Sorry to say guys, I'm leaving this great club of good people. I have sold my passat b6 estate and I've purchased a mercedes 300 TE 24 estate. Got it at a good price with very low mileage just over 77k miles. So I've joined a mercedes group, but thanx for all your help. The 2.0 TDI is out, and now w...

Hi the elecrtics on my driver seat has stopped working, where is the relay located because it's annoying? The front passenger electrics are fine. Thanx Zippy.

Not sure of the exact size but T-45 comes to mind. Bought a set with both in there - Torx 6 point and Spline 12 point as there are plenty of both types on the car. If you have airbags in the seats make sure you disconnect the battery first and ground yourself to the body of the car before removing ...

I remember getting my rear lower inner bushes changed before my MOT. I didn't change the arms, but the bushes. You have to change the inner bush bolt, you have to use a genuine vw bolt and washer, because the one which was already bolted on the car stretch over time. As my brother is a mechanic, he ...

Hi, I want to take my front both seats out, as I want to clean under the seats properly as it's hard to reach places.

What size torx tool I need or any other tool.

Any tips, thanx guys.

hey guys, update! i managed to take off the noisy electronic parking brake motor, which was behind the driver side. what is interesting, the internals of the example shown in how to repair the motor, this parking brake by TRW has a small gear box, which i stripped off, cleaned and greased up. the mo...

Managed only to take off the 2 caliper bolts, where the noise was coming from which is the rear driver side wheel. There is a t45 torex to be turned at 360 degrees to release the brake pads, but I cannot find it. Any pictures. Then I can try pull the caliper off, turn it around and take off the moto...

Thank you for the email, a big help. Because of todays weather of being rain, I only managed to take off the caliper 2 bolts, so later I can release the caliper, and turn it around to undo the t30 torex bolts. Now the caliper is tough to take off, any suggestions, but in the document it mentions a t...

Has anyone got the word document of the electronic parking brake diy fix yourself instructions, im desperate. I have pm one of the members on here, I need to fix my car before I go back to work. Thanx Zahid

Hi, I'm sorry we couldn't help out with your insurance. Unfortunately we can't always be competitive. Only wish we could. Thanks for giving us a try though. Regards, Dan. thanx dan, but i still do not understand how you guys can justify that i have been quoted over £1800, on a totally standard car,...

Gym supplements ?

I wanted to get my BCAAs pre-mixed drink which has been in the fridge all day, and my protein shake to go for an evening gym session.

Finished work not long ago, driven home, parked the car up as I needed to get my gym supplements, pressed my electronic hand brake, then all of a sudden message appears on lcd display saying parking break failed. \m/ The button and dash display was flashing yellow colour. So when I pushed the button...

imran, how many NCB have you earned and your age please?

i just dont understand how these insurance companies work, you would expect it cheaper as standard, but modified is totally different! there are some insurance companies only care what you do to the engine in performance, cosmetics like alloys, lowering, body kits etc is ok. i know there are certain...

£255

how many NCB have you earned, what area you from and age, thats brilliant!

i paid £715 last year for my b6 passat estate standard with no mods, and this year it was quoted higher. check out the best quote from Adrian Flux found on this forum - £1,892.86. :shock: that is a total joke! i have a standard 140 bhp passat b6 estate, i live in Birmingham, standard vw alarm &...

my driver seat heater has stopped working, but the front passenger side all works. can someone take a picture to locate the fuse, i do miss he heated seats, when its -2c outside.

i got my tandem vacuum pump gasket changed. i ordered a original vw gasket from TPS Birmingham, and like the previous reply said, it was straight forward as i watched the mechanic who do it. i used to get the same problem, smelling diesel fuel and seeing alot of smoke from top of headlamp. if you re...

hello guys, i have now changed my turbo at 177,393 miles, with new oil, oil filter and new oil feed. thank god it started, but have not driven it yet, just letting the car get to temperature. oil pipe and turbo exhaust aluminium clip from Birmingham TPS cost me at trade price only at £66.43 plus £...

my brother has taken the turbocharger off today. as it is a bank holiday, TPS parts is closed today, so i need to buy a oil return feed. spoke to precision turbos today, and i shall pick up another turbo off him already balanced, new parts with certificate. happy days. so hopefully tomorrow car is b...

you can by a new seal for the tandem pump, thats what i did, it much cheaper than buying a brand new one. check also the cambelt teeth, you could be out by 1 or 2 teeth.

hey guys, it has been a while that i responed on this forum. where do i start, i have now a whining turbocharger on my passat 2.0 tdi. 1st of all, i thought i had a good deal, with a used turbocharger that has done 13k miles, but because the seller on ebay wanted me to do a transaction via paypal bu...

have you checked if there is any leaks on top of your gearbox. i have forgotten what it was called, but i had to change the seal on that, im sure it was the fuel vacuum box thing. it is bolted on the side of the engine. if you remove the airbox and the induction pipes, it is located on the side. thi...

i purchased my first passat b6 2.0 tdi 140ps bkp engine code, and i did purchase it with problems tbh. i spent £250 on complete service kit with full cambelt to get it sorted. i also cleaned out the egr valve, it was like chocolate fudge but black. more recent is that i have used wynns turbo spray ...
