Brake switch would be my first port of call. When ours went the car went absolutely mental.

Have a look in the 'How To' section for a run down on replacement. The part is cheap enough, but the installation is a little tricky. I broke one when installing and had to order another.

Have fun!

Cluck her she can get wet

Sheet!! I thought it was a handy weed stash :D Seriously though, should the new car have come with an umbrella in there? Or was the aperture created just to sell us an umbrella? I remember my E30 BMW had a torch in the glove box, be like BMW putting a torch charger in there and then selling us a tor...

Not a lot happened of recent. The car went in for a bit of a winter protection by a local detailer, at which point we decided a bit of paint is well over due. Mainly the bonnet :evil: It looks like it has done a loop of the M25 behind a gravel wagon. So a kitty has been started for that little expen...

I was just trying to help as oppose to quoting other posts and making one line comments

Thanks for your valued input though, I am sure your pearls have solved the OP problem.

He was on last night at midnight, so he is still checking out the forums he despises so much.

Found this on Passat World: "i had this problem... twice !! look i called the dealer and they told me how to fix it.. unplug the battery for 10 minutes then plug it again then press the breaks for 35 seconds after that, while pressing the breaks press the e-breaks for 10 seconds.. (( i think th...

Looking good

Need better shots though, so we cab perve with more clarity

This seems to be quite a common weak point on the B6. I have read a few reset methods, but cannot recite them from memory though.

I am pretty sure there is a 'quick fix' involving a 10mm spanner

Welcome aboard.

As far as PCD and centre bore goes they are a straight fit. Just watch the ET though as some Audi wheels have a high ET, and you may have to run spacers.

Those in the link are ET40, so they would be a straight fit.

Good luck,

Matt

There was a B6 in the states that had an awesome setup, not dissimilar to that one. And if my memory serves me correctly they were available as a kit from the States too.

Matt

Does the brake release at all?

I know the switches are prone failing, as we carry a spare switch in our 'B6 Emergency' pack

Matt

I do find it funny sometimes that UKP is treated like an on-line Haynes manual. It probably happens more than we know, what with Google searches ect. As stated a lot of the solutions to problems on here are because one person has had that problem, solved it and then reported it on here to allow othe...

Low is good no?

My B3, catches exactly like this on a couple of speed bumps on the way home and on the drive at home:

I love it, that scraping noise and horrified looks of the pedestrians, sad I know

Matt

Looking good, and sounds like you have a plan of attack.

Good luck

She cleans it obsessively, she has more shampoo's, polishes, clay bar kits and micro fiber clothes than I can shake a stick at B) We booked it in for a winter detail, and the guy couldn't believe how little dirt he got off it. In fact just one spot of tar on the drivers side. Got to go back in thoug...

I know an optional extra on the B3 was having an extra row of rearward facing seats in the boot. Thus creating a 7 seater.

I have never seen one though, but there are a few of them come up on German Ebay.

Not sure how this translates to your original question though

Matt

LOL, That would be the MRS. She said she saw you, and you both gave the 'nod'

Matt

I had some Alpine components, I think they are 17.5cm mids with 2.5cm tweeters. The tweeters have various mounts to choose from. There was one that was a perfect fit. It is like a lollipop stick either side of a round mount which the tweeter sits in, and just screw the mount where the original speak...

I sacked them off and put my tweeters there, with the mids in the doors.

Matt

Straight up!

I found them on ETKA, but my copy doesn't work anymore
