UKPassats

I Also got one from hk-plus , but i was happy with the quality of the oem chinese grill. I took off my origional black grill & replaced it with the chrome one & did'nt notice any diffrence in quality. Purchased mine about 18 months ago. Maybe they are worse now ? Here's a pic , Dark & in...

Same here, looks nothing like my 1.8 non turbo 98 passat. It is where my throtle body is located ?????
What year is your passat & what is the engine code ..... mine is ADR ??

It sounds to me that the fuse serving the CCM (comfort control module) may have blown ?

Glad to help a fellow member........ remember to check those drain plugs under the battery every autumn after the leaves have dropped & it should keep your carpets dry !! lol

Take a look here, this is what i had to do to mine....

Check the CCM wiring. I could have been wet for many months b4 you purchased the car, if so the wiring could be very coroded and broken. This happened on mine !
Good luck !

I'm running Audi A4 16" rims & i get between 330 - 400 for a tankfull or between 34-38 mpg.
Hope this helps !

I will take a look at mine tomorrow for you, mine are the vestertec fog lights.



I'll try & find a close up pic later !

Just come back from hols in my 1.8 non turbo, did 182 miles, got an average of 35.5 MPG, traveling as around 75-85 MPH with the air com on all the time .

I might be intrested...... Just done an oil change & noticed mine has developed a big crack near the rear center screw / fixing. Count me in if the cost is reasonable !

The interior looks very nice, spot on , but i bet those cream seats are a oh fiddlesticks! to keep clean !

no, had 2 top arms & 1 bottom on passenger side, 1 bottom on drivers side. garage said the other arms were ok .

I had a knocking noise coming from the front passenger side, Turned out that both sides needed replaceing, but passenger side was worst so i had both sides top & bottom supenstion arms replaced . 2x top arms £63 2x bottom arms £93 labor £128 total inc VAT £334 ....... OUCH ! The steering doe...

I supect the that the only thing that will be worn , will be the clutch ! lol

The insurance on my Non - Turbo 1.8 is £ 295 ( full no claims, protected, for me & the mrs). A 1.8 turbo was quoted for me at £ 405.

A re-map will only get you another 8-12 bhp for about £250.... not good value, you could try a k & n air filter, might get an extra 2-3 bhp or a uprated exaust system 5-10 bhp.... £250-£350 ish. I've got this engine & looked into this many times & keep comming up with the same conclus...

Ok, it's under the passenger side carpet, just in front of the front seat.....First remove the kick pannel ( at side of where passengers feet go) prise off round cover & there's a screw behind. Then prise off the plastic sill trim.....just pull upwards & into car. When this is removed you sh...

I can recomend The Derv Doctor. He's not done any work on my motor, but has done some work (chip & dump valve ) on a friends car & it was a top job ( a big performance gain)

I think they are made in Germany, i have got a website that sells them but they say they only ship to Germany. Try emailing them and hope they will ship to you or you could find someone in germany to forward them on to you ? http://www.vmaxx.de/en/public/?fz=25&cat=2&img=vt00196.jpg&PHPS...
