I removed the all the boxes on my td5 90 land rover including the cat, egr, fitted bigger inter cooler etc.. I had no problems apart from the ecu kept going into limp mode due to the speed the turbo spooled up at. i used a boost controller and a remap, other than that i had no problems with removing...

I didn't, took me weeks to work out why my tyres were going down, there only needs to be a little bit of the match stick in the cap, just enough to press the valve when it is fully tightened, you don't hear the air rushing out then.

try snapped matches super glued into valve caps, nice slow deflate overnight and no signs of tapering, will puzzle them for weeks as tyre fitters won't find the leek in dip tanks as they do it with valve caps removed. i have had this done to me along with my locks being super glued by an ex on a ver...

oh yeh, i think it has a screw on rf connector so you might have to do a little soldering

yes but i have never fitted one to a passat before, the only mod you will have to do is to run a switching cable to turn the unit on

i had one on my orion it was under the parcel shelf, on the escort it's in the tail gate, you can't miss it

had plenty of practise as we cut tyres for use on the race cars my brother and myself run, doing a set of motor bike slicks for my friend ( running a slab sided gsxr with a 1240 motor in and gas), to stay legal you have to keep the tred blocks less than 2 inches on bikes. You just have to keep on to...

yeh i know what you mean, i've got some yoko's sat at my mums i bought for my old sunny but never fitted as i cut some slicks to mimick road tyres, They were fantastic, i can't believe i got stopped twice with them on (having a paddle clutch doesn't impress the police when you have them infront of y...

ah right i see now

i'm just wondering which two bolts your friend removed to help the handeling out

did you block the pipe off that connects to the top of the airbox at the back opposite where the maff fits?

when i bought my 130 tdi it had no airfilter in it so i put a sock over the trumpet in the airbox just to get it home to my tools (new airfilter was supplied with car) it did have a bit better throttle responce than the standard filter, you are not going into limp mode are you? or is it putting up t...

there is a bit more technology involed in airfilters than a bath sponge lol. try running it with a pair of tights ove your maf to see what it would be like, i would go for a coam tho

matt black cars rule !! seen a rolls royce on the M6 up preston way matt black with shaddow chrome wheels a few weeks ago.

how many miles has your car done? do you know if it's been used a lot around town as this puts a lot more strain stopping and starting

it's not your clutch is it, dual mass clutches can feel like that when they go, mines just starting

I got mine from a main dealers, they had got rid of one of their sales guys to save money and it was his company car, it had stood for a year at the dealers. I've driven other tdi 130's but this one does seem to have more guts, although blocked drains and a knackered ccm have dulled the experience, ...

hi mate, i've used mechano before or 15mm wide ali strip bent and bolted to the inner wing using the original bolt hole at the top

i got my '06 55 plate for 3.5k with full service wiht less than 100k on clock

hi mate there is a how to section on here, you need to remove a panel in the footwell and the side trim my door sill then lift the carpet

yeh mate, my bro's all right, he's in to his cars in a big wayand a perfectionist, he did a spray job on a set of xr3i wheel trims for me years ago, they looked mad, it was sort of pearl but flipped too, don't know how the *no swearing* he did it but they got attention for trims lol, he did them whi...

lol just take it easy on the connections as if the water has corroded too bad they may snap and uck the job up completely

Hi mate, just to say, mines the same colour as your car and i live in stoke lol. it is a strange colour and i haven't seen too many the same around here. i had a saab 900 turbo se on a '97 which had a similar paint but it seemed to flip a little more than the passats paint, i thinki might have to ha...

hi mate, the green powedery stuff if corosion if you clean it off ( i usually use wet and dry paper or a screw driver) you may find it will work again, it is caused by water being in contact with the components for a period of time

thanks artscot79, for the fault codes, can anyone tell me what the frigg CAN-Bus is?
