UKPassats

notice dodge didnt allow us to see the whole invoice.Whys that i wonder? :wink: holy bump! I called back to order another one for my bro's passat and they wanted £70! it seemed the guy on the trade counter put mine through as the plastic lower door trim bit on the invoice! Got a bargain anyhow :D

Its the estate in my sig

In Manchester, not sure what price to be honest, I paid over the odds for it originally just due to 1 owner, the bodywork condition, interior and service history. (didnt help i'd looked at over 10 odd that weekend that were falling apart, )

use overdraft/credit card with instant balance transfer, far more manageable and cheaper than finance!

I think for 6.5k this is sexy as hell >>> http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201223474960013/sort/default/usedcars/price-from/6000/price-to/7000/model/a6/make/audi/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/postcode/sk62de/radius/30/page/1/quicksearch/true?logcode=p http://pic...

Bought a landrover , so will be putting the passat up for sale shortly.

1 previous owner, full service history, just gone over 100k miles, December 2003 plate,

highline, heated leather seats, 6 cd changer in dash, black, privacy glass, hids, body work fantastic condition, interior as new.

5000 pics............. Same range as the 4300, but whiter, more white on the road too which makes for loverly driving at night Definetely in love with the 5000... http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/pault123/2012-03-22200735.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/pault123/2012-03-22200747.jpg...

holy mother bump!

anyone found any bendy wipers in silicone yet?

I have a little bit of dirt in my projection tube that one of my 4300's failed in, tried to get a microfibre cloth in there to no avail, tried an air duster which didnt help. But on looking in there it seems it isnt a tube at all, but a reflective cylinder where the bulb goes in, then a space which ...

seen you again other morning on A57, and thought how can such a sick 'Sat not be on UKPassats, where does all the mod inspiration come from, this car should really be on ukpassats LOL :???: Missed the reply on this thread until I checked now, glad to see you are a member! :D Mine is totally stock hi...

cheers guys, went for the Kumho KH31, at £115 for two tyres 205 width from blackcircles

Currently got these on but fronts have worn down, lasted me about 25,000 miles and are sticky as hell, taking off from lights and cornering

i normally give it a little jiggle as I pull and it pops quite easily

OOOOOOOOOH MATRON

narrowed it down to two Kumho tyres now, not sure which size and spec to go for though?


Kumho KH17 195 width

Kumho KH31 205 width

For example, comparing http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/uniroyal/rainexpert/195/65/R15/V/91/f?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3fversion%3d2.0&tyre=18407270 VS http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/uniroyal/rainexpert/205/60/R15/V/91/f?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3fversion%3d2.0%26width%3d205%26pr...

My reg plate on black circles shows my tyre size as 195 65R 15 V 91 Current Kumho tyres are 205 60R 15 92v Which would be the better size for comfort, control and grip? Also what is the lowest speed rating I could go to? Had some H rated's on once and every light I took off from was a wheelspin fail...

changed to the 5000 now. Managed to eliminate the Return Wire (anode) shadow alltogether by putting the return wire on the bottom of bulb. The shadow isnt visible in the lower beam at all, and not detecable in the higher beam where its reflected to. Had to bend the small tab which locks the bulb in ...

Goods have turned up, fitting tomorrow. After many led sidelights fails, went to stock yellow sidelights for a while, very bmw yellow+hid look, but looking forward to white leds again now http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/pault123/2012-03-16210818.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/paul...

too late now i've ordered the h7's again, but never had any issues, cut off has always been perfect, and precise beam.

yeah the b5.5 projectors are almost custom made for them

BCM the 5000's deffo sound a good buy! I see a lot talk about "well in the country roads 6000k are fine as you use full beam anyway", but my 4300's lit up country roads so well full beam was never needed. Hid's are going to be my next upgrade, thers a guy selling the kits on here, once he ...

Have a look at my post in this thread

So my 4300k which has been going strong for 2 years has developed a pink tinge in the left bulb :shock: Spent nearly half a day yesterday researching online for 4300 vs 5000 vs 6000. As i'm needing a new bulb thought it would be a good time to have a change. I'm presuming it is the bulb thats gone a...

Which bulb did you get from that site mate?

The super Tera's look pretty good,

the number of cheap ebay LEDS i've gone through, these will pay for themselves if they last as suggested by many good reviews.

anyone had any joy in fitting silicon wipers to the updated b5.5 bendy wipers?

Looked everywhere and can't see any adapter or an easy way to do it.
