UKPassats

Who was it, must be on here surely? Saturday about 8:30pm Driving away from thetford

Seen close to Castle Street. Absolutely slammed.

Anybody on here?. Private plate as well ending DUB

Havent seen the car but I used to live in a village next door called Tolleshunt Major - Didn't think anybody else in the world had ever heard of it. Middle of nowhere tbh.

Cleaned the Engine Yesterday

There are those that highly recommend the DS2500 Ferodo Pads, never had the discs or pads myself but the make is generally well spoken of

Pity they cannot put the power on the road properly with the McPherson front struts and live rear axle ! The golf platform is so dated in terms of handling and needs serious money spent on to get it to feel properly. Don't get me wrong, they are fine to 80 Mph but the ride feels funny after that. A...

Well, Turbo scotty had the Passat and just thought I'd update this thread with what has replaced it now. Let the pictures commence, some will hate, some might love, but I likee very much 1.8T 180bhp 64k Miles Came with Full MOT and Tax FSH cost me £2600 http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg530/OCU...

glad to see progress on the car already, looking good mate - missing it already


All the best

I would say something is wrong, my remapped pd 115 with bigger turbo and injectors used to get 45mpg around town - something definately wrong - do you have any boost leaks / faulty MAF or N75?

ouch - you could get better fuel economy from an evo

Just wondering what you guys get to every £20 you put in,

please also write whether you like to drive economically or not and what engine you have in your B5


Cheers guys

Recently my oil warning light has decided to come intermittently on and off when I'm driving, it will come on for about 2 seconds then flash off again. I took the car out and it did it twice on one short journey so I'm guessing it means duff sensor or pump (obviously I have checked the actual oil le...

Oh Ok thanks for the replies guys, adamss24 thanks for the offer was just looking for a list of bits as would like to do the job myself really, was just wondering which bits Ill need and where to get them from

Not now, this was a few months time ago, happy to have a look for any (unless it means taking off the gearbox again)

Do you mean supply the kit or fit it for me?

Alright guys what are the better makes of cambelt kit and waterpump to go for and what other bits might I need that I haven't expected.

Would prefer to buy the bits all from one place or is VW just the best bet?

In the How To's my friend

From factory, only the passat with the v6 engine and 5 speed gearbox had a 240mm clutch, if your's a PD engine it should have a 228mm clutch unless it's been converted to a SM Flywheel and 240mm clutch... No conversion done, for some reason when we have the gearbox out of my car it had the 240mm cl...

You need a few bits to swap round: clutch, DMF, linkage, gearbox mounts + new a/c lines (you can bend them if you feel brave !), starter,etc. As pointed, i would'nt bother with the passat 6 speed box as it's quite un-reliable (unless is from a v6 passat/audi a4/a6) but it would give you the oportun...

Get some big piccies up and ill see what I can do.

The bigger the better

Ok thanks for the advice - Ill probably leave it or use just hot water but not boiling to soften it and dental floss or something like that
