I'm running 15x7's (et52's) on 20mm adapters (and 195/50's) on my B4 and they sit well I think http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/craig1010cc/passat/CRIM0071.jpg http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/craig1010cc/passat/CRIM0068.jpg but I think that you'd struggle with Et 23's on 30mm's with out...

I ran my 1st B4 on 205/40/17 falkens and it drove very well on them. Did have standard suspension so don't know what it'd be like on coilies, but if the 15" Porker's hadn't come up at a good price, I would have got some 17's for my current one without hesitation.

fixed with hot water from the kettle But have also then drowned the latch and the handle mech with WD40 to stop it refreezing

Morning all

Went out to drive my B4 to work this morning. Got into it fine, but the drivers door wont latch shut now!!!!

Any ideas? Tried some WD40 in it but that didn't seem to make any difference.

Cheers

If you are after a 98-2001 model, thats a B5 you'll be looking at then

I have a bit of history with satin/mat paints One of my minis (rattle canned) http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/craig1010cc/pootle-2.jpg Then got bored so added some red metal flake (rattled again :P) http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a314/craig1010cc/coombe%202008/pootlecombe05.jpg Then had my...

is it the AAZ or 1z??

not sure (not clued up on these lumps yet ) but it comes up as a 90bhp TDi 1z according to eurocar parts reg thingy.

What are the differences/ advantages of each type (not that it makes much odds as it's what i've got )

very true

Have to admit that it doesn't go to bad for a big old thing and am more than happy with 52 MPG

have been thinking about 'alternative' fuels for it

really, which spec of van are those from? Not looking at spending much on it at the mo, just pondering on the options

Morning all, is it worth getting a EGR bypass on a TDi and what are the best ways to get a bit more omph from them?

Cheers

That is a corking shot, but all it does is confirm that I need to get on the ramp at A52 and get the rears sorted on mine

My TDi Loon needs to go lower, but need to change the rears over to the coilies I have in the garage (has Wietec springs on the rear at the mo)

The 16's would have been nice, but these where at too good a price to refuse

Hmm, does sound like getting it in and out will be interesting A job for next spring I think (will talk nicely to the chap that does the interiors for my mini ;) )

Well, done nearly 2k in it already and have to say that I am loving it (espec the 52 MPG i'm averaging at the mo :) ) quick question for you all, how do you remove the headlinging as it is starting to drop at the front. The orange is growing on me, was considering the other day getting the roof to m...

Thinking that the rims will stay orange for a bit until I get bored of them, then will prob paint them black or find some D90's instead

Thought is was about time I stuck some pic's up :P Took this fine beasty in as a PX on my MX5 from Bluie on here as needed a car for daily duties that was a bit kinder to the pocket :P And as i'd had a B4 in the past (1.8SPi Cl) and enjoyed it, a TDi one seemed to make perfect sense :P even more so ...

lots of good parts or could it be saved?

seeing the scrap thread in the general section, thought this could be of use to someone http://www.vwaudibreakers.co.uk/breaking-dynamic/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://www.audivwparts.co.uk/www.audivwparts.co.uk/info.php?p=7&pno=0&pid=613654&cat...

What year of mini bud and what you after?

Anything pre BMW (propper minis )

On a side note, can you keep an eye out if they have any minis in at the mo

Cool, it is a proper decent scrappy with a reclomation yard attached to it as well (if you are in the market for house stuff) and used to have a barn selling cheap tools as well. Must make the effort to go in there at some point, just for anose if nothing else :) Clarages in cartertoon used to be Ok...

Its a bit far from you steve, but Haynes of East Challow (near Wantage) is a proper old school scrappy. Always used to keep the cars single stack and priced well. Not been for about 7 years though

what are the thoughts on these (I like a bit of camber )

It has indeed chap, it now resides with Bluey. I think a test fit some point soon may have to happen, might see if Si and Tim are free after work one night this week :P I did see advertised camber plates for passats, do they exist for B4's? and is it possible to adjust the camber on the front like m...
