Yeah no probs mate drop me your number in a pm and I'll give you a call when I'm free. Do a lot of overnight stays and driving for work so very rarely am stopped still to talk lol. Hence it being better me calling you.

That's my old car. I did all the work to that.

How's she going these days?

id rather make my own than spend £70 + on that kit. would be easy enough.

you can buy brand new kits off ebay for £155 delivered. why would anyone pay £150 for used coilovers with bits missing lol.

well i have a lot of family who own different cars, and working in the motor trade i have owned, driven and abused lots of different ones.

the 3 main reccomendations for me would be:

1- BMW
2- any VAG
3- Ford

is that the wiring for the vw one on the car or the merc one?

looks like the merc one being a DAIMLER info sheet.

if it is the merc one im even more confused as it has 5 wires like the one on my passat.

anyone else have any info on this?

the one for sale has the wiring plug but ive still got to chop the wiring and either not use a wire or join 2 together to make it work...

well i dont know yet as i want to know if its worth buying or not.

being as i have 5 connections to make and the merc maf wiring has 4 id say i doubt it.

managed to locate a merc maff for my 1.9 tdi afn.

problem i got is mines a 5 wire maf and the merc one is a 4 wire.

apparantly it can be done but how i dont know.

are there any how to guides or someone who can tell me what wire needs making redundant or merging or whatever.

thanks

my b5 headlamps are all over the shop, aside from them being misted up and poo anyway even with a HID conversion kit they are still poor. anyway i lined it up against a wall the other night and went to align them as the beaom looked low and pointing inwards almost cockeyed lol. only when adjusted i ...

just read the whole thread after considering one of these. little confused now firstly are the tdi tuning boxes for the afn any good? what does the adjustment screw actually adjust? im planning to run a decat, upgraded merc maf, and blocked egr valve. will the box recognise changes like this? or am ...

i want to know the answer to this too

ive got a 2 button round key non flip. but if i could have a flip id be happier.

replaced batterys and still no led flash or actuall workings going on. been told it need a new responder (top half of key)

on my second b5 tdi now and with this one i feel as if i have to put my foot further down to get more of a response from it. i assume its drive by wire. is there anyway of adjuting this? as it gives you the feeling of false economy and an aching foot on motorway runs.

is it a new clutch?

have a look at the friction plate and put a straight edge on it.

i had the same issue with my M3 and the brand new OEM clutch friction disk was bent.

ok then lol 150bhp will do. not really into spending big money on the daily all i want is a few extra ponies and some torque. and then for it to look half way tidy too.

the decat made a massive difference to my last passat. so it must give extra hp

adamms24: thats a hell of a shopping list but being as this is a daily runner and i have an M3 for fun i just want it to be as pokey as a new shape passat, 160-170bhp would suit me fine.

so if i was to get a merc maff, decat, air filter, and remap would i achieve my goal?

looking to do it on the cheap too lol

merc maf? anyone got a part number or what car it comes off?

did the flip style fob set you back much? was it an ebay job or a proper vw?

got myself another B5 Tdi 110 afn. my last one had a remap and later a decat both of which made a massive difference. this one however i want to modify to have a lil bit more power than my old one. obviously it would have been better to sort a decat then map it to get possibly a better difference pr...

interested on this one aswell. got another B5 with the round key and it dont work. had issues with the remote on my last b5 which turned out to be the key.

what is the key sync you talk about?

would plugging it into a vag com tell you the fault straightaway?

this chap im buying the car off seems to keep changing his mind. first he said the n75 valve now he's saying air flow meter. anyone know if the afm and the n75 valve is interchangeable from passat to the toldeo? the fault the car is having is that its down on power. he described it as feeling like l...

any one ever heard of an n75 valve? and what it does?

looking to buy a seat toledo with the 110tdi AFN engine with an n75 fault but i have my passat with the same engine code sat here with a perfect working one i could swap temporarily to get the car home.

filled up tonight and went to shut the flap and it wont lock!

dont know if its the cold or what but it springs back out.

the solenoid is clicking and working back and for as far as i can hear.
