UKPassats

I use VAGCAT which is great but a little dated........so I found this:

Been handy so far, thought I'd let people know, might save some of those 'part number required' posts......but probably not

Look for mkv golf guides, that is what they are based on. That's how I fix mine.

I use newsouth performance for oil temp and boost they match the dash colour and font in the 5.5 so look very oem

Mine came this morning.........few things to do first before the go in......possibly hydro dip the pod.

I have a 1.9 (105bhp) and 2.0 (140bhp) tdi Tourans. Your best off doing searches for mkv golf when you are looking for stuff ( or newer if your touran is newer) as they are the same setup.

Ideal, Looking at VDO at the moment but that can change as no money has changed hands yet, but have just ordered a nsw pod.....going for a boost gauge, you running bar or psi? Just trying to decide what other as it's a double pod.

Out of interest, who runs what gauges (boost, temp, voltage....whatever) and what make.....thinking of fitting a voltage and boost.

After owning the passat for 7 odd years, putting 120,000 odd miles on her, changing interiors 3 times, at least 5 different sets of alloys, a failed head gasket, failed master cylinder at 80mph ( interesting drive that was), and so close to getting her finally finished, it has come time to get rid ...

Someone I know is having his 2005 A4 shipped over from the States, now I know the headlights will need altering (planned to get UK versions and swap them) and would need Eurolight switch and a fog light wiring in. Anyone know what else might need changing (not worried about the registering etc, that ...

I have Greenstuff pads on with the Ultimax discs, they are better than the previous setup of Redstuff pads and Black Diamond disc, they used to need to 'warm up' to get good braking.....but Greenstuff have been great, going to try Yellow next but not sure what discs.

Not looking to loose the rear speakers for subs, mainly as I have bought all component set up to replace my blown standard ones. Looking for the active subs, mainly the alpine ones I have seen on eBay, mainly as I can link two together.

Just wondering if any one was running underseat subs in their 5/5.5? I'd post it in the ICE section but this is 5/5.5 specific, I know caddy drivers do, wondering if anyone on here did and if so what.....

I used a kit from Machine Mart.......turned out well, need to get another tho as I had to change the units due to carelessness by a garage.

A 2007 Passat is most likely a B6, a quick look on eBay gives this..... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vw-Volkswagen-passat-tdi-b6-2007-bxe-complete-under-tray-engine-under-tray-/121053503673?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Cars+Year%3A2007%7CModel%3APassat%7CPlat_Gen%3AB6%2C3C2&hash ...

Just like to say a big thanks or this.....just done mine, 3 were in a poor state, fitted Beru from GSF £28 all in.......that bracket is a mare to get out.....but even more of one to get back in.

I don't miss Moyles, but he was less annoying than 'Grimmy'............

Not looking for any parts particular, but I enjoy a good old rummage at at scrappy.....so wondering, as I spend at least 3 days a week due to work in Harrogate, are there any good scrappy a that have a good turn over or stock of VW's in the area?

I have seen this, I showed it to my brother and he reckons that somone on one of his vaux forums has used them and had good results (for that money it's not worth the hassle doing yourself even....once you add up the time and materials). If you do a search on google you get good and bad reports of ...

178688 - VW Passat 01 B5.5 1.9TDi Saloon (130 AWX)

About 85 items, be less by the time I log in tomorrow. Quite a bit of car related stuff (For my Passat/Touran/my brothers Caddy), Audio/tech stuff for my flat up country/house down south, work related stuff (kit/uniform), then about 15 random items that I clicked on.

I was only on about the front disc's, as per the OP's request...... Not pads and delivery (which for green stuff pads and discs for the front) is still £220 from EBC so you still lost out. But for ultimate disc all round and green stuff pads (front and rear) plus delivery is £333.37.

But I am ...

Quote from me??? Im not supplier :hyst Mine EBC was straight from EBC and cost me 254 or something around 255....So i said about £250.
So im surprised that you heve them from next person (dealer/seller) and they was cheaper.

Mine are grooved and drilled so may be that why more expensive.

Didn't ...

EBC but i dont know where you had them from, mine ones cost over 250 :shock: just front.

Is that a question? If so, the answer is still Camskill. £250? Remind me not to get quotes for work from you :-P even from EBC direct their top of the range is £164, you need to search the web a bit more :D

EBC Ultimax, got the part number from their website (usr1045) and got them from Camskill £139 odd at the mo, but sure I paid less.

Got the rears at the same time and put Greenstuff pads on all round.

It must be the time of year for it as mine had started this......the above reply is what you'll find on the Ross Tech website......possible solutions would be check the hoses, replace the N75 valve or take off the turbo and clean it (or if damaged replace) ........of course you could be lucky (and ...

Yeah will do that when the cards are off, and when I put new speakers in, no point doing if the speakers are shot.
