Mindrot, have you used the seals you linked to??.

Is there anywhere apart from the stealers where you csn buy these from? Dealers charge £7 each or csn you use plsin rubber o rings? ?

Depending where you are, could I come & try them??

Where you based??
What year passat were they off?

Hi
If you fancy selling them I might be interested.

Would T4 springs fit? obviously heavier duty, might be worth looking at, you could cut them if too long.

Would you allow a plumber to smoke in your house! No you wouldn't why should your car be different?
£100 for the Valet & repair should be enough, or as said above threaten with legal & bad mouthing around your local, he won't like that.

Go back to the garage, tell them you are sensitive to the smoke odour, get them to valet the interior or else!!
They shouldn't be smoking in YOUR car, for it to smell that bad they must have took it home, dirty mingers!

I would go for 17"s I had 18's on mine & it sat too high even though i had 40 profile tyres, but would look good lowered
17's keep ride height normal & ride is still pretty comffortable unlike the 17's which wee a fair bit harder.

cheers boys,
yeah i done a bit more research they are 12 pointed, 3 x 4=12 hence triple square!!

i have just ordered a Bergen set fo £17 on fleabay

thanks again

Are these the same just called different in america or are they different?

I've seen it where people soak in hot water, to make it more pliable, they look a lot cleaner & easier than knocking off the joint. I've hear spitting on it helps

Has anyone used this instead of the conventional boot kits? Ones split on mine so looking at options

Just get a Oil filter strap, I've got a nylon webbing one, & works fine, you can use the chain one just wrap a cloth round it.

The B6 is lower price while the A4/A6 hold their price, vw & audi used to be closely comparable, quality was very similar, but looking now, the B6 was built on a very tight budget, it does look now that vw have got their act together with the B7 platform.

Boot polish?? Won't you end up with black hands?

I'm thinking of a change before the end of the year, Natural progression would point towards the B6 Passat 2.0 TDI. I've heard of injector, fuel & diesel pump failing & costing ££££'s, is this a common occurance or not? Any other problem areas with B6 & which is the best spec to hav...

Reading that thread really gives you food for thought, b5 platform sounds much better, i couldn't afford to spend that sort of money if the EPB failed, to date most of the things i have replaced on my car are (touch wood) wear & tear parts, things you expect to fail. i might just stick to what I...

Sellin on My 18's so back on with the stock 15's today, I must be getting old but it's much better it drives better & rides smoother cos of the fatter tyres.

We've got a 57 plate Clubman, it's awesome, goes well, drives well & looks really good. As said above steer clear of pre facelift Mini as they have a lot of Gremlins, Power steering pumps fail Electrical faults etc etc.

They are budget tyres but 6-7mm tread

Having a change of plans, just wondering what they're worth 6 month old joms & 18" rs4 reps with nearly new tyres. What they worth? ?

Kink the pipe & hold it together with a zip tie if you've got no bolts!

I'm sticking the joms on the car on Sat, do you need to set the ride height with the bushes like you do on the fronts when lowering it?

Cheers Chris
