Cheers for the reply but there wasn't any torx bits. In the end it had seperated at the connector in the engine bay. I removed the arch liner, which gave me just enough room to un-clip the indicator and from there I could just about see a bit of cable and pull it out the indicator hole and pull it t...

Hi,

My bonnet catch wont pop the bonnet, it feels like the cable has snapped/come detatched, its fine the handle end. I took the grill off earlier but all I got was a radiator looking at me! Anyone had this before or have any clues about how I can get into it?

I had my B5 mapped by R-tech and its probably one of the best things I've done to any car ever! Its smoother, and more progressive no, much more driveable and my fuel economy has gone up by an average of 5mpg, I'm chuffed to bits with it!

Dangerous - I hope you were touching wood while typing this!! :roll: Gaz whats dangerous? not going and getting one then and there? picked up one this morning, they have about 30 different keys, they let me take the one that fitted and i can get the new one they ordered once its in, £13. not too b...

bit late for this now but i just bought a B5 and there is no locking wheel key. phoned VW and they keep a master set of keys (seems they only did a handfull of different sizes/types) and they said they could find the right one, sell me the key and they'd order another one for their master set. haven...

i have a little list coming together for stuff to do to my B5 and a de-badged grill is one of the items.... just wondered what brand people have as i don't want to ebd up with something cheap and bad fitting. also not so keen on the smooth shiney plastic ones, would rather a textured OEM style grill...

hi there! i'm new to the cheap ass estate world too and i agree its cool having a car you don't worry about so much. i also am planning on sleeping in it at bugjam if the weather gets too poo!

shocking about the bolf though

yeah they look awesome! the audi rocks on those rims!

i like it, it looks like when they disguise prototype cars! i want one for my golf as its had the front end all smoothed off and for going up the country for shows it gets peppered with bugs/stone chips.

well i had a play with it today... the motors are fine when i ran them straight off a live. i get various lives at the control box but i'm not sure whats meant to be or not?! i couldn't trip the switches as they are on some funny circuit thing at the front and the rears/passenger have 5 wires coming...

well its not much and as i've said in another thread this is a daily and a workhorse so its getting modded on what i can get cheap!! the day i got it: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v689/raaage/DSC00078.jpg stuck some horrible team dynamic 16"s because they were free and had very good tyres ...

hi, thanks for the welcomes... club discount on re-trims? i'm sure i could do a good price for you

yep i have a second hand control unit, which also didn't work? i dread to think what a new one costs from vw?!

no idea mate... check wiring diagrams... lol didn't notice anyone taking any pic tbh!! bumpers are far from finished, just i killted my sander :( she does draw a bit of attention to herself though :lol: well you gave me a thumbs up?! :D i don't have a haynes for this thing yet which is why i wonder...

cool, any idea which relay

i took a few pics of your passat as you moved it at santa pod the other day, looks crazy in the flesh!

hi, bought a b3 passat gt estate about a month ago and so far its been pretty good fun. the more i work on it though the more i can tell its had a hard life with very little maintenance done! at the moment its pretty standard but i'm developing a soft spot for this ugly old barge! future plans are c...

hi, recently bought a b3 passat gt estate and its pretty good fun! when i got it the rear electric windows didn't work. if you pressed either the front set of switches or the ones for the rear, you could hear the relays clicking in that control, box under the seat. then last week i drove home and th...
