Yep pretty sure i did. Always tend to take pics on my phone a long the way so it goes back the same.

I hope you're right.

Yes I heard good things about the j and r stuff so when I found these Amazon ones didn't fit I ordered cv's from j and r . Sounds like I could be ordering a full unit now.

Weird how they didn't fail prior to removing them.

To cut a long story short i've been getting myself to replace the CV's on my 2003 1.8t . So after stripping down the shaft etc i realise that the CV's i'd bought from Amazon aren't the right size. Basically bought ones for the Auto. So i put it all back together so the car can be used this week. Onl...

I haven't done it for a while but I used to upload to photobucket then post the link in here.

Any pics of what you've done with your pcv system ?

If you find it let us know as I have similiar troubles with our 1.8t, but after sorting the cambelt, lower suspension arms and changed the oil it can wait for another weekend.

About to tackle the coolant flange on my 1.8t awt . I have the flange with built in seal and the coolant temp sensor seal and clip all from the dealers. Now question is , I thought there would be a seal to replace in the hose that goes to the heater core, but my parts dealer chap is saying there isn...

Cheers pal. Link was supposed to take you too the 079 one. Which was only 207 mm in length, similar to the current Bosch battery fitted. Thought I'd seen someone somewhere mention correct one is 027 which is longer like the one you put a link up to. Thanks for that good price too.

Is this the right battery for my B5.5 1.8t awt ?

Thought it was a 027 one.

The one on the car is a 45ah.

Sorry for bumping an old thread but anyone tried doing this with the ye olde wax paste style shoe polish ?

Don't suppose anyone knows whether Audi alloys of the A8 use a tapered or radius seat bolt ?

Thank you that man.

I'm after part no. for 2003 b5.5 estate tailgate boot latch, the part that locks to the boot floor please as I can't make out the number on mine .

Cheers in advance.

Possibly up for this too.

Fancy uping the power on the awt 1.8t we have in the wagon.

Yeh no corsa combi's allowed

Unless they're carrying porsche wheels of course ;)

That would be Mr Burns. Can't remember his user name on here.

Proper dumped on its bum with matt paint ?

He'd have been at the Bugnutz meet at Ainsworth arms.

The bottoms are definately easier than the tops imo. I just slid the bolts out as far as they would come then cut the heads off the bolts on the rear arms, then refit the bolt the opposite way around when you reassemble it. Be careful when cutting though because the fuel and brake lines are very clo...

I think I have similiar issues to yours.

I can't make my mind up whether its the struts themselves making the noise or the new arms I've put on .

Seems to start of noisy when you first set off then progressively get quieter till it almost goes.

I've whacked some spacers in there and I'll keep a check on it. Strangly the bolt that holds the strut bottom is alot nicer fit than the original vw part.

If they last 12 months I'll be happy till the funds allow for a decent kit.

Well I don't f*@king believe it !!!!

Spot the difference



There aint a hope in hell my strut will claim round that safely.

Right just trying to sort all this out with seller still. But whilst waiting I've measured the other arm discovered that the rear lower arm in the kit is infact a 16mm one. This kit is advertised for Skoda Superb but fits Passat. Aren't both the lower arms supposed to be either 16mm or 20mm ? Not a...

Good to know thanks.

I'll be going for either 4300k or 6000k . My query about fitment was more about whether the ones in the link would simply plug into existing wiring in the car, don't want to be cutting the wiring plugs etc I'd rather go for the ones in the link as they have the metal base and ceramic insulator bit w...

Hello guys,

Been looking at hid kits for a while now and was wondering if a the h7 kit in the ebay link below would be a straight forward plug and play fitment on my b5.5 ?
