Re: Fuel
Main ingredient at play here within the additive package is 2-EHN to raise the Cetane number which you can purchase and very small quantities are required per tank .

Re: Mr Muscle oven cleaner trick
I think 5W40 505.01 has gone lower saps anyway to what it was . As an anti wear additive Zinc is sacrificial between two metal surfaces to prevent wear , thus gets used up with mileage , it's about having enough till the next change rather than lots , so a LongLife oil will have plenty being it's su...

Re: Price of remaps gone up?
Ask him for a breakdown of quote gutting of dpf and Stage 2 software , you may find the gutting expensive as that's the only real manual labour and welding of the job . If expensive ask around for a cheaper dpf gutting price , most mechanics are sympathetic towards this given they are frontline at w...

Re: Passat B6 2.0 TDI Re-installing twin balancer gear driven oil pump
DMitch16 is the man for this . Just replacing the 77mm hex key in an already worn #2 balancer shaft keyway is a huge fail. What you need is a remanufactured modified 100mm kit , this gets you bullet proof engineering where better materials and fit through more contact length and surface area with a ...

Re: Back after 9yrs!!
Welcome back .
Unfortunately the B6 was the worse modern Passat ever produced and the B7 ( really a facelifted B6 ) mildly better .
To this day B6 are still going to the scrapyard through premature rust and the oil pump drive planned obsolescence .
B5.5 or B8 gets my vote .

Re: Eibach springs
B8 are 'firm' even B4 are slightly uprated , plus I didn't want yellow bananas for shock absorbers .
Koni Special ACTIVE are a good choice now as they're a dual rate damper like the Bilstein B4 DampMatic I've got on the Stuttgart .
