Hi guys and gals. I have just put half leather B5.5 seats in my B5. Just wanted to know if anyone knows how to wire the airbags as the connectors are different. My old B5 seats have a white, green and brown wire and the new B5.5 seats have a black, blue and brown wire. If i cut the connectors off th...

Wasn't today, but saturday replaced the split turbo intake pipe on the drivers side and decatted the exhaust on my old wagon. Then a wash and wax and interior clean ready for the german auto collective show on sunday.
She got a few admirers there so I'm happy.

Ah, ok. Thanks for that. A tdi 1 it is on the shopping list then

Hi guys. This may be a silly question, but is the intercooler from a 1.8t the same as 1 from a 1.9tdi?

Devastated. 1 of the music industries greatest talents has gone. Chester and linkin park are 1 of the greatest bands of all time, and the only band i wanted to see live. . .
R.I.P Chester and thank you for the music

Replaced the old, falling apart front indicators with nice shiney new 1s

Fitted 2 front brake wear sensors that the previous owner broke. No more beeps and messages to "check front pads"

Havent got 1 yet. Im down in essex

Thats good to know Big. Like the smoother look of the b5.5 rear. Thanks for the reply

Hi. I was just wondering if a b5.5 estate tailgate would fit a b5 estate? Any thoughts guys?

Thanks for clearing that up Mindriot . I am going to strip the rear doors down this weekend and check them.

Hi. I have a b5 wagon and have replaced the previous owners cheapo headunit with a jvc one out of my old 1.8t loon. My problem is this. . . . When in the loon the rear speakers worked fine. In the wagon they can only just be heard when the volume is turned right up. I heard the rear speakers run off...

It went into limp mode accelerating up a steep hill about 4 months ago but aint done it again. Flicking the ignition off and back on reset it with no more probs since. Did replace the N75 with a 2nd hand 1. The gauge is an analoge type, unbranded, that came out of my old 1.8t that struggled to make ...

Thanks for the replies guys. Mines an ATJ engine. Had it since august last year. The previous owner didnt say its been remapped and i havent got any paperwork to prove either.
Mr muscle clean might be on the cards then.
Thanks again guys.

Apologies if this has been asked before but how much boost should a 115bhp pd tdi make?
My boost gauge runs out at 20psi and i can get it off the scale. The only mods its got is an egr delete and a bmc panel filter that i know of.
Thanks, Ian

177000 - 1999 B5 passat 1.9tdi

Got her washed, hoovered out and then part loaded ready for a 300 mile cruise to cornwall in the morning.

Hi Gaz. Same size as i got under my B5. Ive run mine at 34psi since i had them put on just over a year ago. No adverse wear on them, eg: worn in the middle if over inflated, or worn edges if undertinflated.

Got it through another m.o.t.

Thanks for all your help guys

Is the gasket a main dealer only part?

I think i may as well check out under mine too. Thanks for the advise.

Hi guys. My b5 wagon has a jvc head unit fitted at the moment but the rear speakers are only just audible when the volume is almost at full. Ive heard the rear speakers had their own seperate amp. Does anyone know where the rear door speaker amp is and how can it be bypassed?

I will have a look at the weekend. Thanks for the reply

Hi all. I dont know if this has been posted before, so apologies if it has. My b5s problem is the driver side carpet is wet. Could it be linked to the plemum drains being blocked as i know the passenger side suffers from this. Any advise would be appreciates thanx
