Had the Wagon with Eibach Pro's loaded up with gravel and paving slabs, I pooed myself on how low the bum end was and drove home gingerly, it coped far better than my expectations. How do people cope with other suspension with little arch gap and full loads, is it that stiff that the suspension com...

No the springs I bought the front is meant to be lower with the rear spring rubbers removed it is around 55 on the front and 50 on the rear so a little bit of rake.

Hi all havnt posted for a while. Well to cut a long story short my passat is just been put back on the road at a cost of 450 ish. I had noticed a bit of a vibration under hard acceleration. Both shafts were ruined so I put it down to that. New ones in no change. So then I thought it was bad balancin...

Well my passat is now back on the road iam 450 notes lighter lol. Its been to powerflow and now has a stealth pipe from the catback ive also removed the guts from the cat sounds awesome. 2 driveshafts Passanger door Brake hoses Oil level sensor Full service New interior vents Various bulbs and other...

funny you should say that the lad I bought it off said it was originally off a Honda civic turbo. Tbh I think its rather large but the lad I bought it of had it wedged in the front of a corsa b 1.7td so it has to fit in the front of a passsat

Hello everyone, Well its been a while since ive posted i now have my passat off the road for the dreaded uk winter :hyst :hyst Anyway so now the adding of shiney bits can begin been and bought my first shiney goody last night. http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p734/lukev6tdi/20131123_095717_zps658...

Well I need dpf off and a new air filter too tbh. My AFN with tuning box went like stink and sounded very good. My AVF 5.5 pd130 sport (standard) also went well and sounded healthy enough when driven purposefully. My b6 BMR is lacking... Laggy coz of dpf and runs different from 1 day to the next co...

Its just dumping the turbo pressure through the filter hence the dump valve noise and it sounds good under load. Ahh wondered this for a while... Surprised me, thought there should be enough spin at off-throttle to still keep the inlet pressurised with a little boost... Dpf needs to come off :-) It...

The video you asked for smithy i tried to get a vid while driving to much wind noise though. http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p734/lukev6tdi/th_20130801_161232_zpsfd8a97a4.jpg What exactly is the noise you can hear? Is that just from changing the filter? To be honest I think it's a hit or miss k...

Well i remember hearing a mates pd 130 passat a while ago With a hairy filter on and i had one lying around, So i thought i would bang it on and see what it sounded like. http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p734/lukev6tdi/20130801_125332_zps18c5b2a5.jpg Sounds sweeeeeeeeet Even the original covers g...

well there is my passat then me little van (daily and moneymaker) http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p734/lukev6tdi/20130801_130930_zps2b034e8f.jpg then the cdti insignia (soon to be repalced with the astra sports tourer sri thingy) http://i1348.photobucket.com/albums/p734/lukev6tdi/20130801_130912...

Mine has a dodgy sensor thats why my brake warning light is still on. Brand new discs and pads all round I will sort it when the light gets annoying lol.

Picked up a set of wheels for my Rally car yesterday from a motorsport company down south. I wont say where as the collection of cars there is worth millions. The lad had 2 sheds full rally cars all for sale if you have the right money. These are some of the examples 1. Ari Vatanen Black Beauty FEK...
