Did a trip to chester zoo from Derbyshire last week (71 miles each way), A roads all the way, got 58 MPG going & 53 MPG on the return journey. I was being very gentle with the right pedal !!! P.S. I have allways found the fuel computer very accurate when compared with the brim to brim method of ...

This happened to mine a few weeks ago........ turned out to be a broken corroded wire in the loom about 6 inches along from the CCM. They would not flash when unlocked, but flash when locked. I deliberatly set the alarm off & indicators didnt flash ! The corosion was caused by a leaking pollen f...

Ok, just took mine off so i can post a part No...... The sunglass holder consists of 2x hindge parts & 1x center peice. The main center peice does not have a visable part nunber on it (the back is covered in a cusioned foam self adeasive backing) & i'm not removing that !, one of the hindges...

I'm also tempted, its just the cluch thing that is putting me off, also do they smoke more under full acceleration when chipped, as mine smokes a bit if i've driven gently for 20-30 miles then boot it ( TDI) ?

I had this on my last passat..... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v680/grhdylan/passatgrill.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v680/grhdylan/waterside2007047.jpg Got it from ebay & was top quality, was 2 peice, grill & chrome trim, the trim was stuck on with double sided tape..... Then ...

I had mine done at motor plus (VAG specialists) in Derby. They charged me £250 , but that was about 3 or 4 years ago. There worth a try though !

I'm intrested itn the chrome one for the estate B5.5

There is no wiring there, just run a wire from any switch that is illuminated. I took mine from the back of the dashboard illumination brightness control switch.... 10 min job

I have, i just got 3 vents off a b5 passat in the scrapyard & swapped them over, then wired them up to the interior lighting circuit. easy job !

On my old 1.8 non turbo i used to get 280- 340 depending how i drove, so sounds about right !

I have the same question................i have a 03 sport model, radio at top, 6 disc CD multichanger in the middle & climatronic at bottom. On my old 98 SE passat i had climatronic at top & radio in middle with a slot /shelf at bottom. Could i swap them round so climatronic is top, radio is...

Also the undertray holds the leading edges of the wheel arch plastic in place. Without the undertray, at speeds over 70-80 MPH the air / wind pressure pushes the wheel arches into the front tyres, resulting in two oval / arch shape cut outs in your plastic wheelarches. I know, i lost my undertray &a...

Just a quick question to u guys, i have a sport model, radio at top, 6 disc CD multichanger in the middle & climatronic at bottom. On my old 98 SE passat i had climatronic at top & radio in middle with a slot /shelf at bottom. Could i swap them round so climatronic is top, radio is middle &a...

Yep, the power wire to the fuel cap release does go via the CCM. I had problems with mine & it was coroded wiring in the loom just outside the CCM. Good Luck

What year is it ? Early "S" (97-98)models did'nt have computer or remote central locking or rear electric windows but VW introduced these to the "S" models around 1999/2000. Also "S" dont have drivers center arm rest.

What is the colour code ? I have a "grey passat" but the colour is actualy " blue anthracite pearl".
In some lights it looks a bit blue, sometimes it looks blue / green but mostly it looks grey ! Wierd ! lol

Can a stand alone fault reader reset the air bag light ? If it can, then these can be purchased from ebay for around £15-20 . but as i say, i'm not sure if these things will reset a airbag light ..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/U280-OBD-2-SCANNER-CODE-READER-for-VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA_W0QQitemZ330258134730Q...

Just checked my spare, i've got the same 16" steelie on my sport...... i thought i had a alloy as a spare........ VW costcutting !
