Leaky air ride

Hi all, I bought a passat off ebay- silly impulse purchase maybe, misses defiantly thinks so... From searches, it was 'RobC' on here, with a build thread. The previous owner 'checked it over' before I collected, and found the driver window motor had died, so knocked off a nice chunk of $$$ off. The ...

Anyone know this air ride passat?

As it says really, any one on here, or know of the car? If not, advice on the 2.3 v5's- are they any good or are those miles asking for expesive problems? Thanks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Passat-V5-Estate-Air-ride-Euro-Lowered-Not-JDM-Drift-Car-/261928263951?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cfc24...

Re: pddevelopments

Thanks all for info.
I found the black smoke website, but couldn't work out where to find the mpps program
Searched online but the company was asking nearly £1000 so don't think I was looking in the right place.

Re: pddevelopments

Thanks for reply guys.
I was looking at them as didn't realise was a cheaper way to map. Thoughts I'd have to go the £250 local option.

I've got a vagcom eBay cable as had to clear the airbags warning light- how easy is it to black smoke?

What do you plan on doing in the back- eg boarding etc?

I contemplated welding my doors shut and van'ing my wagon a while ago.

As it says- B5's fixed, but think going to get a B5.5 estate this summer.

Having see Chris's car (mini_dub), and considering my line of work- air seems a good move.

Re: Broke my B5 pd...

Massive thanks to Chris / Mini_dub for scanning and clearing faults.
Know what sensors needed, and looks like the culprit was snow and blocked drains.

Also great to see his awesome car. I now NEED air!

About 100 miles later, maybe a coincidence, I lost power in the outside lane and had 'ENGINE WORKSHOP' on the dashboard. Car runs, coil light flashes, but accelerator does nothing. AA came out, but didnt have a dia...

Have done nothing- literally only MOT'd the car last week, and other than that just driven it. Last service was over 6months ago...
