AUX FAN REMOVAL?
Has anyone removed the aux fan on a 2002 TDI? I need to change mine as it doesn't spin when the air con is on. It looks very tight to get at, but maybe someone has an easy way of replacing it. I have 13.8 volts at the connector plug when air con is on, but the fan does nothing. Any help much appreci...

A B6 saloon one fits. The little brackets that hold it up are different but you can make them fit.

Re: Vibrating gear lever
I've had both these problems. Intake rattle was fixed with a new pipe, about £15 from the dealer. The gearstick rattle was sorted with a squirt of grease. If you lift the gearstick gaiter off you'll see where the stick joins the car is a ball shape. Just run some grease in there and it stops it. Th...

Re: Retro Fit interior LED B5?
3B0857511JY20 is the part number for self dimming rear view mirror with 2 red led's underneath and an on/off switch.
Part number is for the grey coloured one. There is also a beige one.
This plugged straight into my 2002 no problem. The leds come on with the ignition.

Re: MFD Navi into a b5
I've just fitted the same one in my 2002. Mine did need a plug and play wiring loom as you said. It's because the unit needs a signal from the speed sensor to update the map as your moving. On mine the signal is already in the stereo wiring loom in the car. If you had a GAMMA headunit this should ha...

Re: fluid drain rearview mirror
If you end up needing a mirror I have a grey one which is perfect. I only took it off as I wanted one with a switch and leds.
Open to offers on that.

And best of all.....it was free.
Many thanks to those that helped with this.

REMOTE WINDOWS?
Was looking at how to make the windows roll up and down with the remote. Some say it can't be done with VCDS, others say it can, and then others say you need to buy a one hit programmer to flash the ECU. Question is, has anyone actually done this with VAGCOM? I have a copy of VCDS and have just orde...

Re: Failed auto dimming rear view mirror
Yeah the switch is a nice addition. I have the W8 light as well which has 2 LED's in it so 4 altogether. Gives a really nice glow to the interior in the dark. I will be putting my old mirror on ebay but wanted to offer it to someone on here first. I am hoping to get about half what the new one cost ...

Re: Failed auto dimming rear view mirror
Alright guys, I liked the idea of having the mirror with the switch and LED's (which RUM4MO bought) so bought one from the dealer. The price I was quoted was £165. including vat!! I managed to get the price down to £150 with a bit of haggling and after plugging it in it all works as it should. :-P...

Yup, My one started to do this about a year ago so before its MOT in June this year, I bought a new one from VW. My car is a 2000MY B5, but I ordered in a later mirror so that I could get one with an ON/OFF switch (to have the best of both worlds) - and it comes with a couple of red LED "downl...

Re: 15's on b5.5 sport???
Thanks for the replys lads.
I changed my front discs and pads last year and I'm sure they were 312mm so will have to go 16 or bigger.
If anyone has a set of 16inch wheels going spare and cheap I might be interested.

15's on b5.5 sport???
As title really....will 15 inch wheels fit on a 2002 TDI sport, or will they rub the brake caliper or something?
I want to take my original 16's off and refurb them, so looking to buy a cheap set of wheels and tyres to use for a few days.
