Re: Small Tech Q - How to Remove Licence Plate Holder?

Your rec - damm it! Never saw that on fleabay.

Anyway, will put one of screws and try to pull out that way. Must be from years of dirt and grime that they are 'stuck in'.

Next, I will start hunting for LED side lights...any recs?

thanks

Re: 6 speed gearbox rebuild ?

I have not dealt with them but when I was looking up info on how much gearbox oil to use in my 5-speed box, I came across this.

http://www.volks-apart.com/page.php?page=Gearboxes

They seem to know their onions when it comes to VW gearboxs.

At the very least, worth giving them a buzz.

Re: Howto - lighted door handles

Guys,

I have a Passat 'S' which has the manual windows in the rear.

Where should I connect the LEDs to if I wish to wire up the rear doors also?

Re: My Car's Been Clocked – Be Warned!

Sorry to hear mate. A heads-up is that on the gov MOT website, you can look up the MOTs yourself and verify that the cert you have is indeed 'legit'. They also list the adviseries so that you can further ask if the owner at the time, did the recommended work. If so, this gives good indication on the...

LED Number Plate

Anyone with any experience of putting LED bulbs or fittings for the rear number plate?

They vary from £10 for the bulb to £35 for the full fixtures and fittings.

They all say Canbus ready etc...

Just wondering which ones have worked for people and which ones have not.

thanks

Replacement Key - official or unofficial

Hi

I need an extra remote as my 1.9tdi only came with 1 remote.

From your experience better just to go dealer route or any good non- authorised sources?

Bty, i'm based near Preston.

Thanks

Re: Fuse box diagrams?

Sorted! Had to work through LHD/RHD fuse diagram and 'mirrored' fuse locatiuons. It was SC38 in RHD (driver's) fuse box. I just got this car and the previous owner told me he had not pulled out the blown fuse whereas he had in fact pulled it out which threw me. Just small oversight on his part which...

No luck with tracking down the faulty fuse as all seems to be fine. Any other suggestions? Bty, I went to VW garage and...
