Took out the back pads, swapped em over and no more clackerty clack.

Cheers for the help.

Bit of a thread revival but i also replaced discs and pads on the front, greased the sliders and so far so good. No noise for over a week now

I'm I've got 5w30 in there at the minute which I know isn't quite right but it's less than two weeks old so it's better than old stuff! I'm gna try the lifters first and see what happens! Front discs and pads are on the agenda tho! One day this thing will be like "new" to drive! That's the...

I wish the issue I had was oil grade lol!

Ive got one on order for tomorrow from GSF for approx £160 inc VAT. Well, thats for the Camshaft and Lifters x 8.

Ive been told to check the clearances on the injectors to see if that makes a differemce first though.

Hi All, Collected my three Gates belts from the local motor factors at the weekend but i`m now looking for a camshaft and lifter kit to get rid of my lovely tapping top end. ~x( Who does them, does anyone know of any reputable stockists that may have them? I`m also wondering whether its worth upgrad...

I've looked at the x311 which seems to be a steal at £159! So many different version tho! Not sure if I'll miss the cd function tho...!?

Sorry that should be IDA

Hi all, Does anyone have an XDA 305s or similar? I am thinking I picking one up 2nd hand for the Passat but was wondering how people got on without the CD function? I'm not sure whether to buy a regular CD unit with USB function!! I love the look of the XDA though!! Anyone had any experiances? Cheers

I'm guessing that is what has happened!

Their website seems to be down at the moment.

If you google RTTH vVWthe second result is for Dubliminal VW Club. There is a link on there.

selling 10 sets of top end £1000 coilovers to the remaining die hard modders could be better for them than 40 sets of £150 budget ones to every Tom, dick, or harry who wants cheap lows. :) Sent from my Nokia Lumia using Board Express The problem will then be that the 10 "die hard modders&quo...

On the contrary, a very good (mechanic) friend of mine fitted this filter 12 months ago. I did ask the question about whether it was tightened by hand :)] ......I wont give you his full response but "yes" is the shortened version X( :hyst Ive always been told that the "chain" typ...

I cant find them online? www.asthandtools.co.uk yeah?

Local to me too

Absolute B#$%a&* this was earlier. Ive got the cuts to prove it too X( ~x( http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t194/Alzy_van/B5F2443B-70CD-4622-B2EA-A1493E614740-555-000000D52770EFA9.jpg Anyhoo, what oil filter wrenches are out there?

Who's off to RTTH this weekend then? I'm quite looking forward to it as I've never been before! As always I will be keeping my eyes peeled for the odd Passat!!

As said above, this would cost the modified vehicle industry billions in lost sales and companies that specialise in modifying would be going under overnight! Not good for an already weak and unstable economy!

I expect there to be changes to the MOT system but nothing of this enormity!

I have read a couple of posts on here lately and I really am struggling to understand a lot of the replies! Is it just me?

Thanks for the responses

*Thread revive*

Can this be used on earlier Passats too?

Thanks
