What an odd post. What sort of response were you after? Start your build thread. I'm sure it will get attention if it's interesting.

Should be assuming it hasn't had the VW Emissions 'Fix'.

Had my B5.5 since April last year. Longest I have kept a car is about 4 years. That was a 2002 Focus. 11 cars in 18 years of driving.

I have definately noticed an increase in people driving around without their headlights on, particularly early in the morning. I think the rise in DRL's and dashbords being permanently lit up has contributed to this as well as general stupidity. Another thing that annoys me, people driving without h...

That'll be me then . Left lane too slow , typically less than 70 . Right lane too fast 80+mph . If you're in either you are constantly changing to the middle lane to avoid slow in front and giving way to rear fast approaching traffic . Stay at 70 ish in the middle lane , mile after mile . I use the...

Just been reading this thread with interest. My car is starting to run rough so will be giving this a try too. Would this stuff be alright to use? Seems very reasonably priced. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pennine-Universal-2-Stroke-Oil-5-Litre-FREE-DELIVERY/152828220892?epid=27009519857&hash=ite...

People who hog the middle lane, mile after mile after mile.

Rude, inconsiderate people.

My football team being absolutely terrible.

Tories.

I have had the 1.6 in a Seat Toledo and the 2.0 (140) in a Passat. The 1.6 was fine and very economical but a bit toothless although adequate. The 2.0 was nearly as economical but much more punchy and a lot better to drive. Given the choice again it would be the 2.0 every time.

Now that is delayed reply!!

Hi all, After selling my much loved B5 Saloon after 2 years I have purchased another this a B5.5 Estate, not without some issues 1. Mirror centre light and rear passenger door lights do not work when any door is open, ( switching across fine, contacts all fine) drain holes clear floor dry, not a dr...

I'll barely get near 90° with egr disabled and about town journeys . Still it's far superior to the previous na 1.7 petrol that was much lighter and smaller . Non DPF Diesel power is still the right car to be in . My commute is 7ish miles, 4 days a week. I just get up to 90. Ever other weekend I do...

Don't forget the pesky heated mirror switch staying on , so easily done this time of year . Good shout, Gaz. Checked mine and it was on. Probably been like that for months. Mirrors still work though so luckily, not burnt out. My personal MPG has gone down by around 10% in the last month. To be expe...

This is a great thread. Don't forget to post up the results of your dick measuring contest, lads.

My 2011 SE did not have front fogs. Just DRL's.

I had an A4 before my Passat with the 2.0 130BHP ALT engine. Pretty uninspiring to drive to be honest but gets the job done. Over 2k miles I averaged 32.3MPG (Actual). Over the 7.5k since, I have averaged 51.7 in my 130BHP Tdi. They have been a much more fun bunch of miles. Also, the Tdi is cheaper ...

Probably, although it was a general observation rather than actual experience from this morning. Bit misty but no frost inside.

Cold! Struggling to start in the morning (Wouldnt start at all today after being sat all weekend, got a jump and ordering a new battery today), MPG through the floor, Car never clean, Hands always in bits, Frosty on the inside. Love the winter......

A Superb Estate will be my next weapon of choice once my 5.5 expires and the youngest has started school. Might sell the wife and get a 280

30-70 in 3rd is a favourite pastime of mine since T2000 did his stuff.

Guessing then if you have indicators in your B5.5 mirrors your ok

My AWX B5.5 (2005) subject to the charge.

In my old 2012 Seat Toledo with the 1.6Tdi I averaged 58.2MPG (Actual not indicated) over just under 13k miles.

All works finished a few days ago. A good job done as well. Chap came round to collect his cash tonight. Told me that when they arrived captain idiot was parked over the drive so they went and asked him to shift. A discussion ensued which led to him moving but telling the guy he didn't care what wor...

52.1mpg over 5079 miles in my 2005 AWX, wagon. T2000 remap. EGR bypassed.
