UKPassats

I been spoiled by the Hella twins on my Golf!
So when winter came and had to use the standard lights on Passat it was crikey I cant see a thing!

Arent HIDS illegal?

Money? well that depends more on the postage/carriage costs.

Oh right! Gonna have to get a good daylight look then!

Dont consider this a mod, the standard lights are so poor and as the new ones are projector type I'm hoping its an improvement.

Will take pics over the weekend mate.

Oh if no need to take bumper off I assume you still have to remove the grille?

Couldnt see one on the side. Also in the instructions for the new headlights it said remove bumper and there is some kind of beam adjuster that I think is underneath the new headlights. Its the Ultra drl set of headlights/indicator combined. Replacing mine because I feel they are very poor. So BackT...

I have 4 screws (torx) in wheelarch. 3 on the flat and one that goes up into the end of the wing. I removed all of those! I have tried pulling forward! With great force! (I aint no 10 stone weakling!) I tried pulling, pushing and even hitting the bumper from the wheel arch! All to no avail. It will ...

Need to take bumper off to fit new headlights. Tried on Sunday but hit a problem! Undid everything and got to the stage of pulling it off, but no chance! Wouldnt budge a millimetre! Looks /feels as if its held on at the sides. I pulled out or rather released all clips I could see but still nothing. ...

I wanted Uniroyal Rainsports for my Golf and ordered them through mytyres. When I got the shipping/tracking info turned out they came from Holland!
So I wouldnt worry about sourcing tyres online here!

The problem is definitely on the sides!

The bottom is totally free and the top and front.
The sides wont pull out or forward. I nearly broke the side of the bumper trying to pull it!

Well I tried toady and bumper wont come off! Followed this write up and photos and had a Haynes with me but to no avail. Undone all the screws as stated but bumper wont budge! From what I can see in between bumper and wheelarch covers there seems to be a metal plate with a hex head bolt fixed up int...

My bumper wont slide off!

Reading would be for me!

I would recommend the use of Slick 50.

certain it saved my Pug engine when all water drained away once.

Never used engine flush on any of my cars! Thats over 30 years of experience.

Just let it drain for a good while, then refill.

I have chrome stuff on my Golf which is mystic blue, opted (in the end) for black ones as my Passat is black!

Congrats mate!

And I just took up the special offer!

had my email and yes the offer is a very good one!

Seems strange that its at 4 degrees though!
I could understand if it was 0 degrees.

This morning driving to work I got a warning ping and the dash temp flashed. It showed 4 C

This normal?

Results?

Assume it aint me as no email.

Mine wont get to halfway at all.

Yea my heater works fine, so if not an airlock then will have to look at thermostat!

Similar problem to justin31's thread but dint want to hijack. My temp sensor played up as gauge would go down to nothing and come back when it felt like it! So changed the sensor and since then the car has been running cold. (W reg 1.8T) Temp gauge never gets above the cold/mid section (the vertical...

So can I get aero wipers to fit mine without changing the arms?

For a very good price ask R-tech.

They have done my Golf and several cars for my son-in-law Billy and cant recommend them enough! Top guys and great service and reasonable prices!

As soon as we can arrange it Billy and I are going to them for remaps on our Passats!

Following me onto a forum again?

Congrats!

Hope all goes well and not too many sleepless nights!
