To pass the NCT (Irish MOT) I can either go back to the stock pair of candles or fit all this extra stuff and keep the xenons.

Firstly my apologies for digging up an old thread. I have OEM xenons on my B5.5, and I want to fit the headlight washer system and self levelling. Of course the cost will be more than the value of the car at this stage but what's new eh? From another site the shopping list is as follows: Part number...

Thank you sir, handy job for Saturday morning.....

Thank you, does it make any sense that this would only happen in the warm up phase?

Good evening folks, I'm looking for a little bit of diagnostic help please. My car is a 2003 AVF 4MO Saloon standard car. In the recent past I've had a new radiator installed, replaced the coolant pipe on the passenger side of the head and replaced the coolant outlet at the back of the head due to l...

Best of luck, saloon or estate?

It's difficult to know exactly but I've absolutely no service history with it so the truth probably lies in a combination of all of the above. Very happy to have her running sweet again.

The mechanic who changed it for me says he's changed loads of them over the years.

She was starting to complain from the inside out. I think I was approaching catastrophic failure by the time I got to investigate. :ymsigh: http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt221/s_miller79/WP_20170221_16_39_46_Pro_zps9ani8jkl.jpg http://i614.photobucket.com/albums/tt221/s_miller79/WP_20170221_16_...

Fair point. Funny I'd read the following description on several of their Passat parts and thought it was covered. Strangely it's missing from the part above. That said, an email might clarify for someone who is interested. Special Note: The vast majority of VW's have a 12mm shaft that the shift knob...

Maybe a bit on the pricey side but appears to be the real deal.

Hello,

Does anybody know if this cap will fit the b5.5 4MOTION Gear Knob? Mine is gone very tired looking.

If this one is not suitable does anybody have a part number / link to a suitable part. Needs to be a 6 speed.

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a good old fashioned boost leak. Check all of the hoses between the airbox and the inlet manifold for cracks or leaks.

Clutch master cylinder is knackered I reckon.

Hope this helps.. Leave the inner foam. Remove and bin the outer foam. Clean the surface of the filter housing and the opposite surface of the car. Before applying sealant practice the installation maneuver. I used dirko sealing compound. Sealing compound of everlasting elasticity. I put a thick bea...

Yes because 3wd is better than 1wd.

I've a notion to seek out some upgraded front seats for my Passat 4motion, what options have I for plug and play?

For instance would B5 RS4 seats fit without mods?

I think I'll go side mount if I can find suitable

Does anybody have a link to an smic that would support say 230ish bhp on my avf b5.5? I've seen that dark side do some upgraded smic kits but i don't see any specific to the b5.5.

Road Trip photos are always good.

Welcome along.

Did you fit a front LSD?

The common source for the torsen rear is to get the rear diff from a 1990's Audi V8 and swap the internals out.

Get a super B estate, ye'll all be able to move into it and won't need a house.

Car is a depreciating asset. House hopefully appreciate over a long enough time scale.
