I've since watched it do it, sometimes straight after locking, sometimes one hour later. I've pulled up the passenger carpet and the ccm has had water around it, bu...

Re: Passat estate sport 4motion 6 speed - do i buy it?

Only sold our tdi 4motion b5.5 as the cam wore out at 240k miles (I'd always used the proper PD oil) otherwise a great car for 70k miles! Now have a B8 3.0tdi quattro A4 manual avant - to be honest it was only £3.5k and is soooooo much nicer, the difference is massive. I'd recommend it to anyone. Ou...

So could I swap the lock mechanism and wiring over from the B5 to B5.5 tailgate? Are all mounting points the same? That would be ideal

Re: How easy is B5-B5.5 tailgate swap?

Old thread I know but has anyone done this?
My B5 estate was reversed into, and it looks to be much easier to source a B5.5 estate tailgate if it fits and wires up ok? It's need spraying anyway as B5 fjord blue tailgates without rust are like hens teeth!

Re: Which oil for my 110 afn TDI?

Hi All

Old thread I know...

But can I use the PD longlife III oil in my AFN?

It's just I also have an Audi A4 B8 3.0tdi and it takes the longlife III, so stocking just one spec of oil would be easier!

More expensive of course, but 20ltr is still only £77 :)

Thanks
