UKPassats

Ive got a motorfactors nearby,so they should be able to get hold of one,providing that is the problem. I assume the bearing sits inside the bush does it? Or is it separate?

Thats brilliant mate thanks for that,i will try tomorrow and see if that is what the problem is,then find somewhere where i can get a bush from.
Cheers for your advice.

Ok cheers for that,now where is the mount located and which part should i be looking for,will i be able to see it in sittu. Dont know much about these cars really.
Cheers

Can anyone help with the above question??

Morning fellow passat owners,ive got a strange noise coming from what appears to be o/s/f. Its a sort of clunking/knocking sound(hard to explain)and can be felt slightly through the steering. Ive had all the suspension arms checked but its still there. Its more noticable when pulling away and on bum...

Ok thanks mate,i will try and see if i can get some,then read the instructions carefully.

Hi all,not sure if this question has been asked,but i couldnt find it. I have factory fitted xenons in mine,the side lights and main beam are the filiment type and the dipped have proper gas discharge bulbs.Not bothered about the sidelights and main beam as ive already replaced them. My question is,...

Well done mate,well deserved looks pukka. Very classy!!!

Hi all,been browsing through detailing world and came across this stuff called g-techniq c4,its a plastic trim restorer. Or google g-technic. There seems to be high praise about this stuff and claims to last a long time. Lots of beading and dries really quick and seems easy to use. Although pricey,i...

Quick update two wheels are now done,well just about.Need to do one of the centre badges but ive ran out of paint.Hope you can see them.

Nice looking motor mate and i do like the S4's,think they will look pukka on your car. Im doing a diy re-furb on my alloys they aren't mint but they do look quite good. There are so many different shades of paint out there,how about an athracite colour,thats what ive gone for in my build thread. Its...

Im liking this one,its coming along nicely mate. I do like those mats you've got as well,might have to get a set for mine.

I like this build thread mate,some nice ideas going on here. Your car does look well with the S4's on.
It gives me some inspriation to try and make mine a little different.

Nice motor you have there mate,coming along nicely,with some nice stylish mods.
Been looking at this thread so i thought i better say something.
Nice!!!!!!!!

Cheers mate,the pic is a touch dark,they are mirror polished faces which took me ages to do and anthracite inserts(a dark anthracite)cant remember what the exact colour is. I did the inserts with rattle cans,i still need to flat them off slightly then polish them up. Two alloys are almost finished,t...

Although mines a petrol,mine used to be a bit juddery when pulling away. My coolent temp sensor was faulty(which is at the back of the engine on mine)replaced it and it solved the problem.
Hope that helps,someone else might be able to shed some light on it.

Just an update,pic quality isnt brilliant but these im in the middle of re-furbing,i qutie like them,but not to everyones taste.
First time ive used photobucket so not sure whether it will come out right.

Evening all,what sort of prices should i be expecting to pay for a new turbo,inc fitting kit.
Ive had a look on the net,but most seem to want you to ring up for the price.
Can anyone help with this?
Cheers

I did my xenons a while back but they didnt come out that brilliant to be honest,but having read this post ,it gave me some inspiration to do mine again. I re-did them and they came out fantastic almost as good as yours!! Considering mine is an 11 yr old they look almost new. I can see even better n...

Yep thats a fair point.It doesn't spray water/liquid but it does suck.

Hi all,whats the best method/products for cleaning seats. Ive have the black/grey cloth sports seats and they are a little grubby after years of use. I need to bring them back up to clean looking. I have a wet and dry vax but the wet bit dont work.Ive tried several upholstery cleaners but they dont ...

Ok thanks for your answers,at least it sounds acheivable,just got to try and arrange when to do it now.
Cheers

Hi,can anyone help about the above question.
I have found one thats a reasonable price(includes gaskets etc)just in case mine is beyond repair.
Cheers

Afternoon all,how easy is it to remove the turbo(1.8t),im handyish with the spanners,but no expert.What sort of time frame is realistic. My actuator rod/wastegate is loose but obviously the turbo needs to come off so that i can see what is going on. Its been like this for a few a couple years now so...

Mines a stocky apart from a panel filter.
Around town its 24 to 28.
Motorway its up around 38 39.
But then my turbo is still not behaving as it should,which is why the above figures are as they are.
