Ecu housing seal and bonnet pull cable grommet
Also see my new post! I found water coming in through the seam in front of the ecu hole.
It was running down the slit and into the driver side footwell

Regards Craig

I’ll reply to myself found it!!!! I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see the water disappearing through it!
The seam bottom side of the ECU hole.
And believe me there was plenty able to get down it and into the footwell.
Tiger sealed it up

I’ve about had enough now! Especially as I’ve recently changed all the back end suspension parts. I’ve recently checked under my carpets for water!!! Now I’ve done the door seals(good)…Plenum drains(clear)…pollen filter(good)…Ecu seal(good)….Bonnet Pull grommet(good) ~x( The passenger side is bone d...

I had exactly the same problem!
Ended up with Bilstein and Eibachs it’s loads better than before on the front end.

I fitted a set of these in the front of my wagon around 6mths ago!

I cut out my old tweeters and...

Are you sure it's mm not nm, because first one is size while other is torque measure for tightening bolts. Normally people tighten bushing bolts whith wheels preload not hanging, to prevent bushings for being twisted all time. Not sure if there's any specific measures stated about this process. It’...

Right bear with me!!!! I’m in the process of putting bilstein b4s and eibach springs on my sport wagon. No having taken it all off(spring snapped) I’ve checked my upper control arms and they ain’t great.... so gonna change them whilst out. Now Bentley manual talks about 47mm +-2 mm for the arm setti...

The part number for your front springs (1 blue and 1 grey spot) is 8D0 411 105 CS. Take the advice you find here about buying replacements and you will have no problems. I’ve got the part number but trying to find them is proving the problem :hyst everything else but these :(( May go down the eibac...

I used some butyl tape around mine,both side were letting in on mine.

I’ve found it coming in my wagon under the foam bung that surrounds the wiring behind the kick panel.
I thought I’d done everything and was still getting ingress!!!! Then spotted the water tracking marks and did the watering can test.

Cheers Craig

Anyone ~x( Can anyone point me in the direction of front coil springs for my wagon? 04 1.9pd 130 sport,the original broken spring has 1 blue and one grey paint marks. Checked out with stealers and they are obsolete through Vw. I don’t want to be ordering the wrong ones x_x my sticker says 1BE in the...

The last few I’ve done have been INA

Cheers Craig

No biggies there!!! I’d definitely repair.
Loads of information on here and always answers to questions

The lock body and actuator all come out with the metal carrier panel.
Door card off,window down and drive the dowel out.
Window up and tape in place,wind back down,undo lock and release the handle.
Remove the bolts on metal panel and remove said panel.

What steps are you taking to put your AC on?
Your post is confusing! Well it is to me?

I’ve had two landsails on mine and been very impressed with lack of road noise and grip levels.
Needs two more rears soon and the same will be going on!

Anybody

I’m sure they will be some guys in here able to help out.(keep the labour down)
I’d definitely keep and even more when them bits get done.

Cheers Craig

Looks gimmicky and hit or miss to make sound and proper solder joints, and expensive. Solder and heatshrink is a long proven and standard way to do repairs that done properly is more than suitable, and if you really want belt and braces coating with a hot glue gun. :) Yeah I’ve done all mine with a...

This could come in handy for a few Passat owners with water ingress?
What you all think?

Cheers Craig

Forgot to add,if you open a door and your module is working ok the car won’t automatically lock after the said door is closed. Your car only locks itself if you have a bad door module as the car doesn’t know the doors been opened so automatically locks in 30 seconds. All my locks are working as they...

I’ve got one eBay cheapy on mine and have had no problem from jmc car parts.
If the small cable that fits into the exterior handle isn’t set right this can cause problems with the setup.
If it set to tight it wouldn’t allow the drop back to register door open.

Cheers Craig

Jeez what a nightmare of a job only way to do it was a bodge, as everytime you pushed the small pin in to expand it it pushed the whole assemble back out so door inner sking back off (10 times) if there was a flange on one side be easy. so got cellertape wrapprd it aroud quite a few times so it was...
