Re: Allard kit or EGRvalve kit? Is there a difference?

oh I see!! I have a 2004 PD130. Got a mate that will map out the fault this kit brings up.

Wasn't sure if I should return the kit and get the Allard one instead. I guess i'll just keep it now and do the extra work.
Cheers fella! :-bd

Re: B5.5 TDi estate

Thumbs up for the work done so far!!

Never been a fan of white passats...but this!! \m/

Looks like you got the rears to sit really nice on the JOMS. I'm running 18's, took the adjusters out yesterday to get more 'lows' but yours still looks lower! :-??

Good luck with the rest of your plans!!

Whooshing noise on throttle??

Hey guys, I own a 2004 B5.5 PD130 which has done 103K. For the past week I've noticed a hissing/whooshing noise on throttle ONLY. Similar noise to a turbo winding up. (If that makes sense) I think I'm chucking out a little more smoke than usual and I think my mpg's have droppped slightly. Power is s...

The inital ride height looked good but was far too low: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x137/chohan79/20120806_184700.jpg So the following day raised it up a couple inches. Being brand new I knew they's most likely sag a little so decided to not remove the rear adjusters just yet and wait a few w...

2004 B5.5 PD130 Black Saloon - North London

Hey guys, Thought I'd start a lil thread as I've started to mod the daily. I bought the Highline in April 2012 as a daily with the plan of not modding it and spending any car money on my Corrado. http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x137/chohan79/IMG_20120403_174642.jpg http://i181.photobucket.com/alb...

Re: Tank size question

I guess it's fairly safe to say 0 miles on the computer doesn't mean any of us will be out of diesel anytime soon.

I think we could all push and easy 50 miles once the 0 figure pops up!!

Thanks for all your input guys. Helpful as always!! :-bd

Re: Tank size question

Does seem cheap fill a tank think mine was 92quid last time :-s hmmmmmm!! Sounds like a 62 litres to me. If I put 51 litres in this morning and that cost £75 at £1.46 per litre and my computer read 10 miles left. That must mean I have 11 litres as reserve. 11 litres at £1.46 per litre is £16. Â...
