Hi

sorry it's a petrol 1.8T AEB engine.

Hi all

Had the car remapped about a month ago and I don't thing the clutch is handling the extra power to well. Sometimes

on hard acceleration the car just sits there and then the smell of clutch burning, so what is the best clutch upgrade

kit to use? Any suggestions please.

Cheers Andy.

cheers for the reply I'll do a search thanks.

Hi
just a quick question do the rear tail lights on a b5.5 estate fit on a B5 estate?

cheers Andy.

Hi, Been reading your thread, you don't need spring compressors if you remove the front lower suspension arm inner bolt to sub frame with a jack under the arm slowly lower the arm releasing the presure of the spring, then release the bottom shock bolt and then the top 2 13mm nuts and pull the shock ...

Hi, can any body give me Simon from upsolute phone number please I need to get my B5 remapped.

Andy,

Hi, I have a splitter R dv set at 50/50 atmos & recirc on my 1.8t & it makes a noise. Have you got the spring setting set too strong you are only running 5/6psi standard and when remapped it will be around 15psi & a lot louder.

Andy,

Thanks for all the help Ross Dv fitted and working well it's a bit louder than I expected on standed boost should sound well when remapped. Would of been fitted a lot sooner if I wouldn't have been looking at the wrong valve. My excuse is it's my 1st turbo motor and i'm sticking to it. Thanks Andy.

I've just had a look at how to fit the split R dv, can any body tell me how the dv on the aeb engine works I thought the dv had to be between the turbo and the throttle body, where does the aeb dv divert air from I have traced the pipe back to the inlet manifold but I thought every think connected t...

Thanks for the info, I've order a forge splitter R dv when i fit it i'll let you know how i get on.

Andy

Thank Ross

Sounds like a nono then, what about the cold side valve i've read that it doesn't affect the MAF sensor, when I sort this out i'm putting an induction kit on then i'm having it remapped.

Andy.

I'm wanting to put a atmospheric dump valve on my b5 1.8t aeb to replace the diverter valve, firstly can it be done. If not can a dump valve be put on the cold side between the throttle body and intercooler any suggestions or info please.

I've just done my nsf bearing I used a friends press it took about 1hr. But if you haven't got the use of a press it's not possible, it looks like a gararge job sorry!.

Hi all I'm Andy, I'm new to the forum. I've just bought a 98 1.8t sport estate my 1st passat was a 2000 1.8 auto sport saloon. The 1.8t needed a bit of care and attention when I got it 2 weeks ago, cream leather interior was more a browny colour bit of spit and polish soon looked like new. Well I've...
