So why post on the B1 / B2 section then.......................

As you add nothing constructive...................and obviously don't like B1 / B2 Passats........................yes

[quote="Gazwould"]Sorry I'm a realist who has owned true classic cars and driven many more.
One was stolen to order never to be seen again.

I just struggle to see the mk 2 attraction .





In that case, why bother posting on this forum?

As you obviously aren't that keen on classic Passats.......why are you here?

a B2 5 door fast back need a bit of roof panel, as it would make getting rid of my sun roof a lot easier..............

Plans include air struts on the back, tidying up the paintwork, possibly colour coding the black trim and bumpers [to white] possibly changing the interior.

Not thought of that. What would I need to track down? Also, can anyone confirm whether a VW Quantum estate from the states is the same as our B2 Passat estate? They look the same apart from headlight changes. Quite a few of the hot rod boys have done it. Google electric pas conversions, which shoul...

Solved...........had been wired up as manual choke warning light after conversion......

B2 Passat with Golf type engine..........I have a flashing warning light on the dash, and I can find nothing in the hand book as to what it is!, On the 8 lights grouped in the middle of the instrument cluster, it's a red flashing one on the bottom row, one from the right [the one below the oil light...

have you considered electric pas system off a scrapper [loads of modern stuff have them fitted]. There are ways to dodge the ECU complications as well

This still for sale?

Having aquired Ian's rather spiffing blown '99 4motion, I'm going to have to do something about the rear ride height. I like the stance, there's several places where I get clearance problems. I have [left over from an old Yank lowrided project] a resevoir tank . pump, lines and controls. Does anyone...

The alternator on my supercharged V6 4 motion has failed. Looks like I'm going to have to remove pretty much all of the front of the car to gain access. Any hints or tips?

Do you have a link?

Replacing VAG suspension parts is peanuts compared to bloody Honda parts. I'd get the tallest profile tyres [part worns for economy] that you find and fit them to your steelies, which should give a bit more protection against pot holes.

Not the greatest of engines, not that quick, pretty thirsty, and doing the cambelt is not a five minute job, and at that mileage they're due. Auto gearbox is made out of chocolate. Don't handle that well, due to the V6 weighing about as much as the moon. Find a 1.8 t, far better bet. If you've got Â...

all just depends on the car, each car is individual other than faults at the productions line (plenum chamber issue etc). not every car will have all the same problems during its life, all depends on how its been looked after, or not looked after. there are people that havnt had problems like this ...

No pics, unfortunately. Ref sawing...I couldn't agree more, I used a combination of an angle grinder and a an air saw.

Just done this, thought a "how to" post may be of use. You will struggle without a ramp! 1] Pref 24 hours in advance, give the down pipe bolts a good soaking in Plusgas or similar. Remove drivers side front wheel for better access 2] There's a heat shield just above the d/s drive shaft. Th...

Having a prod round the exhaust on a convenient ramp recently, [98 Passat 1.8t estate]I noticed my exhaust was looking a bit ropey, After a bit of shopping around, bought a Milltek stainless steel system for about the same as a stndard pattern one [complete from manifold back] old system was complet...

It does indeed, just seems to be odd that it's failed virually overnight, with no apparent warning.
