Re: B4 Passat fuel tank straps

i made a set for my b4 by getting some flat steel from my local steel wholesalers, as its only about 3mm thick you can easily form it by hand and only cost £10 to make all 3 straps so worth replacing all 3

Re: My stationary vehicle hit by 3rd party

Claim the money through insurance and put it in your pocket, if they bother to write it off it will only be a cat d,you won't get a 3rd party to cover that from there own pocket (unless you're really lucky)

Re: B4 vr6 hesitation any help ?

i,d agree with fonzzy, the vr6 does run hotter than normal engines so i,d be tempted to fit another brand of thermostat.

Re: B4 vr6 hesitation any help ?

For hot air through heater try changing thermostat as that cured my lack of heat problem, and I've just fitted a new cts as mine had a judder issue when cold, cts does not affect temp gauge reading as you can disconnect it and gauge will not move it's the stat that gives the gauge reading.

Re: Replacing Horn Ring B4 Passat. Help?

I'd also check for a worn insulation wire from horn push to earth, as I've got an aftermarket wheel and horn and that sometimes makes a contact to earth without the button being pushed.
