Re: jealousy?
I have been looking at newer cars today. My B5.5 has had a few £ spent in it recently. Rear calipers, plugs, cam belt and water pump, cv boot, front discs and pads and last night I found the handbrake had gone loose and the rear OS Caliper is sticking. Think it will have been caused by driving throu...

Drive to Pembrokeshire from Chester 2 weeks ago. Took bloody ages and my son threw up all over himself. Roads were grand though.

It goes back in eventually. Just be careful. I cracked my windscreen putting mine back in a couple of years back.

Re: Time to leave
Terrible service , a B7 is ment to be the lesser fault free refined version of the infamous B6 . My new German steed has diagnosed issues that I've not seen in a 6 year ownership of the B5.5 issues I've not experienced in getting on for 30 years of motoring , but luckily I have a 12 month outside N...

Re: Cam Belt Change
Despite any B5.5 now only being worth between £0 to about £1.5k for the very best ones, they are good solid cars that don't really rust and wikk last and last if looked over properly. It would be a false economy not to do, as a minimum, the timing belt, timing belt tensioner, timing belt idler pull...

Re: New Passat owner
I used to have a 63 plate Seat Toledo with the 1.6. Over 12k miles I averaged 58.3MPG. Probably 60/40 in favour of motorways/national speed limit rather than town driving. It was brilliant on fuel. The Passat will be a bigger and heavier car I'm sure. Edit: Just looked and the Passat is over 250KG's...

Re: AWX cold running lumpiness
My 05 AWX, 151k was similar (though not as bad) recently. Moody in the cold mornings. Took longer to start (still always first time though), but lumpy when started and quite smokey. Changed the plugs last Wednesday to done Bosch ones and it’s infinitely better now.
