just wondering if anyone has the dimensions for a towbar to fit a 2008 estate, sure they are all the same(est and saloon), the length of the fixed bar going from right to left, size of the box section(that the towball fixings fits to ) and the length and width of the two arms to attatch to body(I ha...

Cheers

I have been through this scenario with my Passat Estate 2ltr Diesel Bluemotion and had the sensor and then the wheel bearing changed after a time the fault came back again. I have been in the magnetics industry for the last 7 years and was able to look at the bearing that had been removed and check...

I am afraid you will have to fit a complete hub and bearing unit probably cheaper from TPS rather than VW, definitely recommend a genuine one, I think I paid around £80. It is a sealed unit and the abs pickup ring is somehow built into the back part of it (no visible ring, the back is kind of rubbe...

I bought a £50 bearing extractor / installer kit off e-bay a few years ago now expecting it to be poo but it is as good as gold. I've pulled out and drawn in about 12 bearings with it now on various family cars. Also good for sundry "bush" removal. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/23Pc-Front-Wh...

just wondering if anyone has changed the bearings in the hub flanges on a B6 2008, if so what size of bearings(do they have a magnetic strip in the bearing ?) did you use to fit the flange, easier to get bearings up here rather than the complete hub and abs ring, I have also found in the past with o...

thank you for that, I have a problem with speed on my line due to being over 3 1/2 miles from the exchange and a copper cable, so I think this option is out for me, back to the drawing board I think, pity as it looked a fairly good option, i like the idea of the Bluetooth as well

There is an alternative, take a look at OBDeleven, £60ish and works like VCDS I've used it on my 2017 Alhambra and my 2004 Passat.

cheers for that, just found it on gumtree link, right next to the cloned vcds's for sale in the north

no your cool, i totally understand now just through yourselves, this is kind of why i put the topic up, been researching with the info i have gleaned from you and alan, just testing the water with things i don't quite understand, seen this now, the obdeleven which is under license from vw or ag, thr...

to mindriot and alan gunn,i have done a bit of research on the vag com cable and you both are on the mark with the reviews about it, so will either bite the bullet and go for the ross tech with vcds lite software, other thought is this, any comments appreciated https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAG-CAN-PRO...

cheers for that, will give it a try when the snow has stopped and it's a bit warmer, i have no wish to use it for coding, more to do fault checks, i have never had a problem with op-com or inpa and a few others i have used up till now as long as you accept that they are clones and have limited use, ...

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the correct obd2 cable for a 2008 will be a VAGKKL blue cable,i have one from a fiatecuscan, which also appears to do vag, the other thing is will rosstech's lite software do things like setting the rear calipers, will be the next thing i remove to check they ...

On my kit, no, just a washer. I put a good few drops of oil on the threaded bar though to help things along. Spanners on the extractor tool might not give enough leverage. I have two 1/2" breaker bars, 450mm long and 600mm long. I've braced to the floor using the 450mm (if that makes sense) an...

ct.p, I knew you’de have posted here as soon as I saw the title, Lol. OP... don’t get a B6 [emoji52] B5/.5 is where it’s at. Lol. No need to hammer anything with the kit suggested above. They are brilliant! (I’m an Avid B5 Nut btw) 54 Passat Wagon PD175 99’ Audi S4 Avant 2.7 QTO ;) too late got the...

My m8 is mot tester and garage owner for over 35 years (well that is how long i have known him and the garage). I ask him on my regular Saturday morning visit i make for a brew and chat. He said he has not had a lot through about it but he is having to buy new gas testing equipment. you don't know ...

been following this topic on a few forums, I was on the hunt for parts and ended up talking to a mot tester and owner, they have not been given any information on the way that this is to be implemented, one thing he did say was who will pay for the new test equipment, i know and he also backed up th...

och naw, sorry bud, I am good, cheers for that though, I enjoy the craick, no offence intended, we are all jock tamsons bairns as we say up here, but am new to these, I banjoed my E46 touring ended up borrowing a B5 from a friend and was quite impressed with the ride comfort, I would say the bm you ...

2008, will need to find the code later when I know what I am looking for, I would say it is a 140 engine, but hayho, my German knowledge is not that good, where will I find that? £190 a year for tax(Gazwould do you read all the posts("any advice welcome,going to look at a 09 b6 estate diesel hi...

thanks for the input folks, just bit the bullet and went on a wing and a prayer(away at 0550 for the train,got a cheap first class ticket from inverness,free coffe and drinks all day, with a nice breakfast and lunch, resisted the free chardonnay and malts all inclusive, I would do it again), got col...

any advice welcome,going to look at a 09 b6 estate diesel highline,anythings to look out for

cheers big F, are the shorts compulsory(it's snowing up here lol), thanks for that, i think i may try another option, i was more looking to see if anyone had made a press to do it with the carrier still fitted on the vehicle, i have some 14mm threaded rod, plenty of sockets and odd bits laying aroun...
