thats the plan mate, well i been saying it for last year but something aelse always came across so will see what happens

100% sure it was on every model. you should feel it when you put your hand in. unless your headlights afre aftermarket ones?

nice looking wagon mate good job on brakes i need to coat mine as well. i said this before and i will say it to you too- i m freaking lovin your interior

yep mate didnt do anything for like 6 months :oops: so i have to catch up to keep it in good shape. I also got cv boots replaced. still have pair of front shocks sitting in shed for last 8 months so they need to go on as well, thats when im thinking of putting new springs on as well. I m doing 3000 ...

looks really nice mate, awesome progress on this

it looks soo much better now with leather in

service part 2- replaced ht leads as old ones were falling apart. throttle body had to come out of way so i cleaned it at same time but didnt disconnect it completely. http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s400/LUIGI-3/CE200245-035C-4A8A-8E8D-C4C01BC10CC5-1438-000000E30D592418_zps8bff86db.jpg?t=137987...

thank you ;) it certainly feels lot better now

changed ht leads and cleaned throttle body. also found both cv boots split and grease everywhere. gettin fixed tomorrow

Oh - I though the visuals were impressive improvement- more efficient use of pixels, screen looks bigger on all views. Shame about the grey band in the home screen... That will go soon I am sure, like it did previously. How to turn parallax off. Whether it saves energy. What it's actually for lol!!...

i think the functionality is improved and i also like these new features but visually its rubbish

hello and welcome mate nice clean saloon. looks good base to start with

is it continous until 20mph? could be cv joint?

does it happen when your steering wheel is straight or when turning to either side?

First a muti storage car park now what looks like a large sand pit you sure can pick your places to work on the car hahaha I might start doing this get oil on some one else's front haha In all seriousness great job :) Regarding you ht lead failing that Subaru I had started having a misfire under ha...

Thats pretty poor if it has a full VW service history. can't believe a garage would put a selection of different plugs. The one in the picture seems to have a good layer of crud on it. I used to have a Dolomite many many years ago that used to use loads of oil and the plugs used to look a bit like ...

alrite, i havent actually realised how many of us got involved with him. i suppose i was lucky i didnt send him that payment for door leds, number plate leds, and glove box light

Just wondered if anyone heard of him ? Did send him few PMs regarding LEDs he was selling but no reply. last reply was in february or march to which he replied that he is busy with preparing for UD2013

just thought i would share my dissapointment- i had my passat over 18 months now. bought it from retired accountant with full vw service. now on monday i replaced spark plugs and found them in shocking state and as a cherry on top they were all different :-s so im just thinking what other surprises ...

had a day off so did a bit of servicing oil http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s400/LUIGI-3/null_zps2174ea72.jpg?t=1378916480 last time i done it was last year december and have done 7500miles so no wonder it was black :oops: http://i1049.photobucket.com/albums/s400/LUIGI-3/null_zpsfadbef45.jpg?t=1...

yeah agree with cliff, in austria b5.5s highline models are still going for 6-7k euros. i think throughout europe b5.5s are very valued cars due to their reliability.
