Interested in hearing your exhaust for sure

I need to start putting some parts together to go for the same brake set up as you. Shame I will have to change driveshafts by the looks of it though having the PD115 B5 - or can I do just the CV joints too?

The choice of cameras is astounding. I wouldn't know where to start. A friend of mine bought a Nikon d3200 or something. It's heavier than I expected but pic look good.

I have seen mates run a lot more stretch than that and the car feels fine.

I ran 255 35 on my 10J X5 wheels on my X1 and hated it

Wish someone would help me out, I'm normally working on my own in the rain. I'm not too far from Telford, just wondering if you worked those ends. Don't know if I asked you this already but what camera do you use for your photos? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Well I say helping me out, I'm hel...

Does anyone have a list of all the bulb types in a B5.

Need to start collecting a bunch of bulbs for an overhaul.

Exterior and interior ideally (including ashtray & glovebox etc)

That's a long list of jobs right there, it would take me a whole weekend to do them. If not longer. I would definitely go with a dmf it absorbs the vibrations better plus you should be getting anything upto 100k miles from a LUK or Sachs kit. [emoji6] Obviously dependant on how you drive. Some peop...

Nothing exciting happening at the moment. Have a day off work Friday and I am hoping to get some bits and pieces done then. - Rear brake hoses - Rear caliper seal kit - Restore headlights - Install amber side repeaters and lamps - Give rear lights a machine polish also - Clean out underneath battery...

Small ?? http://rs1310.pbsrc.com/albums/s645/Gazwould/70242e12-0540-44de-a4a4-9f16830af2b4_zpsdqzbt6cz.jpg?w=480&h=480&fit=clip With larger heavier wheels carries the unsprung mass penalties . Personal preference and it all depends on how much the car is lowered. At your height the 17's wor...

There are loads of nice 17" alloy wheels but with lowering I think they can look too small. 18/19" is ideal for me.

Love the wheels though

I put 6L of fluid in. 3L g13 3L water. Mine wasnt pre mixed.

So not much going on except loving driving my car! MPG seems better and power smoother since the blank. My wiring loom for the cruise control still hasn't turned up so that's annoying! Question for you guys, I am thinking about removing the inlet manifold to clean it out properly, I assume its easy...

2000 Passat B5 PD 115 - 91,000 miles

Whata your list of bushes that you are changing?

Damn that interior was caked. Nothing a good scrub will sort.

These turned up today http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b124/Griggsey/Passat%20TDI%204%20Motion/20140512_093752_zpsb97d92d1.jpg Need a little clean up and a paint and they'll be as good as new. Should be a nice upgrade for the rear end. Vented 269mm brake upgrade. :D What is this setup from?? W8??

Coolers look much better in black. Good work

Noticing my Brake Fluid to be dropping quote rapidly. Located this to the NSR where I have noticed a couple of times now a wet patch by the rear tyre when left overnight.

Have ordered 2 rear brake hoses from TPS and will get them fitted ASAP.

I will look in to it. Thanks.

I can confirm the side mirror adjustment works like that on all b5 passats. The right adjustment will move both sides and the left is independent. The heating elements in my car take a bit of time to work. When the weather gets colder it will be easy to see if they work. Looking at the code for the...

Had my car scanned a couple weeks ago by a friend, got it emailed over to me yesterday. Anyone feel to shed some light on the fault codes feel free. There is an issue with central locking but this work was carried out from VW a fair few years back looking at a receipt. There seems to be an issue whe...

Too high of a percentage of cars sold from new are diesel fuelled. It will take decades to get them all off the road. I quote once a week atleast for DPF systems, I work for Nissan. Parts amd labour is unreal and not many people have that money laying around. On the other hand people shouldnt be buy...

Great for a reversing camera .

Maybe at some point but a double din and reverse camera are the least of my priorties for now.

Clutch / Flywheel / Suspension is whats coming up

I love ambers! Shame that seemingly no modern car have them. As for the tracking, it is a can of worms you have opened. I'd look closely at the inner suspension arm bushes. If the car is on its original arms they are probably well past it. It is something every B5 & B5.5 owner has to face soone...
