Re: How much oil does your B6 burn?
My 2006 BXE with 183,000 miles on uses just a tiny drop really in between my 6k oil and filter changes using vw quantum 507 oil from eBay. I check the oil one every 2 weeks just as I am used to driving old bangers for many years to be cautious. Only noticed in about 5k miles I had to once top it up ...

Just out of interest I got quoted to do the Mrs 2003 beetle tdi aft engine Cambelt water pump anti freeze and aux belt £270 including vat. Sounds ok. I priced up the bits on euro car parts and it comes to £167 anyway so it's a saving of £100 if I do it myself. Mm I thought I would be saving more....

Re: diesel fuel tank mileage??
The best I got with a roof rack on is 740 miles and the red light still didn't come on I just fancied filling up as its on the way home from my night shift and wanted a full tank for the next time I worked.
I love the 1.9 tdi b6 Passat for fuel efficiency . Mileage is 178,000 and counting.

Front control arm bushes
My car passed its mot thankfully but was advised that the front control arm bushes will need replacing fairly soon in the year. It looks like 3 bolts to remove them but do I need to get the wheel aligned afterwards. Has anyone changed them yet

Re: UKPASSATS - Price List!
So can you do economy remaps or performance or both or are they a generic remap ?
How safe would this be running a smf conversion on the car to have a remap? How much mpg would be improved on the economy ones and how much bhp on the performance remap on a 1.9tdi bxe engine? Thanks

I had a valeo kit fitted to mine at 130,000 now on 174,000 and all is fine mine is a 1.9tdi bxe engine I read the reviews and all were ok. Some smf kits are poo and rattle like mad but mine feels almost stock really. No problems at all. I've read good and bad things about them.
