Re: ETKA part number/diagram needed

ETKA part number/diagram needed

I have just fitted some saloon seats to the wife's estate. I need some plastic clips that hold the front of the rear seat cushion in place.

Please could someone either give me the part number or the diagram for the parts, that would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Re: B3 interior fan blower won't work on any setting

I have learnt with my B3, that I have to accept whatever comes out of the blowers. It doesn't get warm, or blow cold, or fast. It just is :D

Re: Breaking into a B5.5 Passat estate

People used to PM the OP when this question was posed, which I think is a better way to make the information available.

I will delete the 'How To' section of this thread.

Re: Best Lowering Kit for B6 saloon??

Apex! That's the make we had. Ran them for three years on our 5.5 and they never featured as problematic.

I would not recommend air unless you want to be continually chasing air leaks and replacing bushes.

Re: Best Lowering Kit for B6 saloon??

Most people just go for coilovers. You don't have to wind them all the way down, and can get the ride just as you require. Springs are OK, I had 40mm lowering springs on our B5.5. Can't for the life of me remember who they were made by though. We used the original shocks, and it seemed to work quite...

Re: one expensive golf

I am staggered by the article, it is terribly written.

I think it looks really good, but a touch too much like the R8, not a bad thing, but not really innovative is it?

Simple - Android if you are tech savvy (geek), iPhone if you just want simplicity. I had a Sony Experia Mini, it was poop. The wife has an Experia, it too is rubbish. My iPhone does what I need it to when I need it to without any real intervention from me. For that it is a no brainer for me, cos I'm...

Well I suppose I best dust off my keyboard, and what better way than welcoming a new B3 owner.

They are the best platform, forget what the rest say :)

I have some Brock B2's that need new tyres if they tickle your fancy?

Get the VW one if you are gonna get one at all. Never used the one on ours though. I am old skool, sitting on my ar$e and using my feet to 'hold' the wheel in place.

Re: passat b3

Good call, but the T25 can wear pretty much most wheels and still rock hard. I like them on the Twists. I parked my B3 next to a T25 crew cab, complete with the canvas back. Looked like it had been lifted somewhat. Anyway went to get my phone out to take a pick, and at that point realised I had left...

That is the closest I will ever come to being famous. Well until I go postal somewhere :twisted:

Golf+ has always been kind to us through the years. I do prefer it to PVW as it doesn't seem as clicky. Surely there are only so many plugs for Regal before it become too nauseating ..........

Re: passat b3

Still a nice choice. Mine had D90's on in a previous life and looked the dogs danglies I think the D90's are one of the best looking wheels for the B3.

So what are your plans with the old barge then?
