Re: 140bhp or 170bhp?

Whenever I put my details in it shows mine as a saloon but it's an estate. They never seem to be spot on as my old GTi used to come up as a five door and it was a 3 door.

Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate

I've always been a fan of the Vrs Neptune wheels but not sure whether they are a direct fit at 5x112? Anyone able to advise?

Re: Repairing a bumper??

It's more hassle than it's worth, eBay will be your friend for a new bumper and then sand it all down and prep it yourself and then get it sprayed by a local paint shop.

Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate

Isn't there are any decent exhaust systems available? Milltek or the likes? I'm really liking at upgrading the performance of the estate so it's a bit more of a sleeper but doesn't seem like there is any chance of decent power much above 215 unless I imagine you start spending big bucks.

Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate

Tempted by the exhaust tips but not so sure, which ones are those out of interest?

Re: Uncomfortable!

I'm 6'2" and can't say I have a problem, found it very comfortable on a long journey and that's even with the fact I suffer from a bad back anyway. It is a bit fiddly but I'm sure you will find a good position for it.

Re: First two modifications to the new wagon

If you push your key in all the way and turn the headlights off they will come on. Really simple to fit as well, just one torque screw on the outside of each fascia and then two screws to take the light unit out.

First two modifications to the new wagon

Only two simple ones but make it look a little nicer, next on the list some LED sidelight builds and some good bulbs (any suggestions?) and then time for a remap and possibly some lowering springs. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b15/mikeyb90/Mobile%20Uploads/image_zpsna2ulavz.jpeg http://i16.phot...

Re: Newbie with some questions

I'm happy with just the rear park sensors or camera, will an aftermarket camera work with the RNS? Don't really want to change the head unit as I quite like it and don't want to spend money on that, would rather get it remapped.

Re: Newbie with some questions

Just had a quote for £374 + VAT, is that about right for anyone who has experience?

Newbie with some questions

Evening, New to Passats but been in VWs for a while and always been a fan. So the time has come to buy a sensible car so went for a 61 plate Passat estate techsport 170. Really pleased with it, unfortunately with my budget and things I wanted it didn't come with xenon headlights or parking sensors. ...
