I've done mine. Nothing difficult really. Just take your time. Use a correct wires size and you will be OK :)

Is it worth it ?

Im going to sell my passat soon. 1.9 tdi around 200bhp with 163k miles on clock. Is it worth to take it back to standard (stage2 atm) or just sell it as it is? Probably not many people will be interested in modified Passat, but I can't be ask to fit standard parts back on. What you think :wink:

Re: Knocking coming from the front, not an obvious fault, HE

Check your car battery fitting - my mate had same problem and battery was moving slightly. Another thing to check is dashboard. I spend some time and money to check and swap suspension. Only to find out that was dashboard. It's another bad vw design. Try to push it towards windscreen and you may hea...

Faulty bonnet switch. Disconnect your battery for few minutes. That will sort it.
