You mention 5x122, do you mean 5x112? If the latter then the pcd is ok. As Mindriot says, the offset is important. To remain legal with the wheel and/or tyre not sticking out beyond the bodywork an ET of 35 is just right. A larger ET number will move the wheel inwards toward the suspension, and, say...

Very interesting all that. When I changed the diff bearings last year, I used the vw oil at 23 quid a litre, 2.4ltrs so 3 bottles, and was a little surprised to have slightly reluctant gear changes for a while. I'll try that Sintofluid next time.

Thanks Jultsu

Which engine light comes on? When it goes into limp mode can it be reset by turning the ignition on and off?

One for the technically minded!!! Is it safe to download Elsawin onto windows 10? I know one or two have mentioned it on here, thank eee.

Not had much of a chance to look Gaz. Collected it on Monday from Wales,came down to Cornwall 5am Tuesday. It's been fine all week but I'll put it on the diagnostics when I get back and let you know the results. Seems to have a slight misfire on tickover.

A c6 Gaz estate,pretty standard though special edition.I am away at the moment so can't put a picture up.
Mindriot,my angry days are mostly over,though a lad threatened to stab me the other week cos he could not get past me,strangely enough he was in an audi

Could be a sad day for me.Thought an Audi a6 avant at weekend and now have to decide what to do about the passat.The wife may decide to run it but I do not think it would take her long to ruin it. much too good to break so it may come up for sale if I can hear to part with it

Let the moment pass Guy, then get the normal full bracket,you know it makes sense ;)

I've had this on two vehicles. On both occasions I squirted contact cleaner into the stalk base, guess what? It stopped!

I always think that if there's money in your pocket and there's something to do on the car, it's money well spent. Never retrievable, but so what

Nice job Jultsu, wouldn't have liked to foot the bill for the bushes though

This was my suspicion, and in fact it's only the wheels I want.I;ll have to see if the guy will sell the wheels only.

The rear wheels on my passat are 9j, fronts are 8j, both 18 diameter. I have been looking for some time for spare 9j's and two have come up. These wheels have 265/40x18 tyres, my own tyres are 235/40x18. The difference in circumference on these potentially new rear wheels is 24mm. Is this likely to ...

Yes that would do it.

Also, when you polish the car make sure to apply plenty of polish to the tailgate where it meets the bottom of the glass, save it from corrosion where the water holds.

Unbelievable knowledge

They fit reasonably well and the arch liners do fit, they have the tab for the screw.

S4 rear calipers arrived today, so they;ll be given the treatment, cleaning, new seals etc, I will take pictures because there aren't many going up lately. I have new 300mm vented discs to go with them as well, looking forward to it. Any of you thinking of putting 256mm vented rears on your passat, ...

That looks very similar to the one I have MINDRIOT , apart from the size .The display is identical. My daughter came down and did the business on it for me, FFS!!! I would have been dead long before figuring that out. She said it was more like a phone which. to me is merely a device for answering a ...

bobfish45

I won't make that mistake then Alan!!
The unit's great Mindriot, what I'll have to do is collar some clued up youngster to show me, in the meantime I'' have to listen to Smooth,TBH most of that music is my era anyway.

And also a small bottle of PAG 46 A/C oil to wet the ring-pieces before you slide things in.

I too had to think
