Im drinking a drink a bmw fan would toss over Bavaria (really cheap but nice)

I found some pictures last night and it looks like if your the type of person who likes chavvy music and possibly sleeps with your own sister then it might be for you As i dont like that type of music and dont have a sister, then it wont be for me. I am however going to replace the glovebox light wi...

Lolol i thought i was getting pulled over by the rozzers the other day but it some pillock with flashing blue xmas lights on his roof.

If i cba tomorrow ill make up a picture and see what it could be like

Do you know if anyones tried it? I dont fancy being the first in case it looks god awful

I've not done the front personally only rears but the fronts are more involved as in you need to remove a spring and the calliper which is an extra bolt compared to the back.

No not that i mean actually inside the vent

Looks good although im in need of something like this

That was i can plug into my radio.

Thanks for the pictures and hopefully enough space at the back

Has anyone actually illuminated the air vent? It would probably look odd but on paper with purpely blue lights might be nice

Have you got a pic? I wouldn't mind a couple which screws in but may just have a loose cable

Does anyone know how to remove the felt cubby hole bit? If its just pull up any certain areas to start with?

Going to put a usb lead in there

Thanks

Oh sorry i totally missed the sizes. Ive been looking at oemepc at all the vag cars and the screw is missing for them all. Ive got a feeling its not m6 for sone reason, iirc the vw guy had about 5 different sizes about 5 years ago and neither fitted, but im going to pop round vw and audi tomorrow to...

Ive spent a good while searching now and cant find any screws or sizes which fit the rivnuts, which is grim

Does anyone know the part number for the yellow/black screw for the numberplates? Its got the builtin rivnut? Already but last time i went to vw he couldnt find the p/n nor would any fit in the hole. Also whoever put the numberplate on screwed into the bodywork! No idea how its not at all rusty but ...

On a b5.5?

Yeah that one does bluetooth too, but owning a blackberry i need constant power

Keep the full

Isn't this the same as asking how to cut off your leg and replace with a wooden one?

Rear right, rear left, front right then front left

Or

REAR RIGHT, REAR LEFT, FRONT RIGHT THEN FRONT LEFT

I bought a car lol X5 BMW

The x5 recalls always made me laugh! Steering wheel may not operate, brake pedal may detach and air bag may randomly deploy!!

Hope you've had them all checked :o

Could be many different things, get it scanned and come back with the error code if there is one. A cheap u281 scanner is good but double check its for passats or download vcds onto a laptop and a lead on ebay. Things coming to mind could be boost leak, under boosting, over boosting, maf, map n75, c...

It says it has 2 year warranty but wondering if it's just a nightmare to prove it's duff. Mine defo needs a new joint rather than boot, but looking at good quality and oem prices it's madness. Even if the j&r only lasted 1-2 years I could still buy another 2 from them before I get to oem prices:o

If you have leather buy gliptone leather cleaner, my hands smelt like I'd fisted a cow for a day but the leather smell in the car lasted months and months

Personally I used to buy a complete driveshaft like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-PASSAT-1-9-TDi-130BHP-TURBO-DIESEL-DRIVESHAFT-OFF-SIDE-CV-JOINT-1999-2005-/130894450136?fits=Car+Make%3AVW%7CModel%3APassat&hash=item1e79eacdd8:g:Z7oAAMXQQQhRdV28 then over the next couple of months rebuild th...

Hello, ill soon be draining my coolant via rad screw and then topping up again so not a full flush as such.

Ive done this before can remeber for the life of me, how much coolant to use, is it 2 full bottles of g13? Then water for the rest?

Im buying a pioneer head unit x8700dab, as subtle as i could find especially with rear usb!

Also an oil change, fuel filter and new coolant
