ahhh ! okay mate

just ordered one from VW now anyway

@adam

if you fancy selling that W8 estate rear valance, I'm not that far from Lincoln and will gladly have it off you

sorry for bumping an old thread

but i was wondering, does the sedan B5.5 W8 rear valance fit the estate ?

3B5807434 - sedan
3B5807434B - estate

if not do people just cut the normal valance for the W8 style tail pipes

WHT002791 - OE number

literally have no idea what its for though

VW list it as a "ball pin"

sound ive given him your number so hopefully he'll be in touch over the next couple of days

ive bought a carbon mods skinning kit that's arrived today so im going to try and persuade him to be my guinea pig

ahhh !

looks like i've missed out on something here !
explain whats happened

bump stops still haven't been cut as my mates being lazy and wont come round to my house

on the look out for a leather interior for him at the moment
and some fairly cheap 10 and 15mm spacers

Nice motors. Need to swap the rear wheels around though to get them looking right. tell me about it ! as soon as i took a photo that was the first thing i noticed ! they'll get swapped round at the weekend another job for the weekend is cutting the bumpstops down as its riding on them a bit i think

ill not clutter this thread with pictures of my car, but here's the car (which i converted by myself on my dads driveway) http://i875.photobucket.com/albums/ab314/josh16v/5AD89BC2-0C19-4CC4-84F2-46B7263EF57B-16899-000003C21AE05D49_zpscc4d612e.jpg and here's it heart :D http://i875.photobucket.com/al...

Hi all first of all, this isn't my car, its a friends, but Ive put so many hours into it, I'm kind of attached too. i'm his go-to for everything car related haha it started off with him driving a bog standard 1.4 mk4 golf, which was all well and good, until he came out in my car, a 20vt 6n polo... t...

thats for a genuine copy with the hardlocks anyway

ETKA states that all the OE numbers you've mentioned are the most current numbers

you tried getting in touch with bilstein directly ?

i know Euro car parts used to be the go to guys for bilstein but i don't think they have the ability to purchase from them anymore

another good one for BMW is

and the best link i've ever found for VAG stuff, not so much an OE lookup but just for loads of general info on all makes/models is

i only joined this forum to help out an un mechanically minded mate haha, he loves modified cars and 'modifying' cars but he just doesnt do it himself hahaha i'm his go to guy :D so i dont even own a passat myself my actual cars are a dog poo 1998 toyota corolla 1.3 sportif with a massive 27,000 mil...

if you've got a reg ill see what ETKA has to say... regarding the engine code anyway

anyhow, i'm not on here to cause an argument, it was just an opinion

i'm new on here and the last thing i'm after is getting off to a "bad start"

so your opinion is based on you being 'matey' with the UK director ?

i personally wouldn't buy their poo febi every time :-bd what qualified diagnosis is that statement from? please enlighten us Meyle are regarded as far superior to Febi and probably the only ones that are better than Meyle are the Lemforder arms but then you pay through the nose for them so perhaps...

ill be honest, its not for my car its for a friends B5.5 estate and I'm not too clued up on how the suspension set up works on the passats tbh what would be the cheapest way to a full air-ride system on this ? i can see that the front shocks are the same as B5 a4's which might be easier to source th...

hes gonna put what into the boy? lost me there totally mate lol that front end looks nice.. mines got hundreds of tiny little stone chips on the bonnet and the bumper.. all those motorway miles.. looks like a constellation lol 2 wings and a spoiler to get painted. the front end is good its just a p...

as stated its the arms you need, there are 2 different sizes and then variations of each size depending on chassis number

any decent motor factors should be able to distinguish which ones you need

i personally wouldn't buy their poo

febi every time
