I have a soft spot for caddys n use one as a work van love it How about getting a votex spoiler? I loved my Caddy, but she went through Hell with me.. Crashed on A12, written off but I bought her back & got her back on the road. Then on a trip to Manchester I lost 5th gear & the exhaust fel...

Just posting a few pics of the wagon. Not changed an awful lot since I got her back in January 2012 but she's getting there. She's a 2003 Sport model running just over 160k.. Things I've done so far: Passat & TDI badges removed, Team Heko deflectors put in, Windows limo tinted, Dark grey 17"...

Duude, liking the side spitting exhaust. Another idea to add to my list

Hey guys, what LED rear plate lights will fit straight into a B5.5 estate without causing any computer probs?
Also thinking of fitting front fogs & parking sensors to my ssat, how easy/difficult is it? Any eBay links would be appreciated! Ta..

After removing all the carpet from the boot in my 2003 B5.5 Sport estate to give it a hoover, I noticed a circular panel I hadn't seen before, maybe 8" or 10" in diameter. Took the lid off it & there was another circular thing with 3 screws holding it in.. I know some larger cars have ...

Oil temperature, or whatever the gauge on the dash to the left of the fuel gauge is measuring?
It's the 1.9tdi in a 2003 53plate Sport estate, not sure of engine code, sorry.

Ta, Bob.

Dash gauge for my oil temp' is reading 0 regardless how far I drive. It usually sits right in the middle (vertical). Just searched for previous topics & looks like it's probably a sensor. Someone mentioned they were available off eBay, just searched & couldn't find any... Send me some links ...

Haha I'll give her teeth a good scrub & let you know how they come up
Cheers for the link as well, good stuff although I lack a rotary buffer! Booo!

My passenger headlight has a slightly yellow tint to it & feels rough to the touch. Where as my drivers side is crystal clear & smooth. How can I get the yellow one clear? Is there a glass cutting compound I can use? Any ideas? Also, looking for brighter road legal bulbs for headlights.. Any...

Another +1 vote from me, I put my Continentals on in early November. Had them on my other car last year, they're not just good in the ice and snow, but cold an wet conditions too. Will not go without them again over winter. We all need to wake up, if we all had these - including business vehicles, ...

these?

No not those. They're 7 solid spokes. Pretty sure they're Largos.. Will post a pic when I have time.

Just bought myself a set of genuine VW BBS made alloys (17"x7", 5x112, ET45) off eBay for £200 The auction said they were taken from a 2001 W8 Passat. I'm assuming they will just fit straight onto my Sport model?

Hey, new to the forum & the world of Passat owner'age! Just bought myself a 53 plate sport model :D, dark grey, 141k, full history (half VW, half independent), good nick etc etc. Drove it back from Essex about 70 miles from home & everything was lovely, then after stopping at my mates for a ...
