Alrite chris. Yeah posted this up then saw your merc alloys for sale on fb n realised it was you lol.

Its not something id do personally as i prefer the vw look but if it means i get a free .5 front end then who am i to complain. That estate was stunning. Read quite a few threads on it last nite and does basicly seem straight forward to put a .5 front end onto my 5, hopfully we will get it done in a...

I think hes planning on doing something to the b5 bumper with an audi s4 insert thats easier to do on a b5 rather than a .5. Agh good point didnt think about that.hopfully tho wen we have both cars there itl all become obvious lol.

This has come about because someone iv been talking too is after a front end off a b5 for his 5.5 so sort of a win win situation i was thinking we will just meet up and swap both front ends when the cars are next to each other sort of a one hit wonder,days worth of work both cars swapped over.il do ...

From what iv been told so far its pretty much all just bolt off bolt on apart from something to do with modifying the bonnet latch any knowledge on this? Or other bits i need to be aware of.
cheers your proving to be a very handy bloke to know

Im assuming this has probably been tried/done before just wondering would the whole front end off a b5.5 fit my b5 i no id need wings/headlights/bonnet/radiator support and front bumper.
just wondering is it plug and play.
Probably need to chop headlight wires as mite be different fitment too.

Mines a b5 so seat airbags isnt a problem as far as im aware. I think this weekend il remove my seats and have a proper good look. Iv already removed the plenum drain gromet thing under the battery tray and cleaned out my sunroof drain tubes havent checked door sills yet but plan to do so soon. Woul...

Wow thanks for the detailed response thats a massive help. This is an ongoing problem so iv already taken out the ccm box from under the carpet, inspected wiring for corrosion including where the black and yellow wires go from 1 into 4,all completly dry and intact. Removed the circuit board from the...

Thanks for that will have a look in daylight. Had it pluged into diagnostics again last nite and found 4 faults 2 to do with door switches 1 to do with airbag and 1 to do with convienence control unit which im assuming is something different to the black box under passenger carpet?

Thanks il dig around in daylight tomorow to check the wiring. I was kind of assuming because if i bang the box the hazards stop it would be related to the board itself so mite be worth trying a 2nd hand one just to see if it makes a difference. Havent got any form of scanning the car but i no someon...

So basicly i dont have a remote key so i have to use the drivers door lock to lock/unlock the car each time but recently the key has just been unlocking the drivers door and not the whole car (not a major problem) but been living with it. Now tho its got to the stage where the hazard light keep flas...

Saw a lovly light blue ish b6 very low and on a set of what looked like mercedes monoblock alloys in black. Anyone on here own it? Looks amazing.

Just read your thread on plugs yogi God never knew it was that complex, what make and part number would u recommend I use when I get the ko4 and other parts all installed just to make sure it's running right?

I've seen some low mileage ones on eBay for between 150-400 so not too bad. Mite talk to turbo technics as there based in Northampton like me. Do I need the fuel rail plus injectors and wiring harness or will the injectors fit my Oem rail and harness. Thanks for all your help btw good to get a good ...

Cool thanks for that saves me alot of money as there not cheap. Sounds good il start shopping then and get a nice pile of bits together, thatl be a busy weekend trying to get all that bolted on at once, is it all plug and play regarding injectors? 1st things 1st still need to find my boost leak,rath...

Thanks for the advice guys. Yogi that was very helpful cheers. Budget wise im in no rush to get all the parts and try fit them in 1 weekend as its going to be a case of il get bits as and wen i can afford them il probably do both new and used parts wer possible. So 1st off would be the ko4 then? And...

Hi guys basically wondering is it worth tuning the ko3 up on my b5 1.8t or just upgrade to the ko4 then start tuning?
Also do I need to do bits in a certain order ie. Fmic, 225 bam injectors, de-cat then remap last etc etc thanks for any help.

Silly question but how do i check if my actuator is faulty or not?

From what I have read stock is 0.6 bar 8.7 psi but that's only what I have seen on here and other forums either way I'm well off that.

So simce iv had my passat (about 2weeks now) iv not really felt like its as quick as i thought itd be, had loads of jap turbo cars in the past and theyve all been quite nippy,but the passat just seems lacking a bit. So i ordered a boost gauge not the most expensive but not the cheapest either,read a...

Cheers thanks for that il quote that number wen i soeak to vw later.

Agh that's weird then. Will order a blank 2 button key off eBay and get vw to program it for me. Thanks for all your help Geoff.

Thanks for the advice il phone vw and get a quote hopfully wont be bent over too much

Tried to explain the best i can, this key doesnt unlock my car via the remote lock/unlock feature so if i get a new style flip out key of fleebay is it possible to get it programed so it will lock/unlock my car by the buttons or do i just have to live with using the key in the door? Not sure how els...

Started mine up this morning and the coolant light was on, checked the expansion tank and it was empty however it hasn't overheated at all and haven't seen any signs of a leak, anyone got any ideas where it's going? Bit puzzled...
