Re: rumbling noise from my b6 4motion estate any ideas ??
Tyre wear is very even on the back tyres and the prop was off the car to check it so I'm imagining that their findings are correct about the center bearing being on its way out ! The noise feels like it comes from near the back of the car and vibrates all through it and you feel it coming through ...

b6 tdi 4motion estate rumbling noise in 5th and 6th ??
As per title im getting a deep rumbling noise from what seems to be the back end of my b6 just wondered if anyone had any similar issues with their cars ? Its only if im in higher gears and i put my foot down however if i drop down and change upto 5th or 6th above 70 then its much less of a noise !!

Re: Traction control on my 4 motion 5.5
Thanks for all the feedback on the traction control question ! I personally think my car doesn't need it I've only ever managed to get the car sideways in the snow and on a very wet oily junction but only cause I was pushing it ! The level of grip my car has is unbeleviable and I'm always amazed by ...

Re: Hi all new Passat owner here !
Budget is a bit of a sore point don't really want to spend more than £400 ! Spent all day today polishing my Passat and what a difference I don't think the guy that owned it before me knew what polish was ! New rims came up a treat and the polished chrome lip on them looks good !

Hi all new Passat owner here !
I just bought a 2001 plate v6 4 motion saloon so far I've only changed the standard alloys for a set of 5 spoke chrome rimmed dished dark grey wheels but it now looks like a 4x4 any suggestions on where to get a decent set of cheap coilovers for this model ?
