Thank you...[emoji846]

Can anyone tell me what this hose is...? It's extremely worn... it feels as though it's just about to fall to bits...[IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201908 ... 83835c.jpg[/IMG]

You have a point there....[emoji16]

NO JOKE RAINED EVERY DAY HERE....HATEFUL WEATHER...CANT WAIT TO GET AWAY FROM HERE!!!! I NEED AN ARK.

BASICALLY WHAT I AM SAYING.. NO NOT STARTED YET... WAITING FOR MY SERVICE STUFF AND WILL DO AT THE SAME TIME...

Have you checked the CCM under the front passenger carpet? This area is prone to water damage. Also check the connectors behind the A pillar panels in the same area, there's loads of plugs etc there that can get grotty over time. Loads of threads on here covering both, but they form part of the usu...

Usually theyll tell you theres very little or no adjustment possible at the rear of a B5.5 which is more or less correct. Youre really only looking for confirmation the alignment is ok after changing, and maybe some correction if its still significantly off. Also, a lot of techs really dont like th...

Itll probably leave a clear spot when the old casting comes off, but mark around its base for example. Even after that probably worth having an alignment check done afterward. Ok will definitely do this... especially for when i end up fitting new tyres to my Monti's ! I read that Hunter alignment c...

Theres some movement in the bolt holes, so mark the old ones positions accurately and fot new to match position. Support the axle well and do one side at a time. Changing these transforms loose handling at the rear, well worth doing. Okey dokey.. That makes sense... hopefully use the old bolts! tha...

Thanks everyone... I ordered the correct ones..[emoji6]

Ok cheers...

Still confused why all the arms stated for the rear are advertised...

But obviously it's out there to confuse us guys new to Passats ... quite the love affair now

Ordered the rear beam bush kit assemblies

I thought we were talking about the back end of the car. The front end is a lot more involved. There are four arms (not wishbones) each side, an antirollbar 'c' link, inner anti roll bar bushes and suspension top mount bushes to deal with. If you are going to change the eight front arms you need to...

There are no rear wishbones on a 2wd car, its a torsion beam rear axle. Essentially a beam axle that can also twist : https://www.google.com/search?q=b5.5+rear+axle&client=ms-android-h3g-gb-revc&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiZr4uw_OnjAhVHQUEAHf_0DSgQ_AUoAno...

Ok then. This is what you should buy and fit, £89. Notice the VW logo and part numbers have been ground off. These are the real deal Lemforder factory fitted items. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-VW-PASSAT-3B3-3B6-00-05-LEMFORDER-REAR-AXLE-MOUNTING-BUSH-HOUSING-BUSHES-OE/151967706480?fits=Model%3AP...

Is it a 4motion or fwd car? If fwd, a pair of lemforder axle bush assemblies is all you need. Should be about £100 for the pair. If a 4mo then it could get expensive. And just to check is it a B5 / 5.5 and not a B6 ? Hi.. B5.5 yep.. Fwd.. [emoji106] thanks... Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

I believe I now need to replace all my rear bushes.. I have ordered the rear beam bush assemblies. Should I order the upper and lower control arms and wishbones as a kit with bolts? £186 ebay... What do you guys say?? My car has been very heavily laden since February so I guess this has 'toed' the w...

I fitted them with 235's yesterday...very close but seem ok.. budget tyres so when I get the wheels redone and shod with better rubber I will report back...[emoji106]

Michelin Pilot Sport 4. I've had those on my B6 for a couple of years now and they are amazing. No problems in the wet and are positively on rails in the dry. Blackcircles are about £90 a corner but well worth the extra in my view. Brilliant.. thanks was just looking at black circles.. was toting w...

Thank you
