If this car was a woman, I would have furious sex with it

....love it

Looks like a rotten scrotum on wheels.

Blow torch on that bolt knuckle for 30 seconds, then punch and hammer it will come free. But yeah, no need to undo them for cv boots.. actually no real need to take the shaft out either, if you jack the hub up about 5cm it will come free from the spline, will take you about 20 mins start to finish t...

Rowan used the gold on his, looks good. Don't waste time taping things, just take the retainer clip off, unbolt the 2 caliper bolts and do it properly, looks 100 times better.

I never bothered, depends how fussy you are about not being told the bonnet is open I guess, I was more concerned with the oil light.. once you disconnect the battery it won't come back

Bonnet catch switch, exactly the same fault on mine. Disconnect your battery for 10 minutes, reconnect and as if by magic it will be gone..

Adam, I have a complaint. You almost caused a crash as you were driving down twelve acre drive the other day. Will you PLEASE stop making your car look awesome, that way I will keep my eye on the road and not bury my old mans car into a ditch. Ta. Oh, and apparently, we are almost neighbours.... aga...

sorry guys, checked and it looks like I uploaded the pics to image shack without an account and they've broken the links.. no way I can get them back I'm afraid However, the first image was a picture of the upturned shaft, joint on top and hub bolt threaded into the hole to force the two apart. The ...

discontinued now mate, but at the time I bought them used, a new set would set you back £650 ish plus rubber and thats just the bog standard diamond cut/anthracite finish..

Do me one massive favour.. NEVER sell the ascaris unless you sell them with the car, I speant god knows how long tracking them down..drove 250 miles to rescue them off a taxi and haven't seen another set of 18's on a passat since! Gota say chap, I was pretty sad to see it in such a state after the d...

I've just sold a B5 A4 1.8t with 162k on it, still going strong

I mean, apart from the arms, I'd recommend you invest in a couple of OE CV boot kits. After mine was lowered I went through about 4 in a short space of time, only after I lowered it..

I fitted the meyle HD kit to my old passat the reasoning being the oe arms were never intended to deal with the extra stresses of lowering etc.. so by fitting cheaper arms to a lowered passat, I was only going to have to change them again.. not a job i wanted to do more than once.. HD kit fitted and...

Haha yeah it could end up being the twin.. now..where did i put those cuervo's

That I have!, and a mighty fine colour it is too!

Well its been almost 3 years, a run of an Audi 80 cabrio, mk3 estate and an A4 saloon but it appears I've been dragged kicking and screaming (partly thanks to rowan) back into a rather lovely B5.5 TDi sport wagon purchased from Billy VW yesterday.. Haven't got anything in the way of pictures at the ...

you'll need a piston rewind tool for the calipers mate

just make sure you get it and lock them cam Chris, I watched my friend do the belt on mine in 40 mins flat from bumper off to back on looked quite straightforward

You going tomorrow mate? I've been told i need to see this..

Niiiiiice! And it doesn't look as if I need to polish it!

Drakie has been raving about your engine cover, thought I'd pop in and have a gander.

Mate, what can I say.. if I was ever tempted back to a pawagon, I'd be happy if it looked even half as good as yours.

top job

not for what you paid anyway.

don't get me started, grrrr

yeah it was a 10", I took out all the plastic jack holder etc.. tried fitting a 12" but there was just no room to get a big enough mounting plate in that recess without taking the molding out. GRP is definitely the way forward, I'd just make sure you stick some dynamat or similar down insi...
