UKPassats

I've got loads of parts left over from breaking my estate and I've put a thread in the vehicles breaking section.

It covers a few of the different categories (interior/exterior etc) so I thought i'd put a link in here so it doesn't get missed - hope that's ok :)

I had 16" steels off a new beetle on my b3. I put the centre caps from a T5 on, made for a smooth OEM look

I'm practically giving my B3 estate away (admittedly it needs a bit of work) but so far, no interest at all...

The reason i don't need it any longer is i work away during the week and don't need a car here.

That also limits my tinkering time (read: my wife's patience length more so :wink: ). I'll grab a few pictures and stick them up as soon as i get a chance.

The more i think about it the more i'm wanting ...

It's got to the point now where i no longer need my B3 :cry:

It was an absolute bargain when i got it, completely standard and cleaned up really well. Que the usual antics - coilies/wheels/bra/stickers and i've eeked out about 5 years of ownership that i didn't expect!!

It's now out of tax and ...

Yep, same here - bonnet cable grommet pulled out. It basically leaves a 1" diameter hole just under the windscreen run-off!

I've just fixed a similar problem. Boot/tailgate would open with the key but not the handle.

I followed this thread, took me about 30mins

I got all the parts to upgrade the wiring on my b3 from my local motor factors. You'll need a few switching relays, some thick guage wire and in-line fuse holders/fuses (I already had connectors/heat shrink etc)

All you are doing is by-passing the run of wire from the battery to the ignition then ...

Right, got the MOT coming up and was cleaning everything up and fitting new plugs/filters and such, making sure the emissions won't be an issue.

As i took the air intake elbow off the airbox to fit the filter i noticed a bit of movement at the injection unit end. I removed the three bolts holding ...

I'd definitely be interested in a set, people are always asking if i've moved the wheels forward

...not at that price though. ;)

What's the engine and mileage?

It's the 1.8 and it's just clocked 173,000

Never missed a beat during my ownership though

I've finally got round to fitting the coilovers i've had for the last few months, and taken a decent picture, so i thought i'd say hi! (i've been shamelessly whoring this photo all morning so apologies if you've seen it elsewhere :lol: )

HI

I've had the estate for coming up to two years now ...
