Re: car's been stood up for a month or so...

Re: misfire thats not sparks or coilpack?

no obvious leaks anywhere,

coilpacks - no impreza noise, and idles like poo on 4 cylinders rather than 2/3

coolant temp sensor changed a month or 2 back.

got a crank pulse/position sensor as well to do at some point when i work out how to fit it

misfire thats not sparks or coilpack?

alright chaps any idea what might be causing my misfire on a 1.8t awt?

it says misfire dectected, but no coilpack symptoms? changed the sparkplugs for pre-gapped ones

will idle like a bag of spanners but touch the throttle and it chokes splutters and cuts out

my thinking is that if it fits in an a6 or a4 its fair game, albeit a bit long hard and expensive game

Re: am back with b5.5!

how hard was it to wire up the airbags on the mk4 seats? do the plugs match, or do they need splicing.

Also how much work was it to get the recaros on the passat runners?

Re: 1.8T all lumpy on start up

what about the sai (secondary air intake) you get them on golfs, assume the passats have them also, over time the screws/bolts/clips wear and it leaks air and makes it run rough.

can be taken apart and the bolts replaced - usually does the job

but not sure if the passat even has one tbh

et30

alright lads i think i want a rear offset of et30 by my guestimations.

question is, do i need hubcentric 5mm spacers, or will any old ones do.

and how much if any longer should the bolts be?

criminals don't respect/fear the law they shouldn't be protected by it.

Take them to court, judge and court staff to leave. And the crowd can provide justice...

its alright, worse case you got a good reason to have the front resprayed :hyst

seriously though, use over 2000 grit before you start polishing and don't go mental, you can take more off, you can't put it back so break it down into stages, take a few attempts to do it.
