Hi From Sunny Malaga. Back to VW. V6. 2.5 Tdi

Post by kevse1961 »

Hello to everyone up there in the good old UK. Well I'm a newbie on here and am down in southern Spain but not on the coast but in the mountains where you fry in summer at 43 degrees and freeze in winter at -2 some nights. I had 18 months a go a VW Passat 2004 B5 V6 2.5 tdi and sold it to buy a Volvo S60 which was mechanically perfect as it had all it's history from the day it was sold new. It was sat at the back of a car show rooms in the dark with a cover over it and not one straight panel :roll: I bought it for 2.000 euros and brought it back to it's former glory with bodywork and a complete respray. 18 months later the guy who bought my Passat called me to say he was selling it making me swerve of the road and into a layby. He told me that he had had the heads skimmed as there was a little oil in the water bottle as well as new belts, suspension, gearbox sent to a specialist to be cleaned and filled with new oil, AC revision, new glow plugs and injectors, this caught my attention and said I would drive down to see him. To cut a long story short the Volvo sold in 24 hrs and 48 hrs later I was back with my Passat again :D Since then I have put a chrome protector plate on the back bumper and it has been mopped in the body shop as he used auto washes where the rollers leave a spiders web on the paintwork. Now it's looking more or less OK. The only thing I do need and am hoping I may find one on these forums is the back luggage cover!. I am not quite sure what you call it in English but it pulls out from behind the rear seats and covers whatever you have in the boot and then rolls back in place with the internal spring, well mine has broken and will no longer roll back leaving on clear view whatever I have in the boot. Not sure if I can post some pics here but will have a go. Well that's about it. Hope to get time to spend on these forums. best to all. PS. If somebody would be kind enough to show me the best place on the forum to look or ask if anyone has the boot luggage cover I am after. Thanks
