Thanks! Well I know it isnt anything scrubbing or such like ive looked at all the clearances and its all fine, speedbumps are now a complete bitch to me lol, tried going over one in town erlier today and it just scrubbed. But I like the fact its scrubs, factual evidence of slammage lol. The coilover...

Oh and another thing I've noticed today, when um going slow, and the front passenger side goes over a minor bump or anything it makes a strange noise, when the cars sat still and I Rock it, it makes the same noise, when moving over 10 mph it doesnt happen, any ideas?

Ill start by saying a big thank you to GoldPedro for fitting my coilovers for me. Top guy, did a fantastic job. Only 1 downfall, the passenger side cv gaitor is now split =( Oh well mistakes happen, Ill get that done on friday hopefuly! Car now looks amazing!! Its a good job we did it now as one oft...

They are amazing!!! I think you should refurb my wheels for me

Thats good to hear, glad we (touch wood) wont have any problems with the fitting. Even if we do I think goldpedro will have whatever is necessary to get the job done. You seem like a bit of a car god haha

If i open any of mine it doesnt auto lock, but if i dont i think its about a minute or so then it re-locks.

ill be fitting coil overs to my car next week. ill be using the standard road america alloys. will I need spacers? i only ask cos a friend had some 10j wheels fitted which were fine he then screwed them and fitted some 8.5j wheels which now scrub so he needs spacers.

cheers

I had a K + N panel filter on my tdi. Made no difference, made that little difference that it went in for a service with k+n, came out with standard one and I couldnt even tell until I remembered about it a few week later!

Fuel filter?

mine (b5.5) Is a bit temperamental, With slow falling rain it seems to not notice it, or see it as a shed load of rain, other then that they are spot on. Ive been driving down the road and theres been a slight mist falling and the wipers go on full pelt. Just another little thing to fall in love wit...

Sorry to dig up an old post, but did the seals actually make any differance? I only ask because my ic seems to of been leaking oil. Is it worth taking the IC off to give it a clean cos sureley some oil must sit at the bottom if its leaking from the bottom hose. Also with the arb bushes, my car gives...

Thats ok, because you took the picture using your camera, and not your phone

The clocks are definitly duff, he said he stopped to take the photo and its showing mph's!!

jct600 York is quite good. I took my car in he took some photo's within a couple of weeks it was in having the 2 wings repaired and I had a courtesy car for free! Rust has just started coming through the paint again on the passenger side so its going back in for a new wing on friday.

I honestly don't know, but my Dad will I'll ask him.

My Arb bushes also need looking at as they were an advisory on the mot. Would these fit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Passat-2WD-B5-B5-5-96-05-POWERFLEX-FRONT-ANTI-ROLL-BAR-BUSHES-27mm-/180818562831?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a19a04f0f#ht_3093wt_1163 If so, what would be the ...

No havnt done it yet the weather has been so miserable recently and my mums car is always in the garage, I think ill be doing it next week sometime after the coilovers are on. I'll take a load of photos to make it easier for you.

It would be easier for you to scrap it!

Just kidding lol, they are a ball ache, but i notice that the only way to get them out is to get hold of the wire, and start pulling literally straight back not even at a slight angle and they pop out. much easier to get back in.

I think before I chop them off ill just remove them. Then decide later what ill do with them. The coilovers should be going on not the wed coming, but the one after. Cant grumble at all for the price ive paid especially as to replace the standard shocks (which are on thier way out) will cost a dam s...

I might actually, was gonna give him £15 for fuel to meet me half way, but that will do the entire journey for me, Ill give him a pm and see what he says =D My mudflaps already rub when I have anything heavier then a hamster in the back. I couldnt really resist buying them to be honest, with my sho...

Thanks for the quick reply torque! Ill have to have a look at goldpedro's and see how his sits, as they will be coming straight of his. I dont intend on slamming it (well no harm in trying first :P) I just want it to sit a bit lower then what it does now. Hopefuly then I wont have to remove the mud ...

Ok, just looking for a bit of advice this time.

As goldpedro is selling his coilovers for £50 (bargain) im not gonna let that go as my shocks are on thier way out.

Can anybody provide me with a list of DO's and DONT's for fitting them. possibly a link to another thread for fitting them?

Cheers
