Re: Does The Passat Eat CV Joints
If you can do the job on a 4 post ramp, leave the wheels on the deck, once you have undone the flange and hub bolts, turn the steering round to the left, you will now be able to drop the inner cv joint clear of the gearbox drive flange while sliding the outer joint out of the hub and remove it throu...

Re: Gear box oil
That reminds me of a conversation i heard at a show about timing belts, a guy said he was told the timing belt would last the life of the engine the next guy said the one on his Mk1 Scirocco Gti had broken at 175000 and the engine was far from being done. It's easy for them to say it's filled for li...

Re: b5 tailights and US marker lights
Go down the dealers and order them simples, I ordered a pair of front ones last month, they struggled a bit to start with as they are listed for American market models, they said they were back ordered but came within the week, as far as I can remember they were around £18 each, the bulb holders wh...

Re: Passat B5 2002
Easier way to get to these connectors is, from inside the wheel arch where the ABS sensor wiring goes into the car pull out the grommet and the red and black plugs will be found behind the grommet, (red plug pad wear wires, black plug ABS sensor wires), lot easier than going behind the glove box or ...

New mot fail for Diesel cat removal from Feb 16
As title says new reason for rejection in Mot from Feb 16th, if catalytic convertor (or DPF) was fitted as standard item on a diesel vehicle, its removal will mean Mot Fail, I know they were not a mandatory fitting but I would imagine they are saying the car was type approved with one fitted so it m...

Re: Wiper wont turn off
Little update, looking at a wiring diagram on Autodata fuse 27 goes straight to the rear wiper motor and the washer pump is connected across 2 of the other wires to the rear wiper motor and one of those wires also goes to pin 53c on the front wiper motor control relay, speaking to a guy I know and h...

Re: PD130 loss of coolant, low temp, leak out the expansion
Remember if the water pumps gone, the heater will blow cold, also if the heater matrix is leaking it will leak coolant into the cabin and you will get condensation on your windows, check for wet carpets

Re: PD130 loss of coolant, low temp, leak out the expansion
Is the heater still producing plenty of heat? The reason I ask is last year my car was loosing water, it turned out that the head gasket was just starting to go but one strange thing it did was that driving up a long incline the heater would start blowing cold, also driven hard up an incline the tem...
