UKPassats

just been reading all you people that have posted here slating the solida fly conversion. Its all * no swearing * and to be honest its people like you's that cause people not to go ahead with certain things. I have converted my passat 1.8t to solid, i done so all myself, with only basic knowledge ...

Right little update people, I have got the brakes test fitted to the passat and they look excellent, now its just time to rip everything off again and get it all painted up, watch this space as I should be pressing on pretty hard in the coming months!

pretty much answered the question yourself there mate lol

ive found an adjustable actuator of the forge website for my vw passat. I didnt think you could fit these to the passats as i thought the boost had to be ecu controlled, my car is the 1.8t petrol engine??

Yeah it did suffer from flat battery the other day as its been parked up for a good while, I checked it as I have a problem with the car as it comes out of negative pressure onto boost the car hesistates, i changed the fuel filter and checked the spark plugs and there ok, so im guessing coil pack

Ive cleared them and started the car with no probs, then i had none of them come back so not exatcly sure what to do, its a 1999 1.8turbo

Hi guys I put the dianostic machine on the car today and I have numerous faults on it. I have the fault codes but I dont know how to put my finger on the problem and sort it, so if any of you have had these codes and sorted it please could you shed some light, thanks.

codes:
P1517 main relay J271 ...

I have r32 front brakes for sale complete kit £350

Yes thats correct, the ebay turbo are cheap and nasty, ive heard of problems with them holding boost or even porducing boost in some cases. Go to cr turbos they quoted me £650 for a K04-015 to fit almost straight onto my passat, just havent got round to buying it yet!

Little update, I went to pick up the R32 front end brakes this week and they are huge! Should be able to stop me pretty quick when im on and off the brakes. Going to start working out how to fit them this week, already had a little play its not a straight forward job a little machining will be ...

you should be driving a nova lol

Well uprated injectors are in the pipeline as is various bits and bobs I will benefit from it as im after 250bhp plus. Most remaps above phase 1 would end up blowing the KO3 turbo in due course anyway

oops theres the pic now lol, ok cool I will remeber that by the way, especially when im dialing in my new brutal camshafts i need the degrees off you etc etc !!!!!!! lol

A little update here

Lol at least your trying hey!!!

Yeah i know I've seen loads of these cheapo turbos on ebay, I wouldnt even bother, the ones I have been looking at are around the £800 mark. Thanks for the input mate.

I want to upgrade the turbo on my passat. It currently has the K03 fitted as standard. I read somewhere before of people fitting the K04 I just wondered if anyone here knew the turbo number or where to get them from? Is there any major modifications to be done to fit it??

Hello everyone, I have been given a car by some relatives so this gives me the go ahead to crack on with getting my passat to where I want it. I will be updating progress as time goes on although I am not going to reveal at this point exactly what I' doing to the car, lets just say it will be a vxr ...

Right to time change the brakes as I am moving up from stock power, im just after so bolt on brake upgrade for the fronts, ive seen the thread about the 312mm carriers but im not sure exactly what i need to do that and what car i can source them off or does anyone know of any other vag complete ...

I have just given mine a wheels off clean. Cleaned inside the arches, I use mer trim and vinyl cleaner which seems to repel winter road crud, Coppa-slipped loads of bolts ( those which I am likely to need to remove ie wheels) so they don't seize, and put a little bike chain lube on the hinges. This ...

Does anyone know where i can source a cheap flywheel for my passat 1999 1.8t dual mass or solid one? its just gone and i need to fix it this weekend

Yeah it is, thanks mate. I do get alot of turbo chatter maybe this is the reason?
