Nice car you have there mate, I've been considering one of these recently to replace my b5.5. Like you I'd rather an r32 but it just isn't big enough for family duties . How are you get get on with this? What's the drive like? Is the dsg a plus point?

Merry Christmas everyone Hope you all have a great one!
(Santa was good, das 6 pro and some menzerna polish and a 1.75 litre bottle of JD

Well the bloody mirrors arrived but turned out to be from a b5 s4 not a b6, so dont fit! They are nice tho, solid aluminium cases, not the painted plastic ones. Will have to try and move them on. Apparently they didnt do aluminium ones on the b6, just an aluminium effect coating over plastic

Looking good! Would look even better with the hood down ;)

Where did you get the lip spoiler from, does it come fully painted? I'm looking at fitting one soon

Im in Cyprus buddy, working here for 3 years Its great, hot all the time and a more relaxed lifestyle but still miss certain things about the uk. Everything is so damn expensive out here (apart from booze lol) since the euro came in!

Cheers buddy, just the immediate family tonight! Getting the bar opened next week and all the lads round (might need more meat for that haha), can't wait. Just need to get some optics screwed onto the bar you can see in the background ;)

Got the souvla on the go tonight (Greek BBQ) and I've got pork in 2 different marinades. The darker one is sweet and sticky jack Daniels (from a bottle) and the lighter one is my own marinade : Cyprus oregano, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and a bit pepper. Almost ready now and I can't frickin wait h...

Genuine S4 Brushed aluminium mirror caps ordered

Might take a while to reach me in cyprus tho

Sounds like it's coming along nicely buddy! I know what you mean about the standard power, my passat 20vt feels faster! A trip to revo is on the cards soon hopefully

Lovely car at a lovely price. Hope you have lots of fun in it and enjoy it. Regards Pete Cheers buddy :) I'm loving it at the moment lol. Keep looking for excuses to go out for drives with the top down, never before have I offered to run so many errands for the missus haha! Here it is next to the g...

snap ! Haha looking good buddy! Ive a few jobs to sort out on mine too, nothing major tho. Mechanically it's tip top, just some cosmetic things to tidy up. Then the modding can commence :) Wheels Boot lip spoiler (subtle one) B7 rear light upgrade S4 rear lower bumper insert Chrome mirrors Would li...

Haha you could try mate, if it doesn't fit exactly just tie it on with some string or sellotape! Job done ;)

Found out its Ebony Black, which is a pearlescent paint Getting a full detail on Saturday. Going to sort out the sun damage on the headlight lenses today

Well I've got her now and already fixed the roof issue. Well there wasn't really an issue with it at all, the last owner didn't do much investigating....a strap was caught in the roof frame preventing it folding all the way down lol so it's now working perfectly :) I love a free fix! ;) http://i1017...

Snap! I picked one of these up last week, chuffed to bits with it. From what I've heard over on an audi forum, a worthwhile mod is fitting the rear ARB from an RS4, tightens the handling up nicely

Wonder how she'd like to have a jet wash up her back door!

I have just bought a 2003 A4 cabrio as a bit of a project car, weekend car. I live in Cyprus and most older cars out here have sun damaged paint. The damage is on the bonnet and boot lid. Are there any detailing gurus out there who can advise on a way to correct the paintwork without resorting to a ...

Ah, that would be the middle pipe then if you look at it that way. Europcar parts call that the downpipe in the listing. It's the bit with the mesh flexi bit, that has burst on mine Here is the link :) http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Volkswagen_Passat_1.8_2001/p/car-parts/car-body-parts-and-car-ex...

I need to order a new downpipe and I have found one on europcar parts which says it fits the 1.8t AEB engine, my car has the AWT. Will it still fit? Cheers

Well I've bought it. I live in Cyprus in the RAF and the woman is a school teacher on the station out here and has just got a new job in the uk so she leaves the island soon and has a lot to sort out. It's got full service history, drives great and the engine is a lot smoother and quieter then the 1...

Also just read that I can do a manual reset on the roof which normally solves the issue.

http://i1017.photobucket.com/albums/af297/rockafella8587/imagejpg1.jpg Yep buddy it's black with the tan leather interior and 3 spoke wheel, alloys are pretty meh but I can change them in the future! Just put a deposit on it, she needs it till the 14th July. Just the roof issue, there is a guy who ...

I have the chance to but a 2003 a4 cabriolet 1.8t for a bargain price of 2k. Its in good condition overall and has only done 60k miles. But the woman says the roof only goes down 3/4 of the way and hasnt the time or money to fix it. She is coming round to mine in an hour with it but there is 5 other...

I was just wondering if anyone has upgraded their B5.5 fey fob to something newer from the vag range? Is it possible to put the internals in something else? Only thinking about it as I need to order a new one anyways. Tried to search for it but key and fob are too short for the search facility! Chee...

Would be easier to buy a 1.8t and swap the interior bits over from your n/a....a lot easier!
