B6 Handling Upgrade

SO, I've had my B6 for 7 years now. I've got KW Variant 2 Coilivers fitted to it. I want to improve the handling further whilst retaining daily-driver ride comfort. It has 240BHP from a modified TDI and 18" Phaeton hollow-spoke wheels. I was thinking about poly bushes to certain components, and...

Re: SMF B6

Fitted a Valeo kit also to a 1.9 last year. Drove nicer than standard due to a bit lighter. No difference in refinement whatsoever.

Re: Anyone swapped the chrome trims round the door frame

I retrofitted the entire chrome trim onto my S model from a water damaged car. I removed the trim from the donor car and refitted it onto mine. To seal the window surrounds onto the doors in place of the VW bond I used Tiger Seal PU adhesive. Still fine almost five years later.

Very jealous! The Champions look great, I've a set on my saloon now.

32.3 mpg... I'm getting that from the E36 318i I'm driving at the moment with less than half the power. If tax wasn't stupendously ridiculous I'd kill for one of these

Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon - Xenons fitted today!

Is that not how the factory ones work no? That CC only had one bulb and when the stalk was pulled with the headlights off it still fired the xenon bulb and the shutter at the same time. Might do what I did before so is add in a relayed feed to the ballasts through a diode from the shutters so when t...

Ah yes. Perfect :) and then that way once coded when you pull the stalk with headlights off they flash just like OEM. Saw it in a new CC at work and remembered it was on the to do list!

The furniture clinic ones? Good by all accounts though don't last forever. I was tempted buy one but I found the ivory. I might have to do door cards if I can ever find a leather set, see how it turns out

Re: Jarek's B6 Wagon - Xenons fitted today!

Jarek which pins on the CECM did you connect the shutters to?

I have the same, but with aftermarket D2s bulbs and ballasts. I have OEM D1s bulbs but can't afford ballasts!

I'd love a DSG car, mine is only a TDI but still I love it, specially as I do high mileage. Same first time at inters, was expecting a better autojumble but better than nothing. Just picked up some KW V2 for mine so interesting to find out how they perform, had the TA Technix in before and they're h...
