I noticed a metal valve or similar between the top of the engine and the the bulkhead. Is this the MAF? Will i need to clean or change it, and is there any of the other valves that will need changing? I will replace one of the short hoses as the rubber seems quite soft at one end and seems it would ...

Thanks for the advice

I must admit I haven't been as right foot heavy as I used to be lol was trying to improve the fuel economy a little.

How do I get to the wire mesh oil separator ?

How easy is it to do away with the PCV is there much involved?

thanks for the advice

what's the best way to clean the turbo & intercooler? are they difficult to get off, and is there any particular cleaner I need to use?

all cleaned out now:) are there any other parts to take off that I might have missed? Is it possible to get the metal base of the dipstick tube out?

now just got to unclog the gunk & blockages from this lot:

I have had some mayo on the dipstick for a while now so thought it's about time to check the pipework & clean out the gunk. I will be fitting my new N75 this week as well, to thought it would make sense to do it at the same time. Here are the gunky parts I have found so far, are they & the s...

messaged the seller. This is the right one

cool,do you know the part number at all? want to make sure I get the right one

I also need a silicone hose hit also if anyone can recommend a good kit

I need an N75 for my AWT 1.8T. Does anyone know the part number, or can recommend where I can get one for a reasonable price? Prefer not to get ripped off by the stealers if I can help it. :-bd maybe one of these would be the right one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-VW-VOLKSWAGEN-PETROL-N75-VALV...

have just checked the battery

11.87v - before I started her up
13.66 - running

are these figures ok? guessing they are as nearly 14v running?

battery should be ok as it's a bosh silver. Car had been stood for a month and It got run down trying to start it as some times it won't start. How do I test the battery?

the battery did go flat, I had to put it on charge the other day

yeah it's crazy. I've never seen that many fault codes in one go before. I took the throttle body off yesterday & gave it a good clean out with throttle body cleaner

It all went pear shaped after I took the bumper off to fix one of my headlights I accidental ran the car on the driveway without the airbox pipe in place

Have stopped driving my car as It in now running quite lumpy :( Revs are hunting, and sounds really lumpy like it's not firing properly. It doesn't always start properly, and sometimes it likes power is down and that causes the steering to go heavy and the brakes to not work very well, as if power s...

is there a good how to or guide for doing the clean out? think I might have the same issue due to lots of mayo in the dipstick tube. I do do alot of short journeys & would like to clean the system as part of the maintenance

is this the right pipe? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PCV-Crankcase-Breather-Hose-Kit-fit-for-01-05-Passat-B5-5-02-04-Audi-A4-MA271-/281288127801?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item417e143539 thinking for the price it might be worth changing it as a matter of course would this ebay one be...

Thanks

I am thinking of getting a silicone hose kit or 2. coming up for 120k so thought it might be a good idea. Want to do the turbo etc soon, and will do the coolant ones later in the year when I do a coolant flush. Not bothered about the brand name, and don't want them to cost a fortune as long as the q...

I really like the look of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Passat-MK5-Black-Projector-Dual-Halo-LED-Headlights-/380855033123?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item58acba9d23 but don't like the postage cost or the possibly of import fees. Does anyone in the uk sell them or similar ones?

Cool, what do the eurowagon's look like? Is it a big job to swap the lights over, will I need to take much off the car to get them out?

cool, I have head that they let less light through though?

I quite like the look of the ones where they are painted black inside. Has anyone got any of those?
