Tris's wagon.
Posted: Wed May 23, 2012 7:36 pm
Well I've had my B5.5 wagon for a few months now and have started a few mods.
First day I got it.
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.
So replaced with a harder unleaded pipe.
Problem fixed.
So ripped out the Nokia hands free.
Debadged the rear.
Fitted an armrest
Bought a set of 19' 8.5J LM reps
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...
After.....
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.
