Some really top class front shots on this thread of peoples cars, I've added some of my past "Sats" starting with my R36 then the CC 3.6 gt 4 motion, B5.5 tdi 4 motion and lastly my silver wagon. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/colb666/r36/P3010205.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/album...

55 plate is a B 5.5 mate and try to pick up a genuine VW dog guard if possible.It fits prefect and doesn't stop you dropping the back seat for carrying purposes either. Here is a genuine VW one which is listed on ebay just now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dog-guard-for-VW-Passat-Estate-98-05-/301579961...

Well done on picking up a prize at Dubshed laddie,makes the effort seem more worthwhile..

Well I made it along to my first VW meet in a few years and met up with some people I hadn't seen in a long long time and It was fantastic that everyone at the meet were true car enthusiasts and made me feel more than welcome with my E30 Bmw. It's restored a bit of faith in the car world for me as I...

the 5.5 was a great car built like a tank,the 6's and 7's are nowhere near the same quality

Yeh same old same old Simon, yeh I do love my E30 and I'm patiently awaiting the end of March so as to get it back out for the coming six months.

I see you eventually moved the b5.5 v6 tdi on? by god you had value from that car for sure.

The Passat uses the larger struts matey.

I haven't been on here in god knows how long but,after being across catching up with my buddy and his W8 I thought I'd have a look around on UKP. The Golf cab isn't around anymore but,has been replaced by another cab all be it from Southern Germany namely Bavaria. These are some of the last pics I h...

Good pics Ed B-) I'll add some more from Sunday. http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a221/tabhall/DC11-5/DSC_3293.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a221/tabhall/DC11-5/DSC_3297.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a221/tabhall/DC11-5/DSC_3304.jpg http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a221/tabhall/DC1...

I think you may have the Conti's with the sealing solution inside? I've seen it on B6 CC's but,TBH I have no idea what a tyre fitter would do to clean up the inside of the tyre so as they'd be able to fix a puncture....I'm pretty sure a similar issue happens when a person uses those cans of sealer t...

I may have an original B1 gearknob lying around,I'll check it out and let you know, I also have a steel wheel complete with "period" Michelin XZX tyre in very good nick

If the donor seats are from either a Syncro or 4 motion then the back of the rear seat is totally different. It neither folds or splits. It isn't a straightforward swap the covers over either as you'll have to do some handy needle work to adapt the donor cover to suit your split fold seat. Well wort...

I do have a leather top for the B5.5 centre console but,it's not black it's a very dark grey colour mate? I've pm'd you with detail.

I think I have a black leather top for a B5.5 arm rest lying around in my garage,I'll not be able to check it out until friday though mate?

I've had two B6 dsg's and I found I could "catch" the box out easily. I found the most common time to get the box caught in the wrong gear was on approach to a roundabout watching for the gap in the traffic to join the roundabout,slow down to nearly stopped and then go for the gap in the t...

I think you'll find the B6 with xenon lights is just a matter of switching them over from right to left by moving a lever on the light unit itself...read the handbook

Drop dmcessential a pm as he's got a B5.5 wagon in Silver about to be broken or if it's a saloon door your after he'll have those as well cos he's broke two saloons recently.

I have a B7 Audi avant until the end of this month then I'm back in a 5 series touring again

The guy I bought it from got it from some guy on E38 around two years ago,he bought it for his daughter who used it for a few months then it got parked up on their driveway for nearly a year until I bought it. I think I got it for a fair price and with what I've pent to bring it back to a decent sta...

You can't buy a complete kit,you'll need to buy the lights,switch and grilles from VW and the Kufatec will do you the loom for them.

If you have the original Gamma unit fitted then the in dash changer is what your looking for. If you drop dmcessential a pm message I'm sure he'll be able to help you with a dash changer and the cable to connect the changer to your head unit as he has either three or four B5.5'S breaking at the mome...

Bought this as a wee winter project last year,I knew when I bought it the brakes,steering and suspension were pretty knackered and it was filthy due to having been laid up for about a year. So here we have it as it stands just now.I have got it on the road now and I'll probably do something with the...

Nice car, the photo's look like your selling it. I don't mean to sound rude but is this not a B6 platform? No it's def a B7 mate,B6 until 2005 then the B7 comes on stream until 2008 then we got the current B8. In real terms the B7 is only an updated B6 anyway so I'd say your more right than wrong :...
