Re: Leaking windscreen!!!
It's an estate with a rear mounted aerial. No sunroof.
The issue has been found. The glue/sealant around the screen has come unstuck.... (Screen out by body shop - small amount of surface rust taken care of (it's had a screen before)

Leaking windscreen!!!
Just back from a family holiday in the Passat.... But I keep finding wet patches at the top of the A-pillar trim.
I have no sunroof & the rest of the car is dry.... I'm pretty certain it's the windscreen that's leaking. Anyone else had this issue??

Re: 2006 B6 Estate - 3.2 V6 DSG 4motion SEL - time for an update
The car has now been consigned to being the 2nd car / family transport only. (Daily driver is now a Polo 9n TDi Sport) So I got stuck in refitting the front DRL's - gave it a wash and polish. And a great B-road blast or 2. Time for a service soon (oil change and brakes are a little spongy) Since res...

Re: Ok - so the beast refused to start today.....
I checked absolutely everything on the car - also checked for a parasitic drain. but nothing was found.
new battery tomorrow - Found one the right size with a 5 year warranty with more power (100ah / 900cca) for under £100. Should be fine!

Re: Ok - so the beast refused to start today.....
It's a 3.2 V6 4motion... It's still got the 2006 stamp in the battery terminals & the battery is date stamped 10/2005. So I think it's the original battery. It's a Vatra 4F0 915105E unit. Looked through the service history - no battery replacement in the receipts or service book. The battery goe...

Ok - so the beast refused to start today.....
I've been using the mk2 this last few weeks, only going back to the Passat maybe once a week. Went to it on Friday morning, normally when I unlock it the headlights come one, but it failed to do this. Tried to start it, very slow turning of the starter - but eventually it kicked into life. On the da...

I've got some similar on my car built by Jaraz. Was just easier to follow the instructions & tap the headlight feed. You only need to do that if you want to dim your Drl's when the headlights are on

They are the whole exhaust - retained the factory CAT's then from there straight back to the rear boxes - quite throaty under acceleration. but mute at 70! I wasnt sure about the wrap. But i'm happy to give most things a go by myself. I was thinking about Porsche Sapphire Blue with black detailing (...

Ok so the car has sat for a few weeks while I enjoyed the last bit of good weather in my MK2 golf.... While it was at on the driveway I got stuck in with the rear lamps built by Jaraz.... Inner rears with twin rings using twin reverse units. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b58/mrdubstyle/image_zps...

Re: Newbie B6 3.2 4 motion help
Bought one about 14 months ago - love it. But it's thirsty, road tax is £500+ per year. Mine has been ok, but it's got more rust than I would expect from a 10 year old VW! Tailgate, inner rear arches, boot floor, front wings.... Plus if the Haldex or the DSG goes bye bye - the repair costs can basi...
