So it's been a while! I still have the B6 V6, it's just had a service & a few annoying thing sorted (I forgot to plug the 12v plug in the boot back in when I put the interior back together while fitting the inner rear lamps. The alarm has never worked, so new siren fitted & alarm chirp activ...

Replacement pipe found............. In Australia!

Hopefully it should arrive soon!

Yep - it's a V6..... Taking care of all the small annoying things before the winter

VW has it on back order - only other ones are for sale in the US (they want silly money for postage)

Anyone got any other suggestions............

3C0121070AC is the part number

So my B6 V6 has just gone in for its 118k service, inspection & mot.... Oil, filter changed, brakes checked, brake fluid renewed.... But while it was up on the ramps - a damp section under the gearbox was noted. Right on the front face of the DSG sump/plate. It's gone porous & letting dsg fl...

Angel Tuning in Glasgow has sorted all my Diesel VW's for the last 10 years... Ask for Paul - 07957286090

Just tell him Andy from Crieff gave you his number!

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)

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??

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...

This is the one I bought...

Useful information there!! There are new ones on eBay for £22 - I did mine recently & didn't have that guide

New battery fitted - £95 lighter, but the car is back up & running.

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!

went and checked the voltage lastnight around 7pm - voltage has dropped to 11.76v - checked it this morning after a -6 night. its down to 9.43V.... battery is Goosed! Looked online for a CCA and dimension that match. Got a Yuasa 100Ah 900cca battery sorted out for £90.... Pick it up later! (Halfords...

L353 x W175 x H190. 92ah with minimum 850cca....

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...

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

I want to try an keep it blue....

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...

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...
