Really want the silicone ones though, as the beading they give, and clarity is superb. Like the look of the aero ones and don't have the motorway speed issues, just can't find them for love nor money. Found this on another forum - not exactly sure if it would work though "I'm completely sold on...

Try using some Silicone spray on the rubber seals, both on door and car. Makes them supple again, cares for the rubber and stops water.

I use my Pedros Bike Lust Silicone polish, does the trick

well the rattle is back after complete silence for 2 days!. either this monsoon 48 hour rain fest in manchester has washed my white teflon mountain bike grease out or its something else. It appears very thin now compared to Sundays application, so i'm going to put some traditional thick yellow greas...

Where can I get these from? Mate put some PIAA silicone on his ford and the difference when the rain starts is supurb, no squeaking, nice clear view a complete contrast from my OEM bendy VW ones. I'm bored of using rain-x etc and the like, but havn't had much joy finding bendy silicone passat wipers...

Well gave the door hinge a good coating of white grease, particular the bit with the arm which stops the door at certain opening widths, opened and closed it a few times to bed grease in and FIXED :D no more knock. I guess the lever which clicks the door at certain positions is quite lax when the do...

i'd say bang for buck, performance VS frugality the 130 PD is hard to beat.

Loads of torque on tap, pulls like a steam train and can give 60mpg if gentle on the fun pedal

from what i recall mine has a gold type screw which sits flat at the top of ashtray caddy, if this is sticking out a bit perhaps its causing it?

thanks for advice, now just to see if I can get anything close to these with OEM. I enjoy polishing, cleaning, snowfoaming car etc, but not keen on applying 3+ coats of protection on the alloys. Prefer to use a mild wheel clean spray with a valeting brush and finish off with dish wash sponge foam an...

great advice mate. OEM sounds like what i'll need, i've got real bad OCD over minor scuffs/scratches etc, so it would ruin me to see my nice new alloys to tarnish and fall apart in winter. Would ebay be best bet for second hand OEM's, and is there a way to identify an OEM as genuine (do replicas hav...

Ooooh this sounds crazy enough to work! will give it a try

Jojo's nuvolari's are looking rather partial, http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d108/Lisajojo/Passat/134-3444_IMG.jpg Can someone list some decent links to exactly what i'd need, springs etc to lower enough to take these beauty's? I've read some recent horror stories of undercarraiges getting stuck ...

Tends to happen on minor bumps on the road, like a stone is knocking around in the bottom of the inside of driver door, getting progresively worse.

All the electrics on door etc working.

Any ideas?

How do I remove the door trim without breaking the plastic tabs?

I've not seen a highline without the chrome bumper and side door trims?

Mine came with parking sensors, heated full leather seats, 15" alloys, 6 cd changer in front dash, and the dash is a very dark grey colour (not keen on the light grey dash with black gearstick etc)

its that bling, even the mud can't hide it!

i put my bike in the back of car out of sight.

Use a large plastic cover from a bed shop they keep mattresses in. Chuck bike in mattress plastic thing, chuck in back of passat. No scroats can see shiny £2500 mountain bike and follow me home and then attempt to rob

i could never do that to my lovely passat

I use Polar air con who come round to your address and regas for £60. (that was 2 years ago, not sure if price still the same)

where abouts in Stockport is this?

I go to Bury usually very good guy, ex VW mechanic.

i get this occasionally and at lights if i open and close my door it goes away for that journey usually. Think the door might close and not seat perfect sometimes.

I clean my rubber seals with silicone spray which prolongs their life and makes them more supple

what on earth does a strut bar do?

when you say beep is it as in the posh bing like on an airplane when a door opens or some other beep?

What sort of cost is involved for all four corners lowering springs and all the dampers

looks too like the audi allroad which I see as a wannabe 4x4. (of nasty air suspension fail fame)

Too much plastic and just looks ratty.


Although the alloys many of them are running on that thread are very nice indeed!

Heres the power steering resevoir sheild on a B5.5 http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a244/EchoOfGecko/HID%20Install/P1010012.jpg It removes to reveal this :D http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/pault123/DSC03086.jpg http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c400/pault123/DSC03091.jpg On the drivers side ...

as soon as i considered selling my sport 2001, the engine blew up.
