Re: towing advice

That's what I had on my B6, 13pin and I bought a 13 to two 7 pin conversion lead, so in theory if I use the 7 to 13 pin converter, I could use the same setup with the B% as I did with the B6. In my head this works :-? :-? :-?

towing advice

Has anyone on here towed a caravan with their slammed Passat ??

Any advice regards my fitted Fk coilovers, ie how much do I need to raise rear and can I harden the ride to compensate extra weight.

Re: Coilovers and clumber park

Have you got the c spanners? A flat bit of road/driveway?

Yeah, the guy I bought it off left two of these 'C' spanners in the boot. Got a nice flat drive, trolley jack etc.

About an hour !!!, take me that to find the locking wheel nut tool, then tea break etc... :hyst

Thanks for the advice ...

Hi all,

Never ever EVER am I going there again in the B5.5.

Got me thinking tho that ...

Re: newbie with a b5

Hell and Welcome to UKP.

Very nice looking car but what is the actual colour as I assume that is a Photoshop tint, unless the guy in the background got the same colour!!
And the grass has all turned purple lol. Done on my Nexus, here is the original.
