Re: Bidet.

Back screen smeary this weather and unable to clear. The wiper stalk suggests I have wash wipe with the appropriate symbol but fuse card is saying just wipe :( . However I can hear a pump going and found some washer fluid on bottom of tailgate and top of the bumper so it must have a bidet, albeit wi...

Re: B5.5 what headlight bulbs ?

1 headlight has wobble so probably best to take out anyway.

Can see the 501 (capless) ? sidelight near the H7, so probably can change to a 955.

Whats the light next to it, and bulb ?


What type are the indicators ?

B5.5 what headlight bulbs ?

Found them to be a poor effort.

Wouldnt go the HID route. I can see H7s but thats it. Whilst Im there Ill upgrade what ever I can with xenons.

Easy to do, bumper off ? What code numbers are the side, main and inicators ?

Indicators could do in a chrome flashing orange bulb ?

Re: should i get my 1.9tdi 130bhp remaped

As above, normal figures would be 163 and 390nm, the clutch saving version is a raised 175 bhp and reduced torque of 375nm. My clutch had slip before but hasnt suffered since. A good remap will smooth out in particular the torque curve, the stock curve has a torque spike just after 2k which I think ...

Re: I think I've damaged my engine

I would never use any form of engine flush they can dislodge build up and cause blockage in galley ways then oil starvation.

To flush just refill with a cheaper oil and use it for a week, drain and get the good stuff in, replacing the filter both times too.

Re: Anyone else a diesel convert?

My have they come on, my 1st experience was a 2.3 Derv Ford Sierra that you had to floor everywhere just to make gentle acceleration.

The 1st peppy diesel I drove was a 306.

Now with BMW and Audi 6cyl 3.0 Tdi were talkin great bhp, massive torque and excellent mpg ^:)^ :ymapplause:

Re: REMAP

As Adam said, i would be a bit conservative and say it will be 165 Bhp max. If they make it higher then it will have a torque spike which will make your clutch slip so most decent maps are capped at about 165Bhp and they are much smoother. Jabba and AMD were famous back in the day with very high cl...

Re: Newbie, B5.5 1.9 tdi 130 6 gears Sport estate

Pics at some point. 160k, it's done 22k in the last year. Glad to hear a standard 240mm DMF/clutch replacement will hold remappage. Which make, Sachs or LUK etc ? Remap to a conservative 165 or all out to 180bhp ? I don't see the point of going higher as traction will not exist ;) What makes or comb...

Newbie, B5.5 1.9 tdi 130 6 gears Sport estate

Picked up at the weekend, it has the slightly higher torque AVF engine, and FRK 6 speed gearbox/ 240 mm clutch. Having a look 'round here Im shocked to see its only the Sports that have the AVF and 6 speed FRK box. I presumed that late 2002 onwards all 130s inc Highline would have this combo. Unique...
