Oh :/ what a pity, couldn't you make a good one out of two? Using the good parts of one of them you could have put together the second one :) that was my plans originally but I was offered the N reg A4 avant at a price that I really couldn't refuse. I bought the A4 and the wife had the sharan so it...

I had the exact same problem on my mrs golf. It was draining 0.4a. If the car wasn't used for a day it wouldn't stared the following day. On the alternator there is a connector with 2or 3 wires going into it, that goes to the voltage regulator. When I unplugged that it was only draining 0.04a which...

Ive been hoping for one of them for about a week.. still no joy

my 110Tdi A4 doesn't have an mpg read out so ive worked it out and if im right im getting an average of 65mpg with it

would the rust not be covered under the paint guarantee ? Ive not read up much how that works though tbf :-? It would have been and we would have got it done free as the car had a full vw service history but the previous owner decided to touch the wings up around the same area at one point.. we pic...

I would be doing the solid flywheel conversion.
as for garage prices ive no ideas as thats the kind of thing I would do on my own

did your original lights have the fog lights built in? what are you doing with them could be interested

more to the point how good are they at night?

as the title stays. I know the obvious stuff IE trim level seat style rear electric windows extra.. is there any mechanical or suspension differences to make it a sport or is it just the trim and extras ? Just trying to see why my insurance would go up nearly £100 a year for a sport compared to my s

might be worth a look at.
let me know what your mate says.

ive been having a look online and cant find one can anyone recommend one?

My passat discs also fell off pretty easy might of had to give it a bit of persuasion but nothing major, not like my Mondeo discs that I had to grind through before I could get them off I, I cut through the discs braking surface and them hammered the life out of them till the bell snapped in half t...

Involves wiring, different ccm and remote fob

what wiring is involved? ive got a complete car im breaking as my 98 passat blew its turbo so going to strip it to fix the 99

does anyone know if I can take the remote central locking out of one car and fit it to another?

it took longer to get the loom out than to remove the dash it was like the krypton factor

well got a hand of my mate dash is removed and dash loom is out the blue car.
the red car will be getting hit tomorrow

so far today we were at it around 2 and a half hours so pretty chuffed at the progress.

lets see how long it takes us to get it back together though..

Ive had one mate saying just swap the turbo over and get the red one on the road b...
