Had a good look round but to no avail... Can the master cylinder cause problems like this.

Back again with more problems lol When I start the car after its been sitting a while or first thing the morning, I have no boost, I have to hold in the throttle to about 1100 rpm before the gauge will start to read any boost at all... then the it'll sit around 2-3 psi. if I take off with out revvin...

so is 170 the limit on the standard clutch? Seriously considering this now after being in a friends which was 145

I thought in the B5 it was in the boot behind the fabric.... I did start to doubt what I had wrote though when I looked at that bracket and the length of wire.

If its a B5 then the alarm is in the boot... I recently fixed my alarm sounder but the cable for it didn't come from that direction in your picture...

Sorry to hear about your other things though, just shows you have to be careful who you trust.

Curiosity has got to me, in my search for my boost leak... This is the oil cooler pipe which comes out of what I think is the air intake... I noticed that the top pipe has a jubilee clip on it and the bottom part seems to be held on by nothing other than friction it's self. Can someone check on thei...

anybody any idea's?

Okay so recently fitted an EGR delete and Boost gauge and everything was brilliant, apart from while distracted by my new gauge. A few days ago I heard a hiss, and paid no attention too it as turbo car usually make a noise like that anyway... THEN I was heading to the shop to get milk when I started...

Mine do it, but at first I never noticed then after spending a bit of time adjust I was think that something was up... tbh its actually a really good idea for the likes of reversing or watching kerbs or being blinded by headlights from behind... or so i think lol

I can't remember where my constant 12v is wired too but I wired the switched 12 which I joined together to the light circuit so that it came on when the dash lights came on. The earth is attached to the frame that holds the fuses. I think i've a few pics so I'll put them up :-bd Also just looked tha...

this sites sponsored by a company that does them... Gas works. good reviews to.

Sorry for hi-jacking but my 130 sport jumps to 25 PSI then goes down to about 19-20 PSI I have Vag com myself like and it has never said I'm under boosting or over boosting etc... The live data may help you to see what's doing what as there loads of graphs to look at. Mind you I'm probably telling a...

I did a write up about it not so long ago... should explain everything for you (I hope lol)

I kind of know the guy PJ McLaughlin he was sorting out how to fix my passat gear box.... was speaking to him on like the wednesday... Didn't know him on a personal level just though his Da's breakers.... This has hit the town soo bad as there all local lads who are known by many in the town.

Theres a black jetta near me which had the 4 wheels a different fluorescent colour to help him decide, i think they were a lime green for a while then changed them to a pinky purple, look really nice and different ;)

Thanks guys, well i've to wait to Tuesday, maybe even wednesday for the part to come so i've a bit of time on my hands lol. Is there anything else that gets clogged up that I can take off an clean lol

thanks again, Breandan

In light of recent screw ups I've the chance to take the manifold off, as I'm replacing the EGR valve. Got a look inside the pipe to find this :shock: http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu139/brendogg_od/IMG_8549.jpg Its about 5mm thick an its rock hard... I was expecting sludge similar to what I fo...

Well finally got round to fitting the EGR delete and I was about to attach it to the manifold AND.......... It doesn't fit. I'm apsolutly gutted tried every position possible (wayyy). and then sized it up against the EGR valve. its about 10mm too small and about 15mm on another. I've rung Allard on ...

Good set of lock nuts on the wheels and the car won't start I believe without a chipped key... I've a spare key which starts the car for like 2 seconds then it says "IMMOBILISER ACTIVATED" an the car turns off. I think Passat's have shock sensors not 100% like I know they've got the pressu...

ASP is all have, only controls traction an sometimes helps when you slide out but nothing as noticeable as ESP

I think there's a slight difference in 2nd sometimes 3rd but I think its just because the power isn't been taken away because of a slight spin.

The dash mount came this morning so I ripped it open an was like... how does this go on then logic kicked in an its rests nicely on top of the column... Out of curiosity is anyone else's steering shaft got like surface rust on it? (pics to follow) But here it is, not wired up yet, that's tomorrows j...

thats really cool there man. I take it the air still comes out of the vent? Tidy job too ;)
