Ollie's B5.5 estate. Now gone...

Post by ollietheking »

Hello all!
Thought it'd be nice to share to progress of my b5.5 wagon!
I acquired it in December 2013 with just over 155k on the clock from my brother who bought it in 2007.

Its a 2002 02 1.9tdi PD100 (AVB) 5 speed manual in S spec
My brother bought it with the FK coilovers and the 19" RS4 Replicas already on
I think it's also been re-mapped but I can't be 100%
It's also got an RNS-MFD1 retro fitted

Maintenance I've done so far are:
Oil change (using the correct oil)
New Control Arms (complete kit)
New EBC Discs all round and EBC Green Stuff Pads and fluid change
New Bosch wipers
New Glow Plugs
New Gear gator
New Genuine VW mats
Polished the haze off the headlights and Osram Night Breaker Plus bulbs
New CV boot and re-grease
Replacement drivers window regulator

Mods I've done:
Bigger caliper carriers with new 312mm discs
Parrot MKi9200
EGR Delete
3 spoke sport leather steering wheel
Phaeton 18" Champions with New Hankook 225/40/18 Tyres
Indicator mirrors

Planned Mods are:
Leather or Part Leather sport interior (inc Armrest)
Cruise control

Things left to sort out:
Now Done! :D Diesel leaks when the tank is full
Now Done! :D Centre dash air vent
Now Done! :D Glove box handle broken off
Now Done! :D Rear drivers side window doesn't go down
Now Done! :D New Cambelt kit, Waterpump and other belts

It's had a fair bit of money spent on it recently, but I'm not expecting it to win any shows with it.
It's being used as my daily driver and I want it to be as decent looking as possible (money permitting), comfortable and mainly as reliable as possible.

This is how it looks now:

Thanks for reading and any comments are welcome.

Oli
