Re: B6 CC rear indicator swap for chrome?

I've looked and cannot find any 10W indicator bulbs silver or orange? I always thought they were 21W? :-?

Re: Been away a while but now got another Passat

You must ascertain if it's 77mm or 100mm otherwise it can quickly turn into a breaker or scrap car . It's a longer hole and key . http://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=73220&start=0 Im guessing there isn't a quick and easy way to check that, without getting under the car and ...

Re: Leaking water from drivers side

Check inside the engine bay there to see if there is any staining near the bottom corner of the radiator on the drivers side, that's where mine was leaking from.

I had a new radiator fitted and the coolant all changed and no more leaks :-)

Re: black rat stickers

Black rats are the nick name for the old met traffic police. It comes from the motorcycle riders who used to look like drowned rats in the wet in the old style black leather waterproofs. (also rats eat their own and they had a reputation for knocking off other bobbies). They used to be to let traffi...

I've got the Galaxy S2, it has been pretty good. However when I first had it the battery life did not seem very good, however since a software upgrade it has been a hell of a lot better. It comes with 16GB on board storage and can add up to a 32 GB MicroSD card so better storage options than the iph...

Re: New Owner - Things to Fix..

Just replace the power steering fluid, I had similar problem on my old car. I thought the pump had gone, however a mechanic stuck his finger in the fluid and said it just needed changing. Hell of a lot cheaper to sort out :-P
