What wheels are they? I had AMG splitties (as per the pic) and struggled to get wheel bolts, as they were different from what the monoblocks needed.

Also, just look at the wheels to see if they have radius' seats or tapered. Its that easy

I like my 1.8T. Coming from high power 2LTurbo Nissans, the boost is quite gentle in comparison, but its still got enough grunt to pull you out of a bend when youre feeling in the mood a bit. You can, of course, boost them. But you have to remember that these turbos are different to the old school T...

Seen it a few times today. Cant remember the road tho!

Same light bluey colour as mine with a set of the Angel Eyes lights up front.

ANyone on here?

So Ive more than ran these in now. Finally had a chance to lean on them earlier on...

Ah man, I wish Id done this sooner! That and the Pirelli tyres on me 18" BBS CH's. Its like a different car all over again!

Ive had HT on for over a year now. All good in da hood

RIght had a very very quick through some fuses whilst I was waiting for my cousin... COuldnt see any popped :( Then he clipped the VAGCOM on... And these are the faults the CCM had on it. "Address 46: Central Conv. Labels: 1J0-959-799.lbl Part No: 1J0 959 799 AH Component: 3R Zentral-SG Komf. 0...

So yesterday, popped round the corner and lo and behold, when I get there and lock the car, the alarm starts throwing a hissy fit, the boot wont open and I later saw the interior lights arent working (at all, not just on the doors opening) oh and the E windows wont work. Central locking? Nah, thats ...

Ah, sorry, I just read the first couple of lines DOH!

Hmmmmm, well the AC makes the engine run hotter, so it may have a cooling issue.

Its not coolant. Its the AC doing its thing and the resulting fluid loss is condensation.

Its natural and most (all) AC systems do it.

Popped in to see my mum yesterday and see how she's getting on with her newly aquired B5.5 Highline :) Other than not getting as many mpg as the Octavia TDi its replaced, she's happy. But the cigarette lighter keeps blowing the fuse. Front and Rear (passenger). Tried lots of different chargers etc, ...

I had an issue with the light coming on last year. Topped it up and it was OK. What I couldnt work out was that there seemed to be enough oil according to the dipstick. Turned out the dipstick guide thingy was cracked and allowing the dipstick to sit further in the sump than it should, giving me the...

Bolts can be a right PITA. It took me about 3 attempts to get the Merc wheels in my sig on. WHat with having to drill the rear holes out (the fronts went on), then the bolts were massively too short (the OZ AMGs are a lot thicker than std AMGs) and then the bolts I ordered didnt come through.... Wit...

Im no B4 man (heck, only jus getting to grips with the B5 lol!) so I dont know what wheels fit. Have a read through the threads on here and other sites about fitment. If the fitment is right (PCD, offsets, widths, diameter etc) then the only other problem is the fixing. i.e. THe bolts might not be l...

Dude, you dont say how thick they are or anything or if they have a radius'd tapered hole?!?

sounds mad and i hate to say it,got the orange and green idea from the old rover 216 bubble model they did a racing green version with orange trims,when i told people that i was going down the orange route on a green car they turned there noses up,and they take there words back now as it works so w...

Yeh, I know that they can purge water (gives worries about snapped turbo water feeds on the Nissans!) but like I say, Im not too familiar with these Pesky VW systems!

I dont knwo how the VW AC works, so cant say if its normal or not.

Too scared to go anywhere and ask in case they rip me off and say 'oh yeh mate, thats like totally shagged and it will be £400 to fix'

If it aint broke....

I think that theyre basically all the same to be honest.

I got the Hot Tuning ones via this site.

Cant fault them!

Excellent value, totally transformed the car (as in it actually turns in now PMSL )

Its the Air Con. Mine does it too.

What wheels LOL!

Just found this on Passatworld... AEB and ATW dip sticks and plastic connector tube are different, i had my buddy compair his AEB to my ATW the other day and they were different. which i find weird because AEB and ATW use the same block. part numbers AEB dip stick 053115611C AEB plastic tube 0531036...

Right, my engine ia an APU and when I had the trouble with mine, they tried to tell me I had the wrong dipstick and sell me another :shock: The one they then sold me was MASSIVELY too long in the handle bit and would not have allowed me to shut the bonnet as it stuck up over the bonnet line. I haven...

I had an issue with this not long ago. Dipstick holder had part snapped in two. Got a new one, but the dipstick wouldnt go in properly. THought it was thw wrong dipstick. Turned out, part of the OLD holder was still on the old stick. Removed that and it was sorted. I onlyhave the part number for the...

Welcome local boy!

Nice rides

You may find your insurance covers you for that kind of damage. I know of guys that have had new engines hen they went hydraulic by running in water.

Worth checking?
