UKPassats

Hi

Log book has arrived so if anyone is interested let me know

Hi everyone, It's a sad day as the wagon is for sale and in the classifieds. I've sold my pd130 golf and treated myself to a mk5 golf gti and the wife wanted a Tiguan so changed from a Passat tdi sport to a Tiguan tdi sport, the apple does not fall far from the tree. Had many happy times in the old ...

i have the same, been fine for years now one has condensation. i've changed light units completely previously one at a time and it worked but i found them to be one darker than the other so ended up buying both off the same car. this time you could see a half inch of water at the bottom i think beca...

Thanks for that, that makes sense. I did have a look for an under tray when it ripped off but they were expensive and I think the dealers wanted a fortune for the clips so I followed a few people's advice and left it. Obviously I should have done as now I have sound proofing hanging off!!!

I suppose most will have encountered this being Passat owners but both my front wings are rusted beyond repair and vw didn't want to know when I tried to get them to change them under warranty so I'm going to have to fork out eventually. I've tried passats being broken on eBay but it's bad enough fi...

Easy one I'm sure, I've got a small square piece of insulation hanging off the underneath of my tdi wagon, dead centre under the engine. Not sure what it's protecting but I can't find anywhere to secure it but it's hard to get off. The plastic cover was ripped off a few years ago when the missus dro...

So this has started again worse than ever, if anyone has any advice, would appreciate it.

I think you're right, weird that I don't remember these snapping, I'll get a couple ordered, thanks for your help.

I love it when it's an easy fix!

I mean the jets have come out of their little square holes in the underside of the bonnet and are just loose and I can't clip them back in, there doesn't seem to be anything to click the back into?

Hi

How on earth do you clip the washer jets back into the underside of the bonnet? I don't think anything has snapped off the unit but I can't get them to sit right and now I can only spray the bottom of the screen as they are just hanging? Is there something obvious I'm not doing?

Thanks for clearing that up guys

Thanks for the reply, I won't bolt him to the roof rack if i can't swap them over, I've just got 2 brackets in one car and none in the other and only need one in each. I'll get one ordered.

Hi all, I've bought a mk4 golf pd130 for the wife as I was so impressed with my passat and the 03 golf has isofix brackets but not on the 03 Passat. I've read the helpful how to and it looks easy enough to retrofit but instead of forking out £40 at the stealers I was hoping I could pinch one out of...

Don't hold me to this but i believe my AVF engined 1.9tdi passat has had a v6 gearbox in, when mine started making the dreaded whirring noise i got it off a nice chap off here for next to nothing. i was dubious because it had a different number on the box but it fitted up ok, i didn't ask questions ...

The 1st owner will have ticked wood effect on the options list and paid £340 for that pleasure!!!

Where in Stoke? thats my neck of the woods???

thats what i call clean!!! your mate handy with a machine polisher to get that mirror finish???

Royal mail would charge more than the wheels worth buddy!!!

I've heard good things about these guys : http://www.paisleyfreight.com/alloy-wheel-courier.php doesn't matter how heavy they are they deliver a full set for not much

Local scrapyard will sort this matey, save your money!

howey wrote:great list there Gazwould, now I hope this is an end to "The great oil debate" which seems to occur weekly!

i started the same argument about a month ago!! hahah

Never used to a fan of Silver Passats but you have just changed that, great looking Wagon!!! Well done!

Don't bother, my mudflaps catch everything on thats on normal sport ride height, make a horrible noise! Lovely car btw, just read your thread start to finish, i like how you cool you were when you got your chrome roof rails "oh just stuck these on the other day" i've been searching for the...

This is great guys thanks for wrapping this up From this i can rest assurred that the 507 quantum i have in my passat right now is fine but i think at the next service i will put in 505.01 just because its a bit thicker and i'll be changing it every year and within 10k anyway. The 507 quantum gold a...

Gaz, you've just made me laugh, ive spent all afternoon researching this on here and i've been on the TPS website and Castrol website among others and some say long life is fine and others says only put 505.01 as the longlife is not for PD engines and won't do them any good? ive read the owners manu...
