Bill you left out the W124 .

Way too thick . Fuchs version of G 052 911 is 75W80 ( Fuchs Titan Sintofluid SAE 75W-80 ) , don't be fooled by the 75W bit as a 80 will be thinner when cold than a 90 . My updated recommendation now is G 052 171 which is a 70W75 this is used in Audi A3 8L S3 , Passat B6 etc . I queried it with Tim /...

JVC KW-AV 71BT which is really a Kenwood.

Found a vid .

I'm awake... Depends what's available , most of us did this years ago so the same product isn't available . Things to consider a large touch screen gives most viewing area , 7" iirc , rear reversing camera compatible and if the front panel is removable , though this is a rarity . Being removabl...

I don't think there's much of a market for me .

Bill's a pimp

Consumer Rights Act 2015 sees you good till the 30th of Jan 2022 !

My workmate have quite well equipped 3.0tdi quattro automatic. Comfortable and powerful enough, but one thing I hate on these. All buttons on dashboard and centre console has tendency to peel off black top layer. Even being at 130k miles, which isn't high mileage in my opinion. Actually something s...

Some and top up .

That coolant breather hose was always going to go , mine went at the end at the back .

Talking about A4 B7 Chris Mrs got anyone tried a Seat Exeo ?

Usual default answer of 507.00 .

They seem almost rare those C6 A6 as the same car the B6 Passat out stripped the sales with it's better price .

See how it goes , guess they suffer the same B6's short comings .

Obviously a very wise man , now post away .

Foam

The used Redex bottles is the 2T & 2-EHN Gazwould blend as an ideal way of dispensing .

I do put half a bottle of Rexex Diesel to a tank though now and then .

'Premium' diesel for much less £ .

+1

I use this along with 2 Stroke oil , and buy both in 5L 200ml 2T and 40ml 2-EHN is the Gazwould blend .

Guess what the old Passat exhaust blows for the MOT ?

I like 'em .

Is it me or have you got a pair of fried eggs going on there ?

That one is more passenger front and travels to the rear .

All about seals again .

brose inner metal door panel seals rot especially the bottom half then so let in water .




Have you done the pollen filter housing yet ?

Sad to hear , undoubtedly the peak of this forum was with the B5.5 .

Thanks for the vote of confidence but I'm certainly up against it . The replacement unit was because the door would no longer open , no actuator movement either so now and then whilst driving I'd randomly try to get it to open with the drivers switch and one day the door pin came up , so card off an...

Hi guys , having some fun . New unit tested good with open door and window up/down but with door shut it deadlocked , new actuator functions and door pin ups from down but actual lock fails to respond and so with the door pull cable :mad: So I'm well stuck , I've opened a rear deadlocked door before...

Sorry to hear , it was only going to end one way . XC60 sounds great . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/54fc41eae4b07e462fdaf57f/1425890864826-V60THNSEWMY7W6VINYS3/2.jpg?format=500w&content-type=image%2Fjpeg https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRF-GwrySRB1VVw9jKdIC0TYm...

Most of us for £1 a tank put the Redex in .
