UKPassats

I had a fused dist block and tbh would recommend that over a solid one. I had it fused at the battery, fused and the dist block then the amps own fuses. I'd rather blow a fuse than the car up

Got the amp/subs today 2 x 12inch JBL 1000 WATT subs in box .... with 1000 watt Magnat THE ROCK amp fitted to the back from Chogg.....should do the job ! .... They deffo do the job even in a sealed saloon boot :) When I took them out it surprised me how much feeling as well as rumble went. I like i...

I think this one takes the prize for expensive?

I think it was a 4awg kit I had from the engine to the dist block then 8awg from them to the amps. That kit should be fine

Is this owt to do with that 'rude reply' thread? I noticed it dissapeared.

Ant - not sure if you saw / heard the 2 x 12" JBL GT4 (1000w max) I had in my boot but since selling the Ssat they are sat here gathering dust. They boxed and good to go now. They do have am amp strapped to the back but I'm guessing you don't need that? PM me if you are interested? I don't want...

I think the freeware versions of VAGCOM only allow you to read the codes but not reset. If you got it off ebay it's more than likely a freeware version and you paid for the wire. I wouldn't advise going to a dealre as VW want nearly £100* just to do this. You can buy fault code readers that reset f...

VagCom only mate. I did the same so I got the same warning.

Yup, I came to VW from always owning fords. This has everything the passat has and more so I'm not losing anything in the way of toys. I know the dash won't feel as solid as the passat but I'd rather have a fault free car than a solid one that spits it's dummy out at me :lol: As I say for the price ...

I will be interested to see if my car makes it back on here as the garage said they will just put it to auction.

I've put a deposit on a 2005 Foucs Ghia 2 litre TDCi (135bhp, 251lbs/ft 6 speed box)

I got a good deal for it so it was rude to refuse. It has everything I want as a base point but it will be getting modded

PC USB ports are a regulated 5v 500ma output (unless tampered with) so you shouldn't have a problem if the head unit does 800ma. Dunno why it doesn't like it though.

I've not put up the ads yet so yeah you are jumping the gun lol.

PM me your postal addy and when the car leaves my hands I'll post it down to you.

I've just bought a ford from a dealers and one of the options I had was 2 years serviceng, 2 MOTs and 2 annual saftey checks to be taken when I want (as in before going on a long drive or in winter) for approx £290. That means the equiv prive for 3 years would be £435 and that's at a main dealers....

it's time to face, the final curtain.......... My car hunting is done for now and the Passat is soon to be no more. I would just like to take this opportunity to thank peeps for their help with the problems I have had with this car. The next car aint a VW (or anything German for that matter lol) but...

I've got it on ebay now so we'll see what comes of that

I've been looking at the trader now all week and it's getting really boring.

It's an SE (sorry, forgot that bit lol)

I'm not getting a brand new car much as I would like one. Looking at about 5yr old tops so considerably newer than what I have got

Well the time has come for my beloved passat to leave my grasps (and I mean it this time as I am in a position go get a new car) so I'm just wondering what the trade value of a Y plate 2001 2l Saloon on 85k is? Mechanically the car is very sound and passed an MOT in december with only a manky rear n...

Theres 2 things I have read in this thread I would take with a pinch of salt. 1 is that the offender was only doing 31 (unless you can show us the evidence) and 2 that you are 'caught' by a camera every time you spped even if you don't get a fine. As Matt said above, the cameras would never stop fla...

"Always be grateful for what you have"

Unless it's a passat! lol

A light right foot and good eyes to read the road ahead.

Standard on a 2001 Y plate 5.5 as well :L

Was it someone on here you did the swap with?

The idea was to let the engine warm up while I cleared the snow

I don't normally use the wipers to do this as said above and usually the roof gets a brushing as well (I have a very soft bristled brush). It was totally unintentional for the wipers to run hence why it happened lol

Woodhead is similar to this road and I often have loony bikers riding like idiots but I like to have a nice drive over myself when the conditions are right.
