Indeed! However after fixing the cars initial known issues,gearbox repair Inc clutch and flywheel and injectors refurbed nothing else really went wrong, covered 70k in my ownership, only moved on due to added flexibility a mk2 galaxy offers! Always thought the passat was a better drive and more comf...

So that's your secret minimental!!

Very impressive piece of kit!

applaude you for your skill and success!!

A did a B5 AJM, there's a really annoying coolant pipe that's a nuisance at the top of the bell housing.

A stud and nut can be a life saver as this acts like an extended dowl and helps to line up the engine and box (commonly found on Peugeot gearboxes)

Clutch kit with flywheel are the essential parts.you may want flywheel and clutch bolts too but I have always reused mine. The spigot bearing takes a bit work packing with grease and hydraulic in out. On your back these are not nice but if your well healed at it and strong it is do able, but I would...

I am in outwood, Wakefield, WF1 3ER

Although the B5 has been off the road for a around 4 years, I say goodbye to my old faithful on Saturday when it gets collected for what I presume will be scrap/breaking or maybe exported either way they fetch a good price! Always starts efforlessly and the A/C still works (sure do miss the A/C) Man...

My method is to remove the alternator

I make this easy by snapping a cooling fin on the back of the viscous fan, look for biggest spaced and snap that by placing a prybar in and twisting.

This allows easy removal of the bolts and alternator. 20 min job!

Is the alternator clutch pulley in good order?

I like Exide or Banner Starting Bull too

Now reduced to £175!

Do have some front discs 288mm, a few top suspension arms and a track rod end, all genuine parts!

Parts back up for sale following yet another change of plan!!!

Unplug maf and see if things improve

Does the engine crank/turnover when in non start state?

Has the coolant temp sensor ever been replaced?

Never used j and r but mecatech are awesome but just struggle to get them

A/C fan can squel too

Anything aftermarket at all on car?

Eric car guy has a great vid on you tube for parasitic draw

Try to release the lower ball joints, shock therapy works wonders for loosening the abs sensor wether you wanted to or not lol

Dealer/TPS sells them. I never replace them but if i had to only genuine would do!

Still for sale, will accept £170 collected but this is the lowest i will go as feel i may get a B5.5 again one day!

Many thanks
