Spacers

What brand wheel spacers do people use? I've read on line about some spacers leading to vibration from the front because they are of poo quality.
Don't want any vibrations!! :shock:

Discs and pads

Evening all. I'm due to replace discs and pads on my 03 4motion tdi estate and wondered what was the current preference? I don't want to spend a fortune but don't want poo. There are well priced brembo discs on eBay but again, don't know what's good and what to avoid. Also there seems to be a lot of...

Re: Help! Key in boot!!

There was something about drilling a 20mm hole behind the number plate to pull the bar from the barrel to the lock.
I think it might have to be a window as it's the cheapest option.

Re: Standard 4motion

Thanks for the input lads. I'd love some Phoenix rims but they never seem to come up for sale. I do think Phoenix's are the best looking rims for the b5 followed by the RS6s. Am I right in thinking my 4 motion has sport suspension set up as standard? Lowering kits do seem to be harder to select on t...

Standard 4motion

So I've bought a 2003 Passat 4motion estate. My third Passat after a break as I needed a van. I'd like to put some Audi Rs6 alloys on her. Do I need any spacers and would it look daft on standard suspension height? I know there's threads out there but I'm just being lazy!! Any pictures with these al...

Re: Front speaker upgrade.

Cheers for the link mate. Still doesn't make sense why it's so quiet. I've already drill the rivets out the old one and I also then noticed they were the wrong size! :-q
I don't really know what a crossover is for either, do you know roughly what part they play?

Re: Front speaker upgrade.

Spoke to the supplier and apparently the cross overs have been made smaller and are already in the speaker cables (small sealed section) so not sure now how I'll run the speakers and tweeters!! :sad:
