UKPassats

Well done buddy....great accolade to have

B5 passat, B5 A4 and C5 A6 all share loads of parts, but the Passat is closer to the C5 Audi from the stuff I've personally worked on. The biggest issue with putting the bora front end on will be the width of the car as they are different. Regards getting wings to line up etc you would need to liter...

They do turn up now and again normally around £100. It's quite subtle so if you can find a replica then all the better

Original Votex spoiler. Don't have any close ups...sorry

Defo ditch the black Helios, but then I've been saying that forever. Getting em polished probs aint gonna work as you don't know what damage they have had prior to you getting em...........also plastic centre caps! (too much work to keep clean as well :oops: Cream rims have been done before, but wit...

Not the best pic and 19' LM's, but hopefully helps

Genuine LM's with offset of 32mm if I remember right

G60dubster has 18' LM's on his

No worries

dont think anyone is trying to turn their cars into sports cars.. i dont think thats what ant wants nor was asking advice for, im sure if he wanted a return on his money he would invest in bonds or stocks and shares. not on an ARB if we all went by that rationale, then why buy alloys, why tint, why...

Passat of any denomination aint gonna be a sports car no matter what you do to the set up. Yep there are things you can do to improve it, but as your man said it's money your never gonna get back. B6 audi front suspension is pretty much identical to a B5 and a 4 mo passat has independent suspension ...

Cheers Jason

All back working again ....for how long tho

Great news Scott

Scott I've had loads of wiring issues on the W8 with the loom being in and out as they get very brittle with age. Most of the time though they will show up as a fault code - intermitant or short to ground. As has been said I would run all the output tests on vagcom to see if that picks anything up. ...

You also got to take into account it's not the 50-60k that's key here it's the fact the car is probs 12-13 years old and has had 13 years of salt and grime, hot and cold contraction over that period. Sounds like your second set were gash TBH. I would check back through your receipts ad see what they...

When you get your KW1's be careful how low you go at the back or you will rub the plastic bottom spring mount away with the driveshaft. it will seem to clear when static but catches under load. I set my spring height then marked the bottom mount position, removed the spring and let the suspension d...

8.5x19's et37 with spacers on KW coils with more drop available No rubbing front or rear at this height http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee77/dmcessential/a5.jpg http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee77/dmcessential/a3.jpg 8.5x19 et32 without spacers http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee77/dmcessen...

Egg an Chips sounds good to me Scott shame about the car though. Wish I knew something about Diesels to be able to help, but I'm all about the other stuff. Hope you get to the bottom of it buddy

Lil update in the last 10 mins....managed to find a dealer down south that has a bolt in stock so getting an inter-branch transfer done as we speak

Well been alot happened since this B) Got it all re-built and back in the week before edition and started it and same issue as before so all back out again and replacing the cam adjusters. Been waiting on a bolt from VW for 2 weeks now and no sign of when it'll turn up....even tried Bentley as they ...

hunt for a a4 quattro sport, it's lighter to start, has better suspension from the factory and most of your parts will bolt on. ! But you should know that pretty much everything on an A4 quattro is the same as a passat under the skin including the front suspension and given it's a quattro it's gonn...

Height is probably better for driving than hard stance, but looks miles better than it did . Looks like the back needs to come down a touch to level it off with the drop on the front.

It's only an insert whereas the B5.5 part is a complete bumper

B5 part is only about £70 primed

Part you need is 3BO 807 217 GRU as this is the US/Jap bumper for a B5.5 and cost is around £370

A B5 bumper won't fit.

Good luck with it. If u need a sensor give me a shout. Drivers side ones are a ball ache to get out
