UKPassats

When you got 150 miles on £20 it must have been a while ago when fuel was cheaper ??? But 83 miles for a diesel does seem a bit thirsty...I used to get about 100/110 on £20 Are you using supermarket diesel ?? If so try the premium ones...super unleaded And have you had the car for a service latel...

right I've had a few diesel passats in the past and have been over the moon with the mpg but the new bus is proving to be a greedy b***ard.. The fuel light came on I put £20 in and the car got 83 miles and the light came back on. I've done this 3 times now and every time i've not got much more.. I ...

my 130 gives a bit of smoke on first start up in the morning but bar that shes clear.
My 110 was a bit smokey until I blanked of the egr after that it never gave a puff

hmm I wonder if it was one of them in my b5 that caused the loom to go on fire

I did look in the howto section the only thread I found was 3 posts and explained how to remove the fog light switch..

viewtopic.php?f=33&t=4893

Im hoping to fit front fog lights to the b5.5 wagon
has anyone got a guide on how to do it?
also what's all needed?

first job I done on my 110 was the egr valve delete as you say better throttle response and we were getting better mpg as well.
will be doing this to the 130 asap and hope it gives as good results on it as it did on the 110

yea we've got a few things to sort out but nothing major.
we're loving the colour and chrome combo but planning on a debadged grill.
front drivers wing has a bit of a blister on the arch
passengers wing has a wee bit on it to but again as said were happy with it

well here's a few pics that were emailed to me by the seller we picked this up tonight and were well happy with it. once i've got it washed ill get some fresh pics. http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss150/jbh325i/IMG_2243.jpg http://i570.photobucket.com/albums/ss150/jbh325i/IMG_2239.jpg http://i570...

sent by me on my blower

Ive seen this happen before so very possible this is what caused it

that's maybe what's saved it as the Auto box wouldn't have kept the crank turning where as a manual box would have kept the crank turning when the car was coasting still in gear.

brilliant news well chuffed for you mate.

out of interest what were you doing when it snapped?
was it just ticking over or were you driving ?

My next MOD

I like that idea aswel

so is yours in a b5 or a b5.5 ? B5 Interior in a B5.5, So it will work the other way around. i think the sport style material on the B5.5 interior sucks. :sad: The material on the B5 sport interior is much nicer and softer. :wink: I totally agree with you on this I know where there's a b5 sport wag...

You can get the back bit with 12v sig socket or with holes for heated seat switchs

Bottom one is a storage tray

There are a few on ebay at the mo, i got mine at the breakers for £15

so is yours in a b5 or a b5.5 ?

cheers bud you've gave me a great idea.

is the material easy enough to get off without damaging it?

you can put the center console in but the hand brake is in different place How??? :???: i have a B5.5 and a B5 handbrake console in my garage and they look the same but lack of ODB port on the B5.5. even the B5 armrest (that i have in the garage also) fits in the B5.5 handbrake console. I have fitt...

If you cant get one local and if this one I pick up is a good one ( im sure it is ) I could always stick it on a pallet

just a pity your so far away im waiting to hear about a full car for spares for me to get the dash loom out off
