Cheers for all the replies guys! In that case I'll probably give the washers a go when I change my mounts because they are leaking anyways and cabin vibration is awful, especially at idle. On that front, is the cabin of my 1.9TDI meant to shake much at idle, or should it be smooth? Because the diffe...

So I've lowered my car on 30mm Eibachs and I'm worried about how low my sump is sitting. I've seen this https://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=45226 guide, where the washers go under the engine mounts, but after reading about broken engine mounts I'm kind of scared to try it out. https://...

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 incre...

Only thing that has been replaced on the front axle is one wheel bearing and the outer CV joints. The car only has 138k miles, but it was parked ...

Hi everyone, I've just been though this thread, and think i'll give it a go in my AVF passat. I chipped it myself to 150 PS, and it's noticeably louder at WOT now. Just had a couple of questions regarding the oil I should be using. I understand it should be JASO-FB spec. However, when looking at dif...

I didn't swap out the CTS myself, my garage did it during the last service.... but as they only do VAG cars and work on plenty of B5.5s i'm pretty sure they got it right!

I've been driving my dad's stock B5.5 Wagon (6 Speed Manual with the PD130 AVF engine). It gets driven maybe 200 miles a month right now (except for when I visit), and isn't really being looked after - its been parked outdoors for 17+ years and it's in pretty rough condition (but only has 118k miles...
