Re: Got bored of the A6

Very nice, I looked at a couple of the A8 4.2s but in the end they were slightly too big for my drive!

Got an A6 instead ;)

Anyway Ive now got a Audi A6 and I want to know if the Passat ever came with heated washer jets? Reason being, I have heated jets but want the Passat nozzles...

Re: Bye Passat

Yes, I had a Leon Cupra, nice car but lifeless to drive. The EVO 5 and upwards probably had a better chassis but you cant beat the flat 4 growl ;) Oh, I enquired about insurance for an Evo 5.... almost twice as much as the scoob. The scoob already comes with coilovers, exhaust, sports cat, my01 whee...

Re: Bye Passat

Dont get me wrong I liked the old girl and would probably have swapped her for a w8 or v6. But a diesel, even remapped was just sooo slowwww. Bought the scoob for a bit of weekend fun.

Bye Passat

Well 6 months and a good few quid spent it was time to say ta ta to my 'sat. It was just too slow for my needs. So I went out and bought this with the spare change from selling her. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v355/foxygti6/scooby/IMG_1878.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v355/foxygti6/sc...

Awful.
He will struggle to shift them at that price on ebay I would think. E38 might be the place to go to move those.

Re: Anybody know which fuse to take out for the airbag light?

I can turn the airbag light off quite easily by turning off faulty/missing airbags. At least this way the rest of the system will work in the event of a crash.

Re: Power Loss - TDI PD115, Engine code ATJ

Your S3 has 2 side mounts, one each side. I would imagine it would fit, they are not the same part but very similar dimension wise. You may need reducers but the left hand one should fit.
You could try fitting both, I would imagine theres plenty of room....

Re: Power Loss - TDI PD115, Engine code ATJ

Sounds like you have ruptured your intercooler. Either that or youve popped/split a hose. The bottom hose runs along the front panel at the bottom from the turbo to the intercooler. pain in the ass to get to because of the aircon pipes. It is solid so its unlikey to rupture. Its more likely to be on...
