Re: Polished (chrome?) Roofbars

I achieved that look by having mine 'chrome' painted. Didn't cost much and has obvious benefits in terms of maintaining them! They aren't mirror finish, but very shiny silver, just like the brushed Audi ones really! I might consider selling them actually, as I have the black ones back on now. Might...

Re: b4 front mount help

I have a saab 95 intercooler to go in, it's exactly the same size as the radiator and is only 30mm thick so should be ideal, i'd recommend it as the size is ideal, haven't got it in yet though :roll:

Re: engine with no code, need to find out the code

Hi there, My b4 is an early tdi with a 1z unit (had a golf mk3 which was also a 1z tdi) so that would be a safe bet, are you planning on replacing the engine? As the tdi in passat b4/golf mk3 should be ok as all the enines are almost identical (bar thinkgslike oil sprayers onto the pistens etc but m...

Re: BMW E30 BBS - fit ok? new spiggot needed?

Hi there, by the look of it you will need spigot rings to bring the bmw wheels 72.6 to the passats 57.6 which should be easy enough, the ET is the same as standard so Theres bit of room for spacers too, depends on the width though as with no spacers they may foul the suspension. Cheers andy

Re: lowered but still practical? coilover or springs?

I would say coilovers, The outlay isn't much more than Springs/Shocks and as said above always fiddle with the height. I have TATechnics Coilovers which aren't too bad which would about £200. Handling is pretty good too :wink:

Re: b3 + 15x9's

9's do work, I have 9's et15 all round on a B4 and the front is a it pokey but not to bad. 16x9 looks great although in the ideal world I reckon 8's/7.5's on the front would be perfect Piccy showing backs (i know b4 :roll: ) http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c332/andy_cull/Image212.jpg http://i30.ph...

Re: strange air rushing sound

mmm, Tricky one as it seams to drive ok. Maybe worth getting the fault codes checked - I had a spilt in the small pipe going to the ECU and this brought up a code (Boost not matching what the ECU asked - 00575 using vag com) Hopefully it's just a loose pipe or something nice and easy to fix ;)
