Have been registered on here for a little bit already, but not actually posted in here to introduce myself - and seeing as my good friend Ian aka 'captain' has just registered too, I thought I should follow suite. I'm a 30 year old graphic designer, living in between Hull & Grimsby at the mo. Be...

you forgot to mention that you stink of chips.

clart.

oh yeah - and you forgot to tell everyone how much you like your wood.

fantastic idea! I was looking at buying VAG-COM myself as I need to reset the airbag light on my B5. from this locator I can see there's someone 2 minutes down the road from me with it!

how much is the software to buy?

make sure you follow that double din unit up with a hefty kicking from your right foot!! w*nkers. really cheese me off to see stuff like this. hope you can get it sorted

you reeeeeeally need to show us a front shot of those wheels - you can't just tease us with a peek at the deep dish! ;)

superb!! cheers guys - think I'll get myself one of those blue ones if they come recommended. need to reset my airbag warning light and want to do a fault code check too as I've only had the car a couple of months and want to check everything is ok with it.

how much are the Philips H7 X-Tremes?

i was surprised that VW were still building cars with poo headlights!
i mean - my '64 splitty is bad enough, and I've had an '89 scirocco and a '91 corrado and both cars had rubbish headlights - I kinda hoped VW would have sorted it by 1999!

I reckon part of the reason for a drop in mpg over winter is the fact that you're more likely to be driving with lights on in the morning and evening due to shorter days, using your heaters to keep warm and rear screen heater to de-mist which both sap a certain amount of power. A lot of people leave...

I've decided I could really do with VAG COM so I can read and reset codes myself - two of my mates have just bought Passats too, so would help them out too. Problem is, I've no idea whats best to buy. I've seen the Draper code readers on e-bay, but it doesn't mention anything about covering diesel m...

mine's the same -
it buzzes for low washer fluid (nearly filled my pants the first time that happened!), buzzes for low fuel, but not for service or frost and not for lights left on!

LOVE the NOS!! quality

bought car middle of last month: someone drove down the nearside of the car a week after buying it so replaced back bumper - doors still to fix/replace cleaned and 'fed' the leather interior removed battery etc. to clean out the drain holes in the bulkhead fitted new Sony headunit fitted iPod adapt...

cool - cheers guys - can begin my hunt for some now!

play them off against each other - that's the best way - ring another company - tell them what you've been quoted (ie. lie and say whatever figure you were paying last year). wait for them to come back and give a lower price. if they can't beat it then go back to your current insurers - and lie to t...

had a look on there n the segins are different

some pics at last... adapter unit underneath armrest/handbrake storage pocket. cable runs along under the edge of the centre console and up to the back of the HU. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h188/sixtyfoursplit/DSCF0795.jpg iPod connector fits snuggly through this little hole in the bottom cor...

BIG THANKS to you two = dropped by GSF on the way home from work to pick up a new switch - 30 mins later and a test drive down the motorway - problem solved!

Anyone know what rims these are (look like Merc rims but not sure).
Really like the look of em n want to replace the stockers on my sport in the new year.

Think yourself lucky they were decent enough to stop and leave their details - the man/woman/twohat that hit my car (a mere week after buying it!! :evil: :evil: ) went down the entire side of the car - from back of the front arch, dinted the pass door, dinged the rear passenger door, creased the rea...

now that puts my mind at rest!! i was fiddling with the brake light switch on Sunday - because unless i stomped on the brakes I got no brake lights! I fixed it by winding the switch back out a few turns - so now my brake lights work fine - though when I looked at the switch setup by the pedals I was...

Driving to work down the motorway this morning and the glow plug light started flashing. Duly filled my pants and slowed down - sure enough as soon as I slow down the light goes off. Set off again and over about 70mph it came back on again. As soon as I braked to slow down again it'd go off. Had a l...

I'd recommend blackcircles too - if you go through their website to get an insurance quote they send you a discount voucher/e-mail to claim against new tyres.

yeah its a B5 - madrob - seems I have the same problem as you! got in the car to drive carefully home in the dark - n tried stompin the pedal to check the brake lights - n sure enough it comes on but only when pushed firm, so must be the switch. I also noticed that the offside bulb doesn't brighten,...

Just noticed this morning on arriving to work that my brake lights weren't working. Checked the obvious - bulbs and fuses - both fine (the rear lights still light up when my headlights are on) - so I'm figuring its the brake light switch or does anyone have any other suggestions? - I had a look in H...
