Apologies I got a bit carried away.
I can confirm I’m getting 550 miles from my auto though and that I with an absolutely full tank

Hi
Just wondering mpg or miles per tank full, others are getting from a b5.5 automatic pd avb engine estate?

I have just started using mine again and am getting 600 miles from a tank

I made my own stage 1 remap on my TDI 130. It's a very similar process with other TDI engines. You definitely feel the difference in power. As far as tunes go, if you go the DIY route you can choose exactly what kind of power delivery you want. For example, in order to save my clutch, I didn't incr...

Hi, I’m considering a remap on my b5.5 estate, I’ve got the model with just 100 Bhp and an auto box. Just wonderful anyone else out there has had a stage 1 remap and seen real gains in performance and economy.

Cheers

I have bought that exact kit that you mention today.

I like the sound of the vacuum pump
Found a oversized repair that seems to have good reviews. I will give that a shot

Can’t believe it Just completed a successful timing belt and water pump change on my b5.5, decided to treat it to some fresh oil and then cross threaded the sump plug on the female side. Quick fix with thread lock on thread and heat resistant gasket maker on both sides of the washer and just pinched...

Nailed it.
Lots on YouTube
It does seem quite daunting but like anything is more about patients and method

Cheers guys
Have changed timing belt on an old Volvo 240 which was a piece of cake, loads of room, didn’t have to take half the car apart but these tdi engines look a bit more difficult

Hi guys. Has anyone got a complete detailed how to thread or blog or anything on the timing belt and water pump change on the 1.9tdi in a b 5.5 estate?

I think I’ll make a new Earth point in, but as I mentioned I’m utterly rubbish with auto electrics

Cheers everyone

Cheers.
I’m absolutely rubbish with auto electrics. I don’t even know where the earths are

Hi all

Having a problem with the lights at the rear. The near side are fine but the offside only come on when the brake pedal is applied.

Cheers! Just changed the oh fiddlesticks!

Whilst I’m here, off topic but worth a punt.
Can anyone tell me where exactly I’ll find the coolant temp sensor on my 1.9 tdi 2005 Passat please

Thanks guys.

Hi everyone Had a couple of advisory’s last mot that I mean to sort before the next one. Could anyone shed any light on what exactly is meant by this: advise n/s/f upper suspension arm front has a split in rubber bush no excess movement detected advise slight movement in o/s/f upper ball joint Are b...

Cheers guys

It’s a 2005 b5.5 Passat with the 1.9 god 100bhp
So today I cleaned all electrical sensors and the fault disappeared
Then ten mins later fault is back and the idle speed was a lot higher. I erased the fault again and idle back to normal. Any clues?

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since posting. Wondered if anyone could help before I just take the car to the mechanics for them to plug a reader in. Had a fault come up a few months ago, and the dash displayed “workshop emissions “ I realise that this could be a plethora of problems. So I plugged i...

Cheers dudes

Hi guys I’ve got a side repeater on the near side mirror that’s busted. Half the lens is missing and the bulbs that are there are not working. Is it possible to buy the repeater unit or do I need to source a whole mirror? The Passat last week failed the mot and this was one of the points it failed o...

No I didn’t because it was a genuine part and less then a year old.

After 5 weeks of the code cleared and no issue. The same warning has just appeared again.

Could it be loose wiring?

Still hasn’t come back on after clearing
