Had a show coming up so decided to get the air ride done in time. Made sense, the roads are terrible around the city + my driveway is a nightmare so is getting in the garage. I was going through sump drain plugs on the weekly.. A few pics of how she sat for the show on merc caps + new lip. Salad sho...

Few from the show today. A few late night / early mornings getting this thing ready. http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m619/brookfromhamilton/ArroHome-Brookjames-1_zpsfa9431d5.jpg http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m619/brookfromhamilton/ArroHome-Brookjames-1-3_zps9d12adb3.jpg http://i1134.photob...

Back to OEM grill and headlights. http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m619/brookfromhamilton/IMG_6276_zps0cbb1e40.jpg Also purchased a set of 15x8 banded mk4 steelies. http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m619/brookfromhamilton/IMG_6175_zps5e606977.jpg http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m619/brookfr...

Since selling my mk3 GTI abf back in New Zealand I always said I want to own a VR6 next.. This didn't happen and I went and brought a b3 wagon.. and then a Polo 6n. When I spotted this on eBay a month or so a go I could not pass it up. 96' Manual b4 Passat VR6 with 150XXX kms on the clock. She looke...

Yeah have replaced the temp sensor with a new one recently. Have also checked all plugs etc..

If I wiggle the TPS wire the one that comes out of the little black box and goes into the orange connector, it sends it into a high RPM... then drops back down

Cheers, the first video is it from cold, so I never Rev it that hard normally. Once warmed up there is no spluttering.

Yeah I think either TPS or ISV, i'll order a new ISV... almost got it all sorted just need it to drop to normal idle smoothly without doing it in stages.

This is really doing my head in, been trying to sort this car for 6 months now. Can't figure it out for the life of me, finally got it to idle lower and smooth. But now for some reason when it warms up the engine won't drop to idle smoothly, it sort of lowers then pauses then lowers then pauses unti...

Na no change when unplugging the col start valve.. yeah it's a K-Jet. The fuel pressure reg is the one to the right on the metering head yeah? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tue3yYxXvU There is this now also.. ^ when blocking the vacuum hose off it seems to idle a lot nicer. Can I bypass the oil b...

this is the idle when warm, not sure how many rpm, like I said, no gauge

~x( Need some help. Doing my head in and can't figure it out for the life of me. See video for what is happening. This is starting if cold, left over night and trying around lunch time. Car fires up, then begins to do this, coughing / surging with the idle. When it is warm it goes away and runs pret...

Cheers when I did that it was still reading around 6.5V and then would go up when I pressed the throttle? Still too high..

Long story short. Trying to sort out the high idle on my b3. 16v 2.0L 9a Unplugged the TPS to test the reading from the wires. The signal wire and the other one that's not the ground wire are both reading around 11.45 ish Volts. Now why would that be? Isn't it meant to be no more than 5.0V? Doing my...

Hey guys,

Needing a new front window for my b3 to get it road worthy. Have tracked down a brand new b4 window. Round corner, will this fit? PLease say yes as to find a b3 window is near impossible here in Australia.

Sorted, was a fuse missing for some reason, above the windows fuse above the fuse box, if that makes sense. Fan goes now on all settings however not a heap of air comes out? would that be a clogged pollen filter perhaps? also doesnt really go cold cold. Warm is good though

mmm so tested it with a circuit tester, there is no power to the fan switch :/ or the fan blower itself.

Cheers, I already checked the contact and it seems to be making contact fine. So it seems.

Fuse is fine, yeah resistor could be good, do you have a spare relay also?

Hey guys, Done a heap of research on this, but cannot get the dam thing to work. Replaced the blower itself and tested it with 12v - works perfect. I have no power to my fan control switch, no settings 1,2,3,4 work. Would it be the resistor or relay? I ruled out resistor as this would only be the ca...

Wondering if a 1.6 td speedo cable will work in my 16v 2.0L b3 passat wagon?

cheers
