It's not coolant water as mines pink with antifreeze. I did think it might be the air con. I had a new thermostat fitted the end of last year. Is the temp sensor somewhere else

Sorry should of put this in the B5.5 section

Hi I'm having a little issue with my Passat. I have a tiny puddle of I think it's just water under my car by the front passenger wheel. I'm not loosing any water from my coolant system. Now my temp gauge is playing up. When the engine is warming up, the temp gauge comes to nearly normal then drops s...

Spotted you n the strip at Santa pod, but couldn't find you to have a better look

Fanks!!!!

Ok cool it's a 2004 2l petrol highline not sure what the old suspension was.

These are the old wheels

Hi , I've lowered my car and I don't know by how much. Can anyone tell me the distance from the floor to the wheel arch of a standard car please. Mines a 2.0l saloon

There's lots of different carbons just make sure you get a good on. Most sign shops should be able to supply it, if not give me a shout.

And the car doesn't look tacky already? Personally I don't like carbon wrapping but it's my job.

Vehicle wrapping is very popular now, there is so many choices of wrapping vinyls and colours.

Thanks, exactly that, with a heat gun and plenty of practice. The material I use is a 3M 3d material and its quite expensive. But it looks the part.

Sorry put this in the wrong place

This is what I got up to this morning. A bit of carbon wrapping. It's a Bespoke Range rover, never seen one before. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp83/eddiedwards1980/788b492102e3ea9d7fed839a96ae38a8.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp83/eddiedwards1980/0a1f1418be908f4c20aaea562d15a076.jp...

I would like a different bumper but I think this one is a bit over the top for me. And mines not an estate.

No definitely not putting sticker on it. This will be an insurance job

Finally got the car all sorted and back on the road and this happens




Someone rear ended me.

I'm doing it at the moment. I'm up to day 10. It definitely is insane

A couple more of the caddy and the Passat. http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp83/eddiedwards1980/Passat/cc12026291fee2e8b9538cc684668d26.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp83/eddiedwards1980/Passat/e77e2afd3d5d9205224828f306b0e910.jpg http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp83/eddiedwards1980/P...

Yeah I bought the whole kit and them too.

I took it for a test run last sat and it over heated again, so I bought anew water pump and cam belt. When I took the old water pump out it came out in 4 bits so I knew that was the problem. Fitted the new one and the belt and now all is good.

Thanks for all the help

The Passat is mainly the missus car so I drive this every day



And this when its sunny

It's a 2l petrol and I've changed the thermostat and yes it was a pain but its done now. Taking it out for drive today to see how it goes.

Cheers minidub.

I've just bought a thermostat from Gsf, they told me you can only buy with the housing which is £55.

Oh we'll bought now might as well fit it

Wingz were you on the HJC forum?

Cheers I was looking at doing that anyway

My 5.5 over heated yesterday. Booooooo! I limped it home stopping every mile to let it cool down. It starts fine and drives perfectly still. Except the temperature rockets up. Has my water pump gone or my thermostat. My heating works but doesn't seem as hot, even full blast. I was quoted £45 for th...
