Piston ring blow by ? I bloody hope not the engines nearly brand new :( Decat and remap then I'd say it is completely normal, just diesel soot. Is the car light coloured / silver? Yeah Silver/Blue I just feel its getting more and more obviously its hard to tell when the roads are so wet and dirty t...

Hello again it seems to be getting worse so I thought I best start looking in to it! Basically I've got a low mileage (sub 80k) B5.5 Estate 130 Tdi which I've had for ages and can see me keeping it for ever till it dies just hope that's not anytime soon basically I've had it remapped with a black Sm...

Thanks for the replies I'm going to go and change them all today ready for the winter, and I've never changed a bulb on the back since buying the car which was about 4 years ago

Alright folks, I noticed the other day when reversing on to the drive that one side of my rear lights is dimmer than the other. The brake lights reverse lights and indicators look the same but the side lights 1 seems dimmer than the other and its by quite a bit. Its not off it still lights up just a...

Morning all my drivers door has started squeaking and on closer in spection one of the blots is coming loose

What size spline do I need to order?

Thanks

Radiator would be my first guess, mine had a small hole in the rear at about 150k that you could see from under the bonnet, when I took the bumper off to change it there was a much bigger one on the n/s bottom corner on the front. It didn't drip or steam, just a tell tale orange stain. Thanks will ...

Morning all not sure what made me look but in the last 4 years of owning this beaut of a car I've never checked the coolant always just have it serviced once a year nothing mentioned about it being low or anything never noticed a problem anyway last weekend I had 400 mile round trip so thought I'd c...

Morning all a few weeks ago I was stuck in traffic and I noticed some smoke passing past the car (guessing the wind was blowing that way) but then reved the car and nothing again so didn't worry about it then yesterday I noticed it again but it was more smokey when I'd had my foot down and let off y...

Yeah... Blacksmoke remap which I had done about 2 year ago

The leak on the flex must have really let the power down

well I'm blown away, this simple decat has made a huge difference! Basically I've has an annoying constant whistle for the last 3 years of driving this car and a friend told me it was the turbo about to go so I thought ill keep going and see what happens, turns out now I've changed to a decat it was...

That's because you need a link pipe off ebay ! http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k57/karlthekarter/oldandnewcats.jpg Sorry to be a pest but which one? there's a load on eBay by the same company with a different number at the end of the title :| http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1x-OE-Quality-Replacement-Ex...

Hahahaha I feel like a right tool now

Will have to order one of them this weekend

This one off eBay bought new and selected the right model

I've jacked the car up and there's no flange after the cat

Morning all! Fitted some HID headlight bulbs before a long weekend driving up and around the Highlands and didn't really notice as I had my iPod on but on returning to the local area I put the radio on and had no reception until I got home and switched the headlights off switched them on and off the...

I'm really pleased with it! Maybe will only going with 10mm spacers front and back once I get the springs fitted! The wheels fill the arches nicely at the minuet

Maybe

Well I've got lots of miles to do as of Friday morning so gave the Passat a check over and noticed the tyres on my old wheels were well very very close to the limit so I've had to put the Doningtons on earlier than I'd wanted but I'm sure they can come off for a refurb at some point!

Must have just been the dust guard had all the weeks off checked the disks and pads and everything's alright not as bad as I was expecting!

The only thing I know is good is under the battery as I replace the battery a couple month ago and it was fine!
