another common fault is the wiring plugs behind the passeneger front kick plate. I think it is the grey plug which runs to the bonnet switch. if you get water corrosion in this it can cause false alarms.

A diagnostic scan should be able to tell you the last 5 alarm triggers to narrow it down.

Has anyone got any information about Volkswagen individual radios? I saw one fitted to a 55 plate polo dune, looked like a becker unit and sounded a lot nicer yhan the standard gamma.

Were they a retro fit option on passats/golf 4 ?

have a look behind the kickplate at the front passenger side. There are several multi plugs there and if there is any water ingress the plugs are prone to corrosion. I think the grey plug relates to the bonnets switch circuit.

how easy is the carbon on curved stuff? i fancy doing my laptop lid but im not sure how it would turn out. Do you heat and stretch it? Any pointers appreciated.

I have just purchased a 1.9 tdi b5.5 wagon. It is only a 100bhp version and could do with a little extra oomph. I have been looking at tuning boxes on ebay and a few tuning companies but the prices go from £30 to £300. Dont want to spend a huge amount but want it to actually do something.

what is ...

Thanks for the info, great guide and parts numbers too!! will get on it asap.

Does anyone know if you can retro fit isofix brackets to a B5.5 estate? I know you can with mercs but not sure about VW. Thought I would ask around here first.
