Passats have a PCD of 5 (studs) by 112 (mm between opposite bolt holes) Offset standard is 45 (iirc) Merc wheels - will fit, but be careful of offset (mine are et25, so sit 20mm further out than standard) and also the bolt hole diameter (14mm w/ radius seat on passat, SOME merc wheels have 12mm w/ r...

one thing to always look for is the temp guage not giving a reading, which could mean the temp sensor is up the swanny, which tells the car to run as if it was cold all the time, in turn running rich and losing approx 4mpg

Since you have a WAGON the B5.5 tailgate fit just fine on your B5
But you must change the locking mechanism.

Perfect, Thankyou

After reading the blokes build thread properly, i actually dont like the car all that much. its a bit over-worked. dont get me wrong, i respect the work thats gone into it, but its a bit much

only 5.5 in 3 scrappys was rear ended, so im now on a waiting list with all 3 for the tailgate and loom, as i think it may be a case of swapping or splicing the loom, but we will see

Thankyou for the link, im going to go for it, im off to a scrappy saturday!

The cars looking sweet matey, what bit did you use to make the centre bit for the jap spec? ive been contemplating the mod for a while, and now have a us numberplate and wfsu holder so now is the time. is it the centre section of a saloon rear strip cut to fit?

Cheers

i used one of a honda jazz, works fine and only 4 inches long

i have a b5 estate, but im wondering, would a b5.5 tailgate fit mine?

Who did your american metal plate matey?

Im in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, id definately be up for a meet

Nice man! Good luck with the home-made jap spec. I done one, not the best. But managed to get hold of a genuine. I can get hold of the from around £80 primed. All the best with the company.
