Re: Overboost limp mode ?!

I tried the Mr muscle method....waste of time. I took the turbo off afterwards, stripped it and cleaned it out. Couldn't tell I'd emptied a can of Mr muscle in it. It's not as scary as it sounds. I did post a few pics up somewhere.... http://www.ukpassats.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=93172 BU...

Re: =UKP THE SHOW 2018 =

Im pretty new to the passat scene. I brought my first just over a year ago, got the bug. Now i have two. Very much up for car shows ect but have no information on them. Always up for meeting like minded people with weird obsessions over german family cars..... Any invites would be great. Thanks Will.
