Wheres the pic of the traffic cop stopping it for illegally exceeding the towing weight? Its nearly dragging its backside down the road.

Nah, the EU havent finished getting it through the hypocrisy and ripping off public taxation departments yet.

Good to hear POR stuff stands up to its rep, ive looked around at whats said about anti rust treatment and paint and decided on POR. If weather and time work out I need to clean up the underside of the T5.

Yep on the T28 and T30 spec vans much the same at the rear for a long time, t32 got a better traditional drum and disc combo. Been there, replaced pins twice, cleaned up calipers, reset handbrake, etc etc. It stands unused too much, nothing worse for a vehicle really. When time and money permit itll...

Find a better mechanic.

Could be anything but theyre not exactly complicated cars, check thr brake disc shield.

VW/VAG love to use these calipers and theyre always trouble in the end.

Think my loss of hanrake and poor rear braking on the T5 will turn out to be a similar cause.

Yeah thanks whats23 :roll: At 1:40 all that means is the permanent live is connected to the units acc input most likely if you join that connector on that particular adapter. Doesnt appear to be a canbus adaper loom either. Cba (-| , good luck with this old quad core take the advantage to get a refu...

BTW, anyone looking to buy sorry but quadcore cpu units are out of date. Very basically focus on PX5 (8 core) or PX6 (newer and faster 6 core) based units at the moment, with MTCD/MTCE MCU units (media control unit). Minimum 4gb ram and 32gb rom (some are now coming out with 64gb), and Android 9 tho...

Yes, youve confused something. Dalo Ill repeat once more. Theres no SWITCHED LIVE in the quadlock on a Passat B6, ONLY permanent live, it would not function at all if the permanent live isnt connected. Although by the sounds of it Im starting to wonder if the installer has connected that properly th...

Correct, Canbus. Essentially its (stereo) probably fitted with a generic canbus adapter and using a generic vw canbus profile in the stereo, assuming the installer even installed it properly (as in configuration). Often its not sufficient to buy an android unit with just generic vw profiles, well al...

Ive got one in my BNZ engine T5, the ECU spotted a blank and it is an electronic type that needs coding out, so I put in a restrictor plate. Cant remember exactly but its appx 8 - 9mm dia hole, and doesnt seem to bother the dpf or upset the ECU. The EGR is supposed to aid dpf regen cycles so its not...

You mean shock absorbers.

Bilstein B4 are equivalent to original but considered better.

I think it might be possible, my 07 T5 has illumination of the instruments with ignition.

That said it could also be as simple as the way its wired too.

Its largely down to the tester, their experience, their discretion. My current aftermarket headlights were rejected because I had HID in the low beam projectors, the Halfords centre I used is very strict to the rules. Ill have my high/low HID retrofit projectors fitted by next mot (On my T5), with s...

And thats an original RNS system I assume? Or do you mean something put in at some point? If its an RNS of that age good luck the things are long out of date and no you cant put different nav software on it. Im not even sure theres still map updates for it (assuming you have the most recent updates?...

Decat wont pass, do it legally, and the flexi is leaking, bit of a clue there.

Mostly only another B5.5

Yes of course you should be replacing manifold gaskets you never usually reuse such items. Back when i got rid of my egr on my avf (same) i found some clown had stripped the thread on one of the 3 mounting holes, its only tapped holes in alloy and you must be careful not to overtighten. I ended up u...

Yes, not to mention if its an original vag/vw wheel your radius seat bolts are fine, or if its aftermarket and needs taper seat bolts.

You havent given any info what sat nav youre talking about.

Copilot is an app for android based systems etc.

Modify your routing profile if you havent got a specific mode, and well if the nav lets you, to prioritise or deprioritise types of road.

Or get proper nav software for the job :

Considering youve said nothing about the PCD, the make, the offset or any such important details its impossible to answer. Landsail are about the best budget tyre ive ever had personal experience of, but again, which model thry make a lot of different ones, and you should still be checking the age u...

Its BS really, there are already too many cameras its just another popularity reaction more to do with revenue than doing the right thing. Saw this on the news, some political talking head being interviewed, when asked why not fund policing properly to deal with this he couldnt dodge the answer fast...
