Just trying to help the chap out Gaz it's no good to me and brand new someone might as well make use of it

Is it the right rear door lock you have issues with, I've got a brand new lock you can have for the cost of postage here on Gaz's thread viewtopic.php?f=8&t=90901 if that helps

Don't be so tight people buy a new door latch it's the only long term solution :-bd I might even have a brand new spare, I'll have a look if you like Gaz just not sure if it's for the N/S/F or O/S/F Nah sorry it's just found it it's the O/S/R door :( 3B4839016A if you or anyone else wants it you can...

There is a mobile air con chap near me that charges £35 for a complete pressure check, vac, lube and recharge of your a/c system, if he can't refill due to a fault he just charges £10 call out fee and will have a quick look to see where it's leaking, he will also put some dye in and leave you to rep...

Yes exactly, it's the worst money making scam ever thought of, since it was fitted 4 months ago I've not driven down that road nor have many other locals forcing cars to use back roads to bypass them it doesn't even give you the 10% that's commonly known for speedo accuracy plenty of people have had...

The Green party now that's a good one :hyst After living in the ONLY city in England with a green MP I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, so far she's single handedly ruined the local roads by placing speed humps everywhere at a cost of £122 million, these are now all being ripped up becasue they a...

The only time I remember my EML light flash was when the pre-cat Lambda sensor was on the way out, It did give a code so well worth scanning first I got a Bosch one from local factors for £80+ vat iirc

Well is anything at all going to happen ? As we know of late with the NOx and government debacle there is a lot of impractical hot air blown first ( scaremongering ) then a very dilute version arises . NOx has taken the heat away from diesel particulates a bit . Mot stations would have to invest he...

Isn't there a finance cooling off period ? Don't know but he's had it nearly 3 months now so probably well gone, I would imagine it was 7 or 30 days maximum if there is a cool off period, anyway buying an Alfa is buyer beware, but I have to say the 159 is most un-alfa like it's built by Italians, d...

Wow, an alfa on finance, almost nothing loses value faster, hed have been better just setting fire to his money even before this political nonsense. I did try to warn him but he's a complete Alfa nut :roll: I've had alfa's and he's bought a couple off me too but an Alfa diesel on finance x_x but ye...

What annoys me with all this scrappage scheme is the people on a normal working wage etc that tries to keep the cost of motoring down now are being forced to scrap there cars either for an old petrol unless they are one of the very fortunate to be able to afford a new car, I have many friends that h...

So....he went out and bought the audi v6 tdi, haha

that's just hilarious did you tell him??

Usually if you can't pull them off they are fine

Quite common on an oil cooler failure just flush both systems out before filling with nice fluid, the AWT 1.8T is a very good engine and if well looked after more than capable of 200k+ but only use fully synthetic 5w30 or 5w40 oil nothing else and change every 6k miles or 6 months to help stop the s...

those are the sort of tools people on here could pay say £5 each per year membership to the forum and that would cover the cost for the forum to buy them and loan the tools out with a deposit (which covers the replacement cost should it get stolen/lost) then everyone could have access to these sort ...

It's all double Dutch to me when it comes to oil, but I trust and respect Gazwould on this as he has far far better knowledge than I do, he's knows his lubricants

Why why why do I keep seeing posts about "what about this oil? It's a few quid cheaper than the proper proven one" What the actual @£)!... it's your engine people. Stop scrimping and just pay the circa £20 for 5L of quantum LL3 or whatever... why take the risk for the sake of a few quid. ...

Had this on my partners daughters 2003 Civic and after changing the master cylinder twice (secondhand one first then brand new one) it was better but the pedal still sank, eventually changed the ABS block and that cured it I bet you didn't need to change it, if you used a vacuum bleeder it would ha...

I believe you can just cut the plug off your old seat and use it in place of the one on the new seat and wiring colours are the same but I've not done it just read on here some time ago so either try a search or someone will have an answer soon

I cleaned mine a few years back. Was easy enough to get all the parts off but getting the buildup off was messy. Don't wear any clothes you want to wear again! Lol I used something called gunk green degreaser and a lot of scrubbing with a paint brush. Probably not the best method but left it soakin...

Lol Im so pleased to hear that, don't recall the turbo flange being that shape. Cheers chaps. I Can get it fitted next weekend... Oh I'm so looking forward to fighting to get the centre pipe sleeve off :-( Be a doddle just buy a new one just in case you can't undo the old one without the bolts snap...

As Gazwould said Lemforder are the oem supplier so same as you'll get from TPS without the VW symbol also if your on ebay you can get them here even cheaper http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-VW-PASSAT-3B3-3B6-00-05-LEMFORDER-REAR-AXLE-MOUNTING-BUSH-HOUSING-BUSHES-OE-/151967706480?fits=Model%3APassat&...

Looks correct to me

Well done :ymapplause: many people wouldn't tackle this job so give yourself a pat on the back, You'll now understand why some say it's easier to remove the complete engine & gearbox on a hoist from the from of the car, change what you need too then just slot it all back. But at least once your ...

Yeah but that's to remove the housing? the op said he wanted to remove the ecu
