Re: Name for part needed
Definitely not needed now after I`ve had a gander at the price.Anywhere between £70 and £100 online. I ramped my car up yesterday to change the oil and noticed that thing was soaked in oil which seems to be coming from the sump bung.If it hadn`t been there,oil would have been all over my drive.Hopef...

Name for part needed
I need to replace this item as its falling off and clogged with poo.
It`s not the plastic under-tray but the bit that covers the sump.It seems to be made of a similar material as the interior carpets of my Passat.I`ve searched on fleebay but can`t find it anywhere.
What`s the actual name of it?

My 05 Highline saloon is going to need a few $spent soon.
Shocks

I've seen a 2008 A4 1.9 tdi estate with 128k miles and full Audi history to 80k for £1600.
Would you buy or repair?

Re: Would you repair or get rid?
Thanks for the replies lads. I'm in Derry,NI btw.
I really want to keep the car.Should I replace all the arms or just the bushings and boots? I'm going to get a guestimate for everything it needs.

Re: Never own another passat
I`ve been fairly lucky with mine.2005 Highline AWX.170k miles.Failed MOT once because the bonnet wouldn`t close properly.Had it nearly 3 years and haven`t replaced clutch,flywheel or front suspension ..yet.
Don`t reckon I want to spend £1k on it but I don`t know what else to buy.

Re: Quick pollen filter sealing question.
Thanks.I`m currently sealing all of my doors and drying carpets as that`s where my water was coming in.Passenger carpet and ccm are bone dry thankfully.I`ll get my mechanic mate to take out the pollen filter housing as I know for a fact,I`ll bust the windscreen.

Quick pollen filter sealing question.
Instead of taking out the pollen filter housing which involves removing wipers etc,can the tray be sealed in situ with a good mastic type sealant?What I mean is,just seal right around the sponge joint with the pollen filter removed?

Re: A/C troubleshooter.
Had the bumper off, 2 ends of the lines detached and couldn't get near the other ends without taking the condenser off so I connected everything back up, stuck the bumper on and I'll just keep the windows down.

Right,took it to a local specialist and he said that the a/c line has been rubbing,causing a hole in it.He said if I replaced it,he`d then fill it and test it.I`ve had a quick look and can see the line that needs changing but was wondering if it`s easier to take off the front bumper or can it be acc...
