Re: B4 upgrades for B3s

Any B4 parts on a B3 will only ever be a downgrade. B3 just needs a smoothed nose cone, then sit back and admire it's beautiful simplicity.

I thought all the mines had been closed? Or do you have a personal mine that you had to get your minor serviced for?

Re: heres a guy who turned a b5.5 passat into a passaudi.

I like the end result though, where there is no audi badge. It just seems a lot of effort though, but then again are we just lazy for popping in blue sidelights and calling that a MOD? Yes I have just done that MOD this week :) My only hope is that he gets better at making videos, as that was really...

Re: Boot lock help!!

I seem to remember the lock was the cause of ours, but if you're not hearing the 'zip' noise I thought it would have been the solenoid.

Ours was just not latching when we closed the boot. Again not expensive, and not difficult to do.

Re: Boot lock help!!

Yeah the part is readily available at the dealers and is not a real wallet denter. We cable tied the boot shut from the inside until we could get the part.

It's an easy job to do to.

Have fun,

Re: What's your tyre pressure

Loaded up the Kangpoo for the weekend, went to pump up the tyres, Renault recommend 2.4bar at the front and 2.6bar in the rear. That is there recommended pressure for fully loaded motorway driving.

Re: Tyre pressure for 18's

The recommended tyre pressure for the wife's B6 is 2.6 bar unladen.

I guess my argument was wrong then :(

Re: Tyre pressure for 18's

Yeah 2.6 bar is about 36/38 (I can't remember)

My bro is a Merc mechanic and he says that most of their cars are up there in the top end of 30's

Re: Tyre pressure for 18's

My wife obsesses over her tyres pressures, but she always inflates them to the recommended pressure of 2.6bar. This is the same pressure regardless of the wheel sizes she has had on her car. For me this seems a little high, but I have no factual knowledge to present a tangible argument for her not t...

He has gone to spend some time with a new owner. Someone who isn't afraid to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in.

Don't want to steal his thunder, but I can confirm he is staying on the forum :)
