B5.5 vs B6 ???
Hi folks, daft as this may sound and of course just my opinion. 2005 I bought my first Passat, a 2002 B5.5 TDi Sport, it had every conceivable extra added, I loved and still do to this day.

Re: Poor Performance !!!
Hi Dave, there are no fault codes, I have a small OB scanner and it shows nothing?? Fuel filter I am assuming was replaced on the service last year? It feels as if it is a fuel issue, it is sluggish no power, then boom it comes to life???

Poor Performance !!!
Hi folks, my beloved 52 plate tdi Sport has just today started to run like a bag of spanners. When you put your foot down there is a sluggish delay then it will take off. This has only started today, any ideas guys???

Re: Warranty's !!!

I have had a few claims and it has been hassl...

Re: Steering lock defective
Hi all, have mentioned in previous post that I too had the same issue, I had mine repaired by Blade VW Glos for £217 inc VAT and a 2 year warranty. I would rather a VW specialist did it than some under the arches grease monkeys. My personal preference of course. I did also complain too VW HQ statin...

Re: "condensation"
Hi mate, I had the same thing on the same lamp for the same reason. I dried it out using a hairdryer, took some fiddling to get it slotted into the back of the light, left it on for 5 mins or so and it was bone dry. Couple of hours later it was fogged up again, checked all rubber caps all on tight, ...

Hi guys, I have just had 2 new wings fitted and resprayed through my local dealer under the 12 year Anti-Corrosion Warranty. The car itself is mint but let down by the wings, I think it is a case of pushing for replacement panels as opposed to repair work. I wanted to test this cover and it has work...
