Tris's wagon.

Post by Tris_T »

Well I've had my B5.5 wagon for a few months now and have started a few mods.

First day I got it.
Image

Had a few issues with it jumping into limp mode.
No codes show.
So Cleaned the inlet, all turbo and cooler pipes.
Worked fine for a couple days. Then started again.
Then found a air sensor pipe had been worn by the engine cover.
Image
So replaced with a harder unleaded pipe.
Image
Problem fixed. :)

So ripped out the Nokia hands free.
Image
Image

Debadged the rear.
Image

Fitted an armrest

Bought a set of 19' 8.5J LM reps
Image
Then realised that I wanted 9.5J rears. So found two rears with new tyres mega cheap.

After the test fit I ordered,
- 20mm hub centric bolt on spacers for the front.
- 2 x 215/35/19 tyres for the front two wheels.
- Lug nuts and lockers.

Whilst doing that I came across some coilovers....

And the B5 cup holder.
(just need optic dash trim in double din to finish).
Before...
Image
After.....
Image

Rear view heater switch was pressed in, so got a new one ready to fit when I gain a net optic trim.

And that's it until the tyres and spacers arrive.

Need to decide what colour to have the centres. As have two silver rears and two grey fronts.:/

Also on the look out for Leather.
Ideally Rs4/ S4 front seats or something similar.
Then a normal leather rear bench.

Will update when wheels all get fitted. :)
