Front or rear?
Rear is fully poly bushed. Front is partly poly bushed but the sub frame bushes are absolutely fine.
I've had to do a few engine mounts before but that's it.

Re: B5.5 TDI 4 Motion,Full Votex, coils & fat fives.
Cheers.
Yer the T4 has cost me about 400 quid so far.
Needed a new power steering rack, Full service, and a few bulbs and such.
Mainly just needs a good clean.
Pretty solid van to be fair.
Looking forward to getting it on the road.

Re: B5.5 TDI 4 Motion,Full Votex, coils & fat fives.
Yer I've been on the T4 forum for a few years now as I've been after one for a while. As for sale value. It's hard to gauge. Standard 4motion Passat's go anywhere up to 2.5k still. I think I might put it up for 2k ish and try my luck. Maybe hope the Votex will help it sell. I have basically got the ...

Re: B5.5 TDI 4 Motion,Full Votex, coils & fat fives.
So I have purchased myself a nice white T4 Caravelle in the last week. So once I have done a few minor bits to it I will be selling the Passat. So keep an eye out for her in the for sale section and eBay etc. Will be around early to mid September. She's been fun but time for her to move on to a new ...

Re: B5.5 TDI 4 Motion,Full Votex, coils & fat fives.
So I had to remove my front bumper today due to the passenger side mount being a bit loose. Easy repair, but whilst it was off I gave the intercooler a flush out and cleaned my undertray. Whilst I was waiting for it all to dry out, as I used solvents in the intercooler I decided to see how my smooth...

Re: 4motion rear bushes
I cut all mine out in situ.
Replace the rear arms with S6 ones and fitted strong flex poly bushes and new eccentric bolts and washers all round.
Took a few hours but was worth it in the end. Rear end feels nice a tight on the roads now.

Re: 4motion rear bushes
If you end up replacing the arms. I used audi s6 ones as they are alley not steel.
So they don't rot out. Otherwise vw want 80 quid aside.
I was lucky enough to find a guy breaking an S6 on ebay.

Re: 4motion rear bushes
I put a full set of poly bushes on mine. Got them from strong flex. Good price and good bushes. Not sure where the rot was found in the post above, but mine was solid underneath. I replaced all the eccentric bolts and washers at the same time and the arms for the tow adjustment as they were knackere...

Not much happening lately.
I'm looking for a rear bumper in my colour (LD7W) if I can find one then I will be selling my votex kit off.
Let me know if you have a bumper sitting around.

Re: B5.5 TDI 4 Motion,Full Votex, coils & fat fives.
Yer. I have also removed all the calipers and power bled them.
I think the abs bypass valve is playing up.
Just a case of keeping at it.

Re: B5.5 TDI 4 Motion,Full Votex, coils & fat fives.
New master cylinder has been fitted and pressure bled. Including vcds bleeding. Still i have a pedal sinkage problem. The car drives and stops fine. But the pedal drops under pressure. So after some investigation it turns out I may have an ABS unit problem. Had a few G201 sensor faults in the past. ...

Re: B5.5 TDI 4 Motion,Full Votex, coils & fat fives.
Took the master cylinder off yesterday.
Pedal has been sinking to the floor lately under constant pressure.
Got one from GSF as they have a 50% sale on at the mo.
Just need to stick it all back together and bleed her up with the pressure bleeder.

Pretty sure vw sell 2 x 21 wipers. However the passenger one is offset on the wiper arm to compensate so not to go off the screen.

Re: Bonnet in the back of a wagon??
I had a b5.5 bonnet in the boot of my b5.5 estate. Took some sheets to protect the interior from any damage or dirt.
Loads of room though. Goes in at an angle.

Re: Black Betty the euro tripper B5.5
I did mine last month.
Bumper off, inner arch off, plastic sill thing off.
Open door. And undo a load of bolts.
Took me a few hours including lining it all up and polishing after.

Re: B5.5 TDI 4 Motion,Full Votex, coils & fat fives.
So on Sunday I took a trip down to Selsey to see a guy who is breaking a W8 saloon in Urban grey (Ld7w) same as mine. So I only went for the front passenger wing as his was rust free and mine is just starting to go. But whilst I was there I noticed this little beauty sat on the roof. http://uploads....
