Any recommendations on the brand of top mounts to buy? Price etc?

At least one of mine has a slight leak[emoji51] Yes that reminds me, are there any other parts that should be replaced whilst this all gets done? I remember seeing a post somewhere in here where not only top mounts but a few other parts should be replaced. Including screws somewhere..I really can't ...

Thanks for the reply, very helpful. Mm if the drop with B12's fitted would be 10-15 more than what I have I'm very tempted. How different is the B12 ride from the OEM sport ride? I appreciate the best way to find out would be to find someone that has them fitted to take me for a spin but is it much ...

Morning, I've more or less decided on Bilstein B6 shocks and Eibach Pro Kit springs as a complete replacement for my car's suspension from reading posts here in the forum. There is also the B12 kit I'm tempted by as seems to work out about the same price more or less. As I understand it this will lo...

Thanks for the replies.That is very interesting but a little disappointing as mine is humming all the time! I have to say it sounds too loud to be correct but at the same time it's not excessively loud but anyone who hears it agrees it doesn't sound right to hear this in the car. I cant really hear ...

I'm in need of a bit of advice. My fuel pump on my 2007 B6 2.0 TDI failed a month or so ago so had it replaced straight away. Since the replacement there has been a humming sound coming from the rear underside/under rear seat area where the pump is situated. I have told the independent garage who fi...

Sounds good fcbsoci and thanks, I will have a think about what I want. Thanks everyone else for the feedback too. Are there any major differences between a 315 and 510? The price difference would suggest that. I've seen a few for sale on eBay/Facebook etc and I can't understand why I used units that...

Hello, this is my new motor. Bought it today; 2007 2.0L Tdi 170hp Sport DSG. 110k on the clock [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170504/5b416af37627a1692208199c7b365d90.png[/IMG][IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170504/7f5c12b7fd61666d8017a7d27836e977.png[/IMG][IMG]https://uploads.tapata...

Ok thanks, yeah I'll have a think..

Easy to fit?

That's a good deal! Years ago was after a 510 but never bothered and just got out of touch with it all. Things move on quite quickly as always

Just wondering what options to go for and of course the prices

Thanks for the feedback here.
I stand corrected then, Mmm thinking I won't get the lowers coded as I can not deal with them being easily damaged but wrapping all the lower sections sounds like a much better prospect.

Thanks for the feedback so far. I've requested quotes for the work from 3-4 body shops in Swindon (where I am). This one http://spraywellsltd.co.uk/ responded first and quoted £250 plus VAT. I was as specific as I could be and even sent them a photo of a B5.5 saloon in the colour of the car I'm inte...

Hello all, Anyone have any idea how much it would cost to get the OEM lower black plastic bumper sections and side skirts on the B5.5 saloon colour coded? I have my eye on a tidy grey B5.5 highline TDI saloon. I love the colour but I'm not a fan of the chunky black lower trim. I've seen some nice ex...

Is there any difference in the gearboxes on Passat automatic Highlines and Sport models or are they the same box?

I do have warranty for 3 months but this doesn't cover anything to do with the central locking, I've been communicating with the dealer by text and have explained the issue in full detail to him but he's not offering to do anything, I'll be asking him if he knew about the issue, whether he did or di...

Does anyone know any businesses or people in the preferably in the Swindon area who are or is a specialist in central locking? I bought a b5.5 estate at the weekend from a dealer and have now discovered that central locking doesn't work, the near side doors won't lock, when I try to lock the hazards...

Thanks Alun, can anyone else confirm this?

Hi, I have V4, and it's compatible with RNS MFD and RS S2, I want to know what is the most up to date DVD navigation disc I can replace V4 with?

Many thanks

Thanks

Hi I do own a passat but have just bought a 1995 mk3 golf cl diesel to drive to work The golf came with old school vw alloys, 15" and steels, I changed the wheels over to the steels and came to change the front drivers side/off side and found no lip where the jacking point is so when using the ...

I'd like to know if this is a DIY job too. mine has about a foot of wear in the middle of the sill section where the previous owner must have dragged themselves in and out of the car. in fact there are slight signs of wear on most of the surfaces/trim just inside the driver door, it's as if Hagrid w...

fitted my off side one yesterday, looks as good as the previous one when off and whilst flashing. not bad for the price and eaaaasy to replace.
