Cheers mate. Yeah i'll take a look later. I'll have to get a replacement mechanism and out side trim hmmm....

Quantum Platinum fully synthetic.

Hi all, Just picked up my b5 estate this weekend and im just finding out the few problems it as. One of which is the mirror switch is broken, so i cant adjust the mirrors. Another other, bigger problem is that the tailgate hatch was hard to open, gripping the handles didnt seem to release the hatch,...

Sorry i meant clutch master cylinder not brake as i put above.

Being so specific with requirements will make your task difficult, not impossible but difficult.

Type your reg into Eurocarparts site and see if the brake disc description gives a measurement.

1, Cars - particularly VWs
2, Marine fish
3, PS3 - battlefield 3, F1
4, Motorsport
5, Mountain biking
6, Real Ale & Belgium beer
7, Walking
8, Occasionally fishing, not THAT into it, but enjoy it if i do go.

If youve only got v maxx cash to spend, then youd be better off getting shocks/springs. you would get a decent set for the same price as the v maxx coilovers and you prob wont regret spending the cash on the shocks/springs.

Sounds like the brake master cylinder is on its way out. but odd that you were able to pull it back up and then use it as normal, without it just going to the floor again.

haha thought something was broken as i pressed quote on your post but it said something different to what you'd put.

see above my response mate.

ah in that case i apologise. Thought you were referring to my reason for saying it was worth about 1800.

Instead of throwing profanities at me, why not give a constructive opinion on why im wrong??

i reckon its worth what its at now. Problem is youve posted a auction on a forum and made everyone aware of it.

thanks.

No they're 7.5j and they're around eT 32 i think.

thanks for the reply mini_dub.

hi mini_dub. Running spares doesnt bother me as such, i run 10mm spacers on the corrado. but its something id ideally like to avoid - only reason i run them on the corrado is because i love the set of wheels i got but they required 5-10mm spacers to get them to clear the front brakes. so for the rig...

hi all,

can anyone tell me what range of ET without using spacers wheels fit on a b5 and what the standard ET is?

i know the can be an open question as it also depends on width. so if i say go on 7 or 7.5j wheels

Thank you

Fair enough if you dont find them too bad. but v-maxx are indeed budget coilovers. something like weitecs are mid range.

looking on ebay, they range from £372 - £560, for not much more you could get a set of weitecs which are good midrange coilovers.

IME they p00p. Havent had them fitted to a passat, only a corrado and seriously they're cheap for a reason. They didnt ride well, very harsh. save you £££ and get something better. Cheapest id go are Weitecs.

hi Fuzzynuts!

oops wrong thread

Cheers guys, thanks for the warm welcome.

The gf is calling me an old man for wanting an estate but i did show her some pics of how cool a passat estate can look. She was impressed
