Re: Snow Foam Cannon

It was an eBay purchase, I've linked the exact ones above, I unfortunately bought the Cannon a good two months ago now, so this was it's first outing since then :sad: can't really be bothered with chasing the seller now. I may bite the bullet and strip it down, it can only be something simple, it's ...

Re: Snow Foam Cannon

I have the same one and mines great. Covers the car. Have you regulated it with the black button on the top. Turn it one way to regulate how much foam comes out. As a rule I pour 25ml of snow foam into the container the rest is water. I was playing with all the controls for a good 5-10mins, varied ...

Re: passat 5.5estate 'dirty diesel'

Rear lights are off now... They were scotched up and painted with red-tinted lacquer, but one was heavily condensated up, so binned them off.

Re: Brake Pedal Refurb Kit? Parts required?

No, no, not the foot rest rubber (pedal) the actual mechanism, bushes, pivots on the arm etc, after 150k mine has gone slack and the slightest weight is causing my brakes to be ever so slightly on - all the time. It's currently cable tied as a temp fix....

Any one know if there is a brake pedal refurb kit available from TPS? or will it be a case of the whole assembly?

Re: ABS Pump & ECU Failure - Symptoms?

Thought I'd re-visit this topic, not had much love for the car of late, and have been living with the symptoms for a while now, until this week, when a 15mile 40min journey saw me free wheel down a hill with no need to brake and an mpg on the dash of 27.... Finally got a well earned earhole of my me...

Re: ABS Pump & ECU Failure - Symptoms?

Yeah, I cleaned the plenums out probably six months or so ago at the same time as the master cyclinder was done, (I'd done the job before, when I first got the car 4/5 years ago - but I suppose neglect & ignorance got the better of me) so do we reckon the servo could be rotten at the bottom? (So...

Re: Tris's wagon.

Like your short plate on the rear...

I was running a short german pressed plate on there rear of mine for years up until the Olymics this year, got a tug for it and changed back to full size pressed ones, couldnt find anywhere that did the short pressed plates.

Keep up the hard work :esm
