Re: b6 worth avoiding?
Forums are usually filled with negatives as most people join because of issues, I joined as we've got a fleet of Passats (2xb5.5 and 2xb6) and I like joining clubs/forums where I can help, share ideas and learn. Ive already done the oil pump balancer shafts on mine and she's been a dream (rather pre...

Re: I was cleaning the garage today and found these
I had good results with the megs stuff and scholl.
There's also clay mitts as opposed to bars and some bars that just require water as opposed to lube.

Haven't used them before, tbh I've seen them advertised at shows but their packaging had always put me off.
