Thought this might help a few. its for the older 505.01 oil for cars without dpf, alot of us still running. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303136363917?hash=item469455d58d:g:oC4AAOSwCy5cws2P&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8IkIv8mR6O%2BDPEsjMvnoarcXMXewGj8y5%2FU8YgBmsT7etJzH96%2B7Yc3XZAG63ghleJtz%2F55wqN7mwyZS...

i think most of us with b5.5s would have changed one of these at some point.
a tip maybe leave the tube in warm water as is very tight to fit you dont want it to break again even though it cost a couple of quid. i think i even gave mine a gentle bang with a hammer. dont recall any o-rings replacing.

I went for a tubro upgrade from LP turbos based in wakefield, it looks like you have most of the supporting mods fmic. I got a hybrid turbo which supports an extra 30bhp than a standard, when i spoke with the remapper he wanted to know the turbo flow rates, unfortunately LP was unable to provide as ...

So got the car back from garage and covered abit of miles. Been told not to go crazy booting in, need to let turbo settle. First thing the turbo whine has gone, alot of people say its normal but after this i can say a turbo whine is not normal. Now its time to get the remap done. Sent from my SM-G95...

One thing I could do was fit the stereo from my passat, i had the iso lead from passat but sods law this used canbus. Ordered lead at fitted. Kenwood double din. Mainly for music on usb that hasnt been updated from my teens lol. I noticed a whistle when driving it was the turbo, unfortunately while ...

On the 40 miles drive back home the temp didnt not hit 90, i had changed a thermostat on the old passat was quite simple. This engine looked hard work so asked mechanic to change. All good now hit and stays at 90. As you can see the condition of car is excellent never seen wings on a car of this era...

Here it is.... 2006 Jetta 2.0tdi with BKD engine Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Been a member for years but never showed off any off my cars, to be fair they have just been standard and looked after. But this forum has helped me out loads, friendly lot. I had a b5.5 Passat that was just excellent think it hit 210000 and my cosuin was part exchanging his 2011 a6 for a q5 so offe...

Car was owned by an elderly couple used for pottering around town hence the low mileage. it has been serviced regularly with invoices to prove. this type of driving causes problems for the turbo im led to believe. Ive had only TDIs all my driving life (18 years) so pretty confident it is the turbo, ...

mileage is 103k think its been driven locally alot so turbo is making the 'siren' like noise. i called a few places yesterday, one was £326 for a remanufactured turbo, one didnt get back to me, and the third which is the one im mostly interested in is a hyrbid turbo from LD parts services based in W...

Jetta with BKD engine... i have a whining turbo and thought its a good time to do a few things to the car, mainly a recon turbo and egr delete and then remap.
Has anyone got any recommendations for a turbo supplier preferably in the northwest/lancashire.

I had a 2011 a6 til a month ago, it was on 70k milage and immaculate, but my brother had a 2007 a6 with 140ish mileage. the drive and handling was way better in his 2006. now im going back one generation as i think they are the best cars to have. would love a passat my first 2 cars being passats. yo...

I think it is a bad earth as with the temp fix it starts. no evidence my auto electrician skills are poor.
good point in fuse panel. Brand new battery fitted a few months ago.

Luckily got it in to auto electrician should be able to find where it is bad.

Thanks for your help

Passat b6 2010, few weeks ago struggles to start, rac came out diagnosed starter motor. replaced and the car still did not start. turns out it is a bad earth but dont know where to look. As a temp fix i have got a new earth wire from battery to the body, car starts but id like to find the real cause...

excellent work, like rarities like this, not eveybody want the latest audi/bm

Hi mate

Im a few hours away in burnley,lancashire but thought id offer.

Anyone who needs a scan happy to help uk passat members

any vw507.00 spec oil will do.
ebay - quantum longlife its a gold bottle and is what vw dealers used a bargain at £25.

probably best to go for an allowance rather than company car as they will probably only have crappy options available. Bro got an Arteon, theres no feel to the new cars he preferred the drive of my b5.5 and even i do compared to my 2011 audi a6. Passat b5/5.5 has to be one of the best cars of all ti...

nice looking car, makes a difference seeing a newer car in such a nice colour

After 14 years of one b5 and one b5.5 im thinking of upgrading to a 2011 CC.
Any common faults to look out for? or any advice?
Will be the family car, and is the one with 3 seats at the back, are these ok to fit 3 people as the side ones look abit bucket style.

thanks in advance.

Probably best going to a tyre place and get them to remove it and replace with a standard bolt. Let's be real why do standard alloys need locking nuts

well done YAS. hope they got fitted!

dont know the car, but ive come across a few forums where this garage has not been highly rated. google it and see for yourself.
good luck finding one! there only seems to be a handful r36 for sale at any time.

How can i find out the engine code / number.
Engine been taken out of car, no timing belt cover so cant read from there. Anyone know where the engine number is and can you get the engine code from it?
Thanks
