UKPassats

I got them from http://www.carz2.co.uk/ they has them all in stock except the passengers side sill which they had coming in with the next shipment, I had to wait a week for it but it was no problem, very easy to deal with.

Any repair pictures? No repair pictures yet but the car is going away this weekend to get the work done , so hopefully it won't be too much longer. I have been using my Nova to get into work this last month and with the cold weather and the salt on the roads I would say as soon as the Passat is bac...

If you can, keep as much of the factory metal as you can and cut the replacement panels to fit the rusted areas on your car. The reason I say this is pattern panels are made of thinner, cheaper metal... I can well believe it, the new panels don't look to be brilliant quality, at least they will all...

I am very jealous, I would love a VR6.

I ordered the new panels today so it looks like the GT may ride again!

Does anyone know if the rear wheel arch panels on a B3 estate are the same as the ones on a B3 saloon?

The guy at Imperial says they are different and that they don't do any panels for the estate, but I don't think he is right.

My B3 GT failed it's MOT on Friday. All the mechanical stuff passed no problem but he found a hole in the sill he wanted me to repair. I took into it today and removed the sill covers and rear arches to see how bad it was. It turns out it was very bad indeed. Every hole down the sill corresponds to ...

Cheers lads, I'll have a poke about and see if any of that stuff helps.

I'm having running problems with my B3 GT. It idles really badly, bouncing from 500 to 1500rpm and there is a hesitation in the power delivery. Not a hesitation that you have to wait for they power but that know they power is coming in you can feel it fade away and then come back, it happens quite q...

Balls. I bought a load cover a few months ago that I haven't got round to fitting yet, I though I had all the parts but I don't have those brackets for the top of the suspension mounts.

Anyone have any for sale?

were you based matey, sounds weird but I have a black one in another wagon I have so you could try it in to see if it matches ok, failing that I will have a full trim for sale soon that goes with said load cover cheers matt I'm in Northern Ireland so not exactly handy for a test fit but thanks for ...

I'm still looking a load cover if anyone has one for sale.

I checked and mine does have the wires, but how do you switch them on? Or do they come on themselves when the weather is cold?

Does anyone know if B3's ever came with heated washer jets?

Or does anyone know of a universal kit that can be bought?

Thanks

I love the internet, there is always someone who has already done what you need:

Thats great news guys, I thought I was going to be in for an expensive fix. I'll try cleaning it out over the weekend. At least if it doesn't fix it I'll not be out much money.

I'm having a lot of trouble with my B3 GT, the engine keeps stopping. If I'm rolling up to a junction and I'm off the throttle and I have the clutch in the revs will drop away to nothing and the engine will stop. It happens all the time, almost at every junction and it will happen twice or 3 times w...

Do you have all the rails and fittings for it? How much?

We did one last night with my motorclub, we call it a "scatter" though. We use it as a way to train new members how to work with a map and to work together as a crew. It's the first step on getting them into navigation/road rallies. Whoever is organising the event just picks points from a ...

Yea I had to do the same. The stuff holds so much water you can hardly lift it out of the car its that heavy.

Do you see where all those leaves are in your photo, I found a big hole under there on mine. It was under the sealer so it looked like nothing till i went hunting for it. Massive hole!

My B3 GT has disks at the rear.

Noticed that my carpets were getting wetter, I'd already sealed the windows, door skins, door seals etc. Couldn't work it out. A man I know suggested it might be roof seams. (oh hi Jeremy) What would he know... Did this sort out your soggy carpets? I chased a lot of leaks around my B3, still haven'...

Can you get me a price to post one of these to Northern Ireland?

I think the fuel sender and the fuel pump are all one unit so you would need to change the fuel pump to change the fuel sender.
