UKPassats

Love the car. Cant wait to see the air fitted!

What spec are your wheels and tyres? the car sits perfect on them, and im after a similar fitment.

Thanks for the help. My golf was pretty low and very crashy, the Vectra was fairly low too, but quite comfy, and I'm not planning on lowering the passat as much as either of them, at first anyway lol. The slightly bigger profile tyres ill be using compared to yours should help make it a bit softy to...

Arr nice. Goin for air?

How do u find the coil overs on the passat? Comfy?
And do the scrape on anything at all?

I was going to go for the RNS but they seemed to be double the price.

The wheels suit the car a lot, looks nice.

Are you on coil overs?

I got the RCD510 not the RNS, it was 220 from Ebay (second hand)

Is your car on 20's?
What are your wheel and tyre specs, if you don't mind me asking.

Alright mate, I think I remember seeing your car about the site.

Yeah theres a bit of a difference between the Vectras and Passats. haha.

afraid not.
there are some, somewhere, but i cant remember where ive put them. probably on some old cds, but ive "tidied" the computer room since then, haha

First, a bit of my car history: My first car was a Corsa 'B', nice little car. that went through quite a few changes over the 5 years i owned it. ended up being stripped out, fixed back bucket seats, centre exit exhaust, coilovers, 15" compomotive alloys. Next I had a Vectra 'C', had this for 5...

Thought id add a bit of car history to my introduction. My first car was a Corsa 'B', nice little car. that went through quite a few changes over the 5 years i owned it. ended up being stripped out, fixed back ucket seats, centre exit exhaust, coilovers, 15" compomotive alloys. Next I had a Vec...

I'd recommend making sure you're at the height u want before having the aligment done, because any height adjustment will, ideally, need another alignment check. When I've fitted Coilovers, ive always roughly set up the alignment by eye and set to a rough height. Then let them settle for a couple of...

U might find that if the Coilovers are set the same either side that it might not be level, this is just because of different corner weights, just alter each individual corner to level it out once u have set a basic height u want. U will find once u level it out the spring seats won't be much out an...

It's just trial and error for setting them up.

Thanks for the help fellas

He's offered me one already, I'm considering it.
Where did the one you get come from? A UK one?

Ive been looking for a newer gateway so I can upgrade my radio to the VW RCD510. Ive been reading around and think i understand what i need to do to prevent any problems. Now, there dont seen to be too many Q Gateways. the only 2 ive found are from china and tiawan. Ive read i should maybe steer cle...

Hello all. I have recently bought my first passat, a 2006 diesel 140 sport, black. I've got a little girl on the way so have had to get something a bit more practical and not as low as my mk3 golf. I've been given my orders not to lower and "ruin" this car, so fit coil overs is going to ha...

Im looking at 2.0 TDi Highline CR DPF around a 2008.

Is there anything I need to look out for?
any other engines i should be looking at?
any general info on the passats of that age?

Thanks in advance.
