I am afraid I do not agree with that. If you are genuinely hurt, fine, but submitting claims for injury just to get some money out of the incident just causes all of our insurance rates to rise, and it's a practise that in my opinion that should not be encouraged. Rant over, but this compensation cu...

Ahha, the reason for asking poshmalc is now I know who to come and see if I want to do this

What I like about these lights is the way they match the line between the wing and bonnet and the way they accentuate the line from the bottom of the lights along the bottom of the grill.

Looks like a huge U from the front.

poshmalc slightly of topic but do you live in Bath?

Thanks jake, that was dumb of me missed that !!

Where did you get the debadged grill from as a matter of interest?

Very nice. Oh to have the ability and time to do that!!

What do you do with your spare time now, start on another one !!

As a matter of interest if you do not want to remove the front wing repeaters will this work with both the wing repeaters and the door mirror repeaters in ?

When you come to fit those mirrors I am sure a lot of people would like a blow by blow picture story of removal and fitting, becuase I must admit it is something I was thinking of doing!!

Or you can order this one online.

Thanks Gaz found it !!

Silly question, but as you look at the back of an estate (B5.5 just in case there is a difference) is the pipe that supplies the washer fluid to the washer on the rear windscreen on the left or the right? I assume (assume makes an ass of u and me!!) that it is the left as the washer bottle is on tha...

I agree with Gary, not my cup of tea either.

I suppose the upside is you do not have to polish it !!

Thanks joshwa. Would be great to see some photos and I am willing to wait. Don't suppose you have some before and after type ones?

Just wondered if anyone who bought the Dr Colorchip kits in the Group Buy had used their's yet and whether or not it lived up to the claims on the web site.

I am thinking of buying one to get rid of my stone chips etc., but is it all just hype?

Jk* you have a PM

Hmmm, I got the rubber seals with my oil filter but no sump plug washer.

Thanks for the answers, think I will try a change without the washer and see what happens.

If you are doing an oil change should you always replace the sump plug washer?

Engine is a 1.9 TDi 130 AVF?

CHR15B, if you follow the link on post no 4 on page 1 this gives access to page where there are details of all the water leaks you can get not just the plenum drains. This link is still OK but to make it easy I will repeat it:

I had to take my glove box out to install a Satnav and removed the light. Unfortunately when I was refitting it the two halves came apart. I cannot figure out how the spring fitted in order to spring load the on/off switch. Does anyone have a photogragh or diagram so can re-assembly it, as it is not...

Yes mine as well.

When you are driving and the temperature drops below 4C it goes "bong" and flashes. If you start up and the temperature is already below 4.0C (it was -1.5C on the Mendips yesterday !!) it just flashes at you!!

Welcome.
VAG stands for Volkswagen Audi Group.
B4,B5/B5.5,B6 are various versions of the Passat sold over the last n years. As yours is a 2007 model then yours is a B6.
Mine is a 2003 1.9 TDI 130 Sport and is a B5.5 which was an upgrade of the previous B5 model from about 2001 onwards.

Thanks Angelo, yes I am talking about the catch mechanism, so it looks like it is another new switch !!
