I had the same issue as you, not a 4 motion but my B6 was on standard, then Fk coilovers , but the new addition to the family meant changing for something a little more comfy, without breaking the bank! So I ordered a set of eibach pro kit springs, 4 trw strengthened drop links, poly bushes and bils...

Got an7 pictures? You can remove the top armrest peice to look closely at the mechanism, take off the rear panel with the vent/ashtray and you can then remove the top part that you lean on. There are two metal arms that slide into the sleeves you should be able to see when the rear trim is removed

It's a possibility, I have messaged the chap who works at the garage who fitted them just to check what part of the rear hub / calipers he touched but I do know that the lower rear strut bolt is completely seized so he's fitting a new rear near side hub on Tuesday with the actual coilover shock as a...

Thanks Richard hopefully it's just that then and needs to dry, will Park on an incline outside :) hopefully it's not a faulty ABS sensor, surely it wouldn't be working at all for me to need a replacement module but it's never that simple lol! Also thanks Greg and goldfazer, I might be popping down t...

P.s auto hold is now not activating

Need some assistance guys as I have researched this fault and apparently it's common on early vag chassis! Was driving to work this morning after car has been lowered on coilies on Friday, it was pouring down, doing 70 on motorway and then parking brake fault light and message came up along with ABS...

Hey mate I have a 1.9 s model which after about 5 months I fitted full armrest with custom leather. Just missed having an armrest too much lol, its not too difficult just got to remove current one and replace with centre console that has armrest and sliding cup holder ;)

I will also be taking on this job soon, bought 10m of cable, adapters from eBay, vibe air components speakers and also the wiring harnesses for each speaker - oem wiring to aftermarket speakers how much would an auto electrician charge?

That's awesome brucieboy, I'm not that great ;)

Hey pal I will do this for you might not be for another day or two nice passat aswell!

Look on YouTube at golf mk5 cruise retrofit, tells you the procedure, you have to strip off steering wheel to gain access to slip ring and lower steering module, then you need to remove wipers and trim in engine bay to gain access to ecu where a pin is inserted there :) I had a quote of £150 for ki...

The vw 'scandal' was just taken too far by the media, the knock on effect it has had on the automotive sector is huge, I have experienced this first hand as I was a contractor for an oem hoping to secure a position with the interior design team but then told to pack my bags pretty much. As a graduat...

Hey mate the exterior plastic trims on the bottom of the doors can be painted, but need to be sanded, prepped then painted in same basecoat

Hey Jaraz, thanks however a guy on the fb forum said he will do it in Bristol just as it's not as far to travel with the little one, do you have any info on what he needs to check in vcds to activate coming \leaving home lights, Auto lock after 10mph and indicators as drls? I have no idea where to s...

Hey guys wondering if anyone knows if the vcds tweeks like coming/leaving home lights, locking, indicators as drls etc can be done on an 's' model passat? Basically I don't have highline cecm or anything so wondered if it's still possible to activate that stuff with a standard trim level? Cheeers

Hey guys hopefully will get round to this in the next week and will order the kufatec harness for seat wiring. Just wondered if anyone has done this yet? Swapped my standard s interior to sport interior seats so need to add heated option and movement to drivers seat. Does the kufatec come with instr...

Cheers for the help guys will get on vcds ;)

Welcome to the forum mate, theres tonnes of info on here for mods and inspiration!! Very tidy example you have there ;)

Hey chaps wondering if anyone can shed some light on this, in the summer my B6 started rough on turnover. Now it does it every time i start the car. Always fires up but instead of a smooth transition, when i push the key in its quite harsh and a slight jolt before it starts, its getting to the point...

Lovely ssat mate!!!

I was looking at the lemforder ones mate above the ocap,

i managed to find 2 lemforder rear bush's in the alloy housing on flebay for £20 delivered. going to buy the front bush's from euro's as they are cheap enough and do the job this week.
