UKPassats

Well, things have become a little more complicated. The parts guy tried the mats in a 5.5 they had in the workshop, and they fitted fine; so he called me in to pick them up. In my car, they are a terrible fit. It turns out I have an asymmetric exhaust tunnel in the rear footwell... Going to have to ...

Ah I see! Awesome, thanks! Murrays parts-guy, watch out!

I was wanting to have a little browse through all the steelies that were ever OE on b5/5.5s with a view to future banding. But that's a while off really, just piecing together a plan!

Thanks again for your help mate!

Excellent, thanks for the reply! I love UK Passats! I'll get to the stealers after work.
Referencing the roof rail seals, the diagram that came up on the system did not show them as a separate part, whereas it did when he tried on a golf (I think) estate... Should the parts guy be digging deeper?

Cheers for the replies guys. The problem with the mats is that there doesn't seem to be any record on the vw system of rear mats with oval studs, yet that is what the car had. I'll go for the studless ones if I have to but I'd rather replace like with like... As for the rail corrosion, I read that t...

Not been on here in a while, I used to have a Red B4 Wagon which unfortunately got written off by a flying starter motor... :( But now, after three years of Saab ownership I'm back in the world of Passats with a Grey B5.5 Highline TDI Wagon! However, there are a few issues I'm having and I wondered ...

Yep hoping to do a bit more this summer than I did last year, time is not looking to be on my side though, plus I've got to renew a fair chunk of older gear...

Reminds me of 318/320's etc badged up as M3's; pointless and laughable...

The child lock switch might be dodgey? I know mine won't lock so maybe yours is constantly locked?

For some reason, PVA springs into my mind; but I'll leave you with that thought, because I have no idea why it came into my head! I could be onto something... subconsciously...

Specific to 1.9tdi and VR6 B4's. I'm having the same issue!

£450 part only from stealers or a Polish one fitted and gassed for £200 at my local rad shop; years warrenty too...

My car had the constant power wire, and the earth in the wrong slot on the connector, so they didn't line up with the ones in the HU connector. Double check all the wires line up across the connectors... I routed an 8g cable straight from the battery, and ran an 8g earth to the firewall; but patchin...

They're seperate crossovers for amps with mid/low and high outputs for each speaker. If you get an amp with one output per speaker then you may be able to join them to the same channel. Only the manufacturer can tell you this though... Is it like this? http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/images/stories/2...

Eek! How long has the Antony-Torpoint one been there?!!!?

Blimey my 10" typeR is set to half on the headunit, no gain and half on the amp, its still too loud for some songs! Yours must turn you car into a asphalt compactor!!! \m/ Nice one, is there a build? Any pics? http://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/530240/7239982/0/1225298007/Construction_machinery_Plat...

I like very much! Agree about the rear ride hight, not even half an inch? I never understood the concours lot, unless its a total minter theres no point!

I love run to the sun, it means half the chavs leave plymouth for the weekend to get wrecked and cause havoc. Mmmm peace and quiet!!!

Defo not going... ;)

TR team use ferrari engines dont they? Maybe fiat constructed the car....?

Scary stuff, don't need any more F1 fatalities.

I'm wanting to spray my headliner and didn't realise spray-on dye existed! Cheers for bringing that up ant!

Nice, love goodwood... Wouldn't mind a go in that atom round the track!

Yeah the chinese ones are ok, no good in fog though lol! VW want like £200 for the hellas but apparentl;y there are no OS blanks left in the uk (to fit in between the indicator and fog)... Go for the ebay ones if you're not worried about performance, they light up and look fine.

I agree with penri. I like having an awesome car that people don't recognise. Seriously 60% of people that see percy don't know hes a vw let alone a passat. The fact that he corners like a demon, blows your head off with the sound system and looks f*ckin cool; is for me to know and for them to quiet...

its just going daft. i ride mountain bikes and alot of trails and jump spots are being closed. due to the fact that the jumps and some tracks/wooden obsticles are classed as 'working at heights' :| its mountain biking, were meant to be high up lol Yep, Haldon near me (ish) is one of these... The FC...

Nice one, I like it! I remember going to town on a question in a 'general studies' exam (load of poo)... Think the question was "define 'cool'", well I had fun on that one (if you have to ask then you aint, etc etc), got full marks too! Ahh school...

Is it weird that I like the yellow?

From experience I will second both the panasonic and canon ixus, VERY good cameras for the money. :smile: My sis has just got the panasonic DMC-FS62EB-A and it takes awesome pictures in all lights, the presets are really good and light metering is almost instantaneous; which isn't that common on cam...
