Hi,

Does anyone know what size rubber fuel hose I need to replace all my fuel lines on My BKP?

And how much length wise?

Cheers

How do you know the Diff bearings are gone?

Any noise?

I had this on my B5.5 Estate. I changed disks and pads for off he shelf GSF parts and the noise began.

Found out that cheaper pads are a little bit lose so bought some BOSCH ones and the noise went.

A case of you get what you pay for.

Hope this helps.

Your right!
Bloody garage set the exhaust cam 1/2 tooth out so I couldn't get my locking pin in.

Seems to start better now but not perfect.

They marked all the pulleys before removing old belt.

Probably why the new cambelt snapped.

Cheers will give it a check

Evening All,

My Passat BKP started to get an intermittent noise at idle like a vibration. On Monday evening, I left work and it began to make a knocking noise in the engine and in a few minutes, the STOP LOW OIL PRESSURE flashed up.

Hi,

I drive a 2007 spec TDI 16V Sport 140 with full service history which I put into the local garage last Thursday for a service @131000miles including Cambelt and water pump change.

My Passat TDI has done just under 200k and just started the dreaded front brake clunk a few weeks ago. This would only happen at slow speeds and the car also made a lot rattling and banging when going over small bumps.
