Assorted vag on slots, closest I could find, not a popular choice :/ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/badasslilgolf/DSC01196.jpg http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee248/mav90g60/Passat/DSCN0877.jpg http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac213/jwill187/IMG_0007-2.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/al...

^ Yes, put on a new coil and it starts and runs. I'm going to pick up some more today and compare the resistances on them to confirm it is definitely killing them. All the replacements were new (got three returned luckily, assuming it be a dodgy batch), the most recent was a different brand. It has ...

Pin are clean and look ok, and wiring dissapears straight up along the loom along the bulkhead will pull it all out later and check.

This one only has a knock sensor on the block, no cps from what I can see (changed the oil recently and looked).
Crank sensor would cause the coil to fail?

coil2.jpg At my wits end with this car now. For the past 8 months it has died on me, same problem each time, the coil pack gives up. Replace the coil pack and its fine again. ONe lasted a week the next a couple of months. I think I have put 4 on it now. Today I started it up it ran for about 20 sec...

Ok, not these ones, its the larger diameter ones, 13 quid for the pair, sorted.

Yeah, I took them off when i put the coilies on and promptly lost them *rolls eyes*

typically there obsolete now hurrah! Is there a rubber buffer or just the metal disc? i think its 357412341, same as mk3 golf?

took off the ropey old coilovers of my wagon today, to replace with shocks and springs. i can't get the front springs to sit right in the top mounts, they keeping popping of the metal cup into the rubber?! i am a nob. somewhere in the midst of time I have lost the front top spring mounts, anyone got...

Okey dokey

Ah, I see. The problem I had was the smaller nut will turn a small amount but the metal hose is turning along with it. which is why i called it a day earlier, I could see me snapping the thing completely!

Cheers for the help so far though! First vw I have had with power steering lol

gah It's just seeping from union, but I couldn't get it off. only half a turn on the big nut with movement on the small one.

I'll probably run it up the garage before i snap the metal pipe and completely knacker myself!

After buying all nice new shiny suspension for her, she has responded by piddling pas fluid out. yay. leak is coming from where I have marked, likely to be that metal pipe? do i need a whole new section of hose? if so a part number or where to find the bit would be great, i cant seem to find them on...

One of my rear shocks has started to leak, think they were JOM ones - blue springs.

Seems a pain to buy a whole new set but I don't see any other option :s

are hottuning /tatechnix still the way to go?

Any other ideas are welcome!!

I used h&r springs on my b2 and it drove pretty nicely on them, but bought all the other bits from the local motor factors. That was a few years ago though.

ha update, it may look the same but it didn't work, very poor blow, I think it might be a different resistance :S


I took the glovebox out. As it is directly below it and couldn't get my sausage fingers in from underneath

Any 4 stud vw wheels will be a direct fit, you can pick up a cheap set of steels with tyres fairly easily, golf ones look prettier than the passat ones. as fonzeroo said it's not a good idea to run a larger centre bore without spigot rings. The weight is taken by the centre which centres them aswell...

Found a small vacuum leak today so sorted that out, but still randomly cutting out. Going to put the coil problems down as just a dodgy unit, nothing more. It was still randomly stalling dead after 30 seconds or so, and occasionally running lumpy trying to stall. Swapped out the fuel pump relay, ECU...

Works for me Good stuff!

Whilst at the local scrappy has a mooch around, they had an L reg Audi 80 which has the same heater setup, which was handy.

Pinched the whole panel which exactly the same as the passat one, clipped it in and all it's working perfectly

Got a new ecu on the way, which will be good as a spare if nothing else. The problem this time was it had blown the 2 week old coil on me, swapped it out and it it seems ok. But today it just cut out whilst I was moving the car onto the drive, just stopped dead, no juddering or stuttering. It has do...

Gah POS just broken down on me again New coil has died but think the ECU is still causing problems.

So if anyone has an ECU, message me!! The code 037 906 022 CG please help lol

As of this morning only blows on the highest setting. I'm guessing the resister thing has packed up. Is it on the switch on down on the blower itself?

This was a GSF one.. and it lasted a year

I have replaced the other three with OEM replacements, and they are a joy to use. lol

Looking for a drivers side door handle


thankyou!

spoken to a guy on ebay breaking, but his was on a k plate, the CG coded ecu's are early asspats only!!

all sorted now woop

Thanks for all the useful help, but the reason I was getting nowhere..

... ECU has bitten the dust.


Typically I can't find one anywhere!! The code is 037 906 022 CG

You are bloody lucky mate! It's horrible to know how many people didn't get their money back. And you won't be the last to get stung either.
