UKPassats

I heard you can bypass and remap. ?

star, ta.

I am thinking of returning to ownership of another Passat and need to know if there is an easy way of knowing if one has a DPF. would it be on the logbook? Also, if I see cars listed on Autotrader will it automatically show in the title if its DPF? I asked the trader of one I want to view and he did...

But how much is it??

Very Very true

ha ha! Always ready to think about other cars. Had a stainless exhaust fitted to the A4 yesterday at a place where they all know Pete well. Seems a shame with all the effort he put into it that its sat doing zilch........

whats he driving now?

How come its sat in his garden? busted or surplus? Hope he's Ok............

what is the cost of a new DPF, life expectancy and maintenance costs?

Only thing was is that he said he has never had an issue with them and has had car from new. So I assume he never had them replaced at any stage. 2007 model.

I have spotted a 2007 2.0 170 sport that I searched for in this colourway years ago but never found one that ticked all the other boxes as well. But now I have and i am seriously tempted. Have spoken to the owner who is the only owner from new. He said it has never had n issue with the injectors or ...

I wish i hadnt sold it either !!! Oh well eh

How come it kept changing hands?? Did it end up with issues or something?

I am wondering what has happenned to my pride and joy I sold to Eazie e over a year ago now. Reg R474 BOC, Fjord blue 1.8 20v T saloon . I know Ian sold it and I think it possibly went to another UKP member? Just wondering how its doing etc etc. weird but i still that car!!! :oops: any pics , update...

Ian, Hadnt checked back for a while but you getting this looking rockin dude. If I am honest I am not really into carbon fibre looks, but you know what, i like yours, dont know what it is, but nice work dude. What colour you getting the holstens done? Finally got mine changed from Black to this, and...

what widths are they, did 18's come in 8'' wide only or other options??

Hey you got some !! Holstens looking very good. As is the car as a whole, nice work.

I have the OZ male 10 point bolt removal tool for rent, ready to split those OZ rims. I am located in Farnham ,Surrey. Its £20 rental plus a deposit of £30 which is of course fully refundable on return of undamaged tool. Please contact me on: iamthecrazypainter@yahoo.co.uk

its a no-brainer HOLSTENS!! I may have mine for sale soon but I have been running them a while. A great rim, and hard to get hold of.........
KEEPERS!

Wanted to see how an idea i had may look before I decide to go ahead with it. So I masked a wheel up tonight and grabbed the remnants of some grey I had floating about and stunk out the spare room with a very rapid rattlecan job! Almost certainly these wheels are gonna be monochrome so colours betwe...

What I am doing is waiting till these are painted, on, and i'm happy before i put the Holstens up for sale as I know the chance of me ever getting another set are extremely slim if i sell them, so want to be quite sure ! I am very happy with these new rims, I think when they are freshly painted with...

All tyres removed yesterday. Just need top finalise my ideas on colours then they are off to The Wheel Doctor. I have heard very good things about Lloyd's work. Rang him yesterday and I am more than happy to leave him to split the rims, acid dip, vapourise, paint and re-assemble the wheels. Had ten ...
