I'm afraid its all the same now! whether its a ford or a fiat everythings all computer fixes :/ 2 hours to change a headlight bulb and a can of tyre gunk if you get a flatty!!! its ridiculous! Bring back the pinto's!! ;) The bmw is my old daily I had whilst I was messing around with the passat, I re...

its no race car but it handles well considering its oem past, and comparing it to other similar sized saloons. In my opinion the joms are good value for money and hold up well, as-long as you don't need to adjust them all to often you'll be fine! If extreme lowness and height adjustability is not an...

Not driving it yet tho!! for obvious reasons..

I've had joms on my car for the best part of 8 months, firstly I slammed the car to the ground where it was a bit hit and miss.. but I raised the fronts towards the end of summer 2013, I'd say the car is lowered between 80-90mm all round, Its hunkered down on some 18/35/215 falken fk452's I can hone...

okay I've just figured it out.. the turbo I fitted.. where the n75 is connected someone bridged the two ports on the turbo with a piece of vacuum hose.. what a calamity lol

I've got an AEB 1.8t had boost issues since owning it and not really clued up on these n75 valves when I bought it I replaced the turbo as the boost was down (only for one I had lying around) and only now have I realised the N75 is not connected to anything..? its wired in.. and its fixed into the i...

I always get that reply! and in all fairness you are right! but after almost a year of a yellow car I fancy a change haha

I've been offline for a while now due to being halfway through a full resto on another car! I was meant to be getting it done for summer this year but now that looks less likely so the passat will maybe tag along to some shows instead!! cards on the table so far.. DIY wrap! gotta be matte but haven'...

looking into getting my passat remapped but got a boost issue that needs sorting, after fitting a very good condition replacement k03-029 i had off another car I then fitted aboost gauge to my passat to see what i was boosting, i'm tapped from inlet manifold to fuel pressure regulator which i'm told...

i love them too mate! and so much more simple and fun to work on compared to my 1.8t!

once its finished its either save up and build an s52 lump for it or go all out on the b5, forged internals, and a gt3071 haha

admired her when i got back from work!

Been off the passat scene for a few months now, still daily my b5 but been building my dream e30.. Originally the 316i was my cheap run around whilst i built my "speedy" 1.8t passat, but after getting the passat to a satisfactory level I decided i didn't need a cheap daily and the roles we...

after a little break from tinkering with the b5 to get my other project started i'm back on it, with an upcoming mot I've found a few little things here and there I'm going to do :) the rad hoses i've found have always been poo on my passats and the retaining clips always seem to perish away real qu...

another cheeky local meet picture

nice to get out in the nice weather

I've got a k03-029, I've changed the manifold already mate. But the high flow replacement is a lot chunkier which restricts access to the nuts.

There is 100% no way the manifold can be fitted with turbo in place.. Because of its larger size the nuts underneath and a few on top are completely inaccessible with a socket (the ones I own atleast). The reason I didn't fit it before was because I bolted the turbo up before hand and could not get ...

forgot to add,
already fitted a forge 008 with green spring but have the yellow one in the box ready

Hello guys, first off we are talking about my 99 1.8t AEB passat saloon cable throttle shes a good little car with only 86k on the clock! Originally i planned to do the k04 conversion but after a change in projects i have opted out of that route for the time being, but still would like to liven her ...

cheers mate thats really helpful

Build put on hold at the moment! Gotta try and 6 pot the e30 (:

is this a 20v non turbo? hope its not to much of a pain!!

Hello guys! decided to make a little write up of my passat :) been searching for the right car since january 2012 (when i purchased my first b5 saloon 1.8 20v non turbo. Being 19 years old and going from a mk4 fiesta 1.4 it was like a dream come true! insurance was half that of the previous fez! on ...

hello mate! i love a good b4! and the tdi's were built to last forever! got any pictures?

always a problem with me, had two replaced.. then another 1.8t i bought didnt even have one (someone previously cut it out and welded a straight piece of pipe in) and now my current 1.8t was on the way out but luckily i replaced the exhaust system! like mentioned above i would head towards getting s...
