, only found out after I had bought a new hazard switch.

cruise control always armed

Hi folks, new on the forum, just got a 05 saloon comfortline. Very happy with it so far.

I drive with the cruise control switch always on and then set or cancel it as I need using the steering wheel controls.

Is this ok or am I over working the cc computer by having it always armed?
