Bkp noise when cold
Hi all. I have a 2007 bkp 2.0 tdi,146k. From cold,there is a rattle/rumble from the engine. When looking under the bonnet,it is not obvious where the noise is coming from.

B7 2.0 bluemotion vs audi a4 tdi e vs a6 tdie
Looking for comparisons between these 3. Not had much luck online.
Is it the same efficient engine?
Reliability?
Tax?
Specs?
Looking for 2011-2014 car with sub 120k,budjet sub 6k
Look forward to hearing responses

B6 estate dog cage
Hi I have a b6 estate 2006, would like to buy a cage suitable a medium size dog (collie). All the ones I've seen online are full width and take up most of the boot! Does anyone have any alternative solutions? ie that use one side or are shaped. So I can still put a pushchair, wellies, kids toys etc ...

Re: Back the passat world,b6 or b7
Thanks for the link. The kit is expensive,especially with mechanic time etc,considering I'm likely to sell the car in the next 2 years,I think I might risk it for a biscuit. If the oil pump does go,I can pop a lower mileage replacement engine in for not much more additional cost.
Bad thought process?

Re: Back the passat world,b6 or b7
Good friends of mine have decided to sell their b6 2006 2.0tdi. The biggest advantage of buying this is knowing it's been well looked after and has no known major problems that the seller is hiding! I can also then save up for a newer model passat or superb. I'm aware this is the danger period for t...

Re: Back the passat world,b6 or b7
Sounds like a minefield. I'd be looking for the low tax bracket and more efficient one. How is the best way to distinguish between the two?

Re: Back the passat world,b6 or b7
That's great to know thanks. So as far as I can gather,I'm safe with the cr over the pd engine and also on the oil pump front if it is post 2010. That makes the search a bit easier. Many thanks. Was hoping for bluemotion and leather seats,seems to be insanely rare...are there any trims that did this...

Is there a way of identifying which b6 and b7 passats have a weak oil pump?
Do any bluemotion models come with leather interior?

Back the passat world,b6 or b7
About 6 years ago I had an awesome b5 afn along with 12 b5 passats for breaking (some of you may remember). Have since had an a3, now kids force the need to purchase an estate. A4 has limited rear leg room and seriously pricey for the year. So returned to looking at passats. Must be diesel, leather ...

very interesting, thanks. The a4's just hold their price to incredibly well over b6 passats- maybe this is the reason!

From B5 to B6- what to know
Have had B5's for years. Driven, sold parts, sold cars etc
Thinking of shifting attention to 2005 onwards

Many thanks

under the uv it shows lots of what seems to be 'splatterings/splashings' of coolant, as if it has sprayed from somewhere, but there is nowhere obvious as yet
