UKPassats

The 35w ones were 8000, and the current 55w are 6000 as I was told they have more lumens.

Hey ive had my b5.5 passat for a while now and it's not without it's small problems. However I do love the car but 1 thing really bugs me is the poor headlights, with halogens, see nothing, 35w hid's not great, 55w hid's are slightly better. They are projectors lights. But if I be honest normal head...

Well I see im not alone on this one then lol. Mine is just serviced about 2-3 weeks, all filters and oils changed. The glow plugs mat be damaged/not working but would that not mean it would be hard to start? i mean first turn and its started no problem.

Hey guys, me again, wondering if anyone can help once again. Every time well 4/5 times i start my car and the smoke from the rear pours from it and this is not just when its cold, its constant, and not only that it would take the breath from you, its like sulpher or something in it? your eyes and al...

I dont know whats wrong with mine but im getting 30mpg on my 1.9 130pd If i go on long journeys it might go up to 36, but if you go by the at the time reading, if you accelerate even slightly, i get about 19mpg. Something seriously wrong but dont know where to start.

Ebay ?? Thanks but I tried there already, can get them for the B6 but not B5 which seat are you looking for? i'll have my SE interior for sale soon so you'd be welcome to a front seat for £20 (the passenger one will be available first though as my new drivers seat needs a bit of tlc) Im looking fo...

Does anyone know where I can buy the foam seat padding for the front seats of my passsat se. I know i can get them from the dealers but they are 98+vat, was looking to see if i can get them online or cheaper somewhere?

Going by the ad you posted "FAQ - PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY Can this exhaust fit any car? the exhaust is universal, so will fit any car. How can I fit the exhaust? depending on type of exhaust system currently on your car this exhaust will need to be weld, it will cost around £50 - £60 for a...

Hey all, I was wondering if its possible to put a b6 steering wheel on my b5.5 and if so would it be possible to get the airbag and multi function to work?

Some useful information with pics there guys, I also have same problem, will try this out. Thanks.

Hey guys, it's that time where I have yet another problem. My fuel switch is not functioning properly. It will not open my fuel door. It's giving a reading of over 4v I think when button is pressed so I thought the switch is working so I bought an solenoid for the fuel door. Think that's what you ca...

Yea Ill have to get the injector fixed or replaced, but its gotten no worse over the month that I can notice anyhow but the fuel this week and end of last is awful. However motorway driving is pretty much non existant as they are over 50 miles away, its all town and small roads, however i had a tole...

Hi all, I wrote on here about the bad mpg im receiving before but its getting worse lately. its a 130 awx passat se. Im getting about 36.5mpg currently and it seems to be going down each day. The only problems I have is that some times my number 3 injector sticks on start up but goes normally after ...

Bought the ebay kit myself, currently done 8k with them and fitted 6 months on mainly country roads, no more squeeks or rattles. still silent. glad i bought them and not the more expensive ones tbh.

When I done my awx head I replaced my water pump, and have done with any car. It's a cheap part even from vw that if you old one jams with your new belt your in bother. Think the genuine one was only £32 from dealer with metal propellers. As for radiator, well I looked the forums here and didn't se...

I thought mine was from the polen filter to but it wasn't. It had the same problem as my blastid Toledo. Leaking through the door seals. All better now though.

Unfortunately not, I ordered the front ones thinking i wouldn't want them, upon fitting them I then thought I would like the rear but havent gotten round to getting them.

Updated pics with a few things attached.

Thanks for the help everyone, a lot of useful info there. Cheers. Another in agreement with Dubber36. Also, you alter the rear tyres to compensate for load, like Toonmania mentioned. An MOT garage monkey will have a tolerance chart of some sort, if they're too under-inflated they will most likely pu...

Cheers for the help guys, you run your 18's at 47? wow, is that normal pressure for them? I run around 36. I thought that was a bit high. :/

Ive the new MOT requirements in front of me here and its basically says if the car is missing a catalytic converter it will fail. Doesnt mention diesel or petrol however. This is an NI MOT to btw if that makes any difference.

Have you seen the MOT centers in Northern Ireland? lol they would check each tyre they are that thran. Safest bet I think will be the 16's not sure about their ramps though, the final one is quite big. Thanks for the help anyhow guys.

ah right I see, so if for example it says 28 front and 26 back, adjust my 18's to be the same? but will that not be a bit low for 18's? sorry for the amateur questions. And thanks for the replies thus far.

I never looked as i didn't know where the stamp was mate, but im sure it doesnt give the pressures for 18" though, I will check however.

Hey guys, quick question, hope someone can help. The motor is up for MOT at the start of next month and I see new regulations are in. One I see is tyre pressure, Im running 18" RS8's does anyone know what the proper pressure is for a passat? Its a 130 SE if that makes any difference. Of course ...
