Hi guys. Had some work done to my car the last week or so where they have raised my coil overs and re connected my abs and traction sensors in due to them being left out last time I had work done to it

Since this the lights off the dash have gone but now the abs kicks in at low speeds when coming ...

Sorry mate I've been really busy! I jus got married on Saturday so I've been running around a lot. I have no idea at all if they any good yet! I haven't had time to get them checked out. They are about a year old but have 3year guarantee so I'm hoping they are leaking so I can get new ones haha. I ...

Thanks for the replies guys. What other options do I have then? I'm not sure if they will be any good mate to be honest. They were coilies lowered heavily but the reason I want standards is recently they don't sound too good and I'm sick of them! Can't go over speed bumps, pot holes have 5 ppl in ...

Hi guys, after lowering my car for some years I want to return it to standard and run standard rims. Been looking online for passats breaking and found a few local. Checked on eBay and a guy has offered me a full used set for 150. What do you think of the price and how much do you think labour will ...

Sorry guys, u saying that just reminded me, I have got 235s on the front, the guy who supplies my tires said to try them but still having problems with them. So should I try spacers or have the height adjusted? As I was saying they are really cheap on ebay so maybe I should try it.

Tbh I don't know much about cars, the mechanics anyways. i changed my winter rims back to my normal ones today and noticed. Its the inside wall. It's some sort of arms with a nut on the end if that's any help. I thought maybe spaces would give it a bit more room. I tried to adjust my coilovers today ...

Guys....
Running my car on 19 235 35s and having problems with the tyres on the front. It's scraping on something and killing me on replacing them. Its only the front ones that are wearing. Obviously my cars lowered but I don't think its that low. Thinking getting some spacers to see if that will ...

hmmm ok, its not hanging down as in broke from clips, they look as if they are still there, so its hanging lower from the back, is that still the same? it wont catch on a kerb or drain from the looks of it but still needs work. recently the car just been having little problem after another. i just ...

hi, hope you all been enjoying the snow over the past few days....
today ive noticed after yesterdays driving that my engine tray has dropped stupid amounts and almost touching the floor. im guessing it full of snow some how due to it feeling heavy when trying to lift it. my car is lowered so it is ...

guys! had major issues with my car last few days....found out it was just my battery that was flat, aa come out and said needs to be changed! what a stupid design the passat 5.5 is to remove the battery!

it took me and a friend about 4 hours over 2days to do it and still broke some stuff! we are ...

No I haven't had it checked yet due to working a lot. Ill have to wait until next weekend, that when im off next. hope it will last until then. How much do you think it will cost to sort out the problem?

it starts quicly, cranks for less then 2 seconds, so thats why im wondering what it could be. im pretty sure its not going to be the glow plugs...but im no mechanic haha.

thanks for the reply mate

hiya guys, hope u all had a good xmas and new year!
looking for some info and advice for my 5.5 pd130. recently in the cold weather its been making some funny sounds when starting. only when its really cold, when i start it, it makes a hissing/tapping sound for about 10seconds, then its ok! but as i ...

Just know, not a fan of standard cars, I always molest them haha ok ill increase the height a little and hope that will help. On standard suspension it was way too high, opposite to lowered susppension. Thanks for all the replies and advice

Thanks for all the replies, what about raising it up a bit? Will that help? A guy at work said that will help a bit due to the angle it sits at. Some times I wish I left the car standard haha

ok cheers for the reply mate, i guess i can live with it knowing it happens to every one, just thought it was something wrong with mine! out of interest how long did you have yours before you replaced them?

thanks for your replies, i havent had the tracking checked yet, just the guy was insistant it was because i have had it lowered. he said because the car was not designed to be its wearing unevenly. its annoying becuase it cost so bloody much replacing tires, they aint cheap haha!

hi guys, ive been having problems with my car ever since i have lowered the, im running on 19s, 225 35s on the front and 235 35's on the back, problem is on the inside wall of the fronts has worn away, bad! had new ones put on in feb and one has already worn away and ripped, had it checked by a ...

I got a b5.5 rolling on 19s, lowered on coilovers. Got 225/35 on front due to scraping on suspension and 235/35 on the back. Sits nice but kills me on tires. Worth it though haha
