Re: UKP Club Stands and shows

I will come to some shows next season in the b5, only just picked it up and it's in grandad spec mode currently.

I think some of the owners of the olders cars feel the newer cars get more attention for 'less of a build'

Re: B5 Passat PD115

Maybe I will stick to just using the originals and clean them up.

Changed the front wipers today for a set of Bosch flatblades and had a warning message flash up about brake fluid so topped that up right away.

B5 Passat PD115

Thought I would start a thread on here for the car and see what happens along the way. The car was bought to stick miles on without worrying, but to have some fun with it along the way. Found a car on ebay and picked it up from Stockport on Saturday at the weekend and made the 230+ mile journey back ...

Re: B5 PD115 Estate

Looks like for a 115 bhp there was two different torque outputs , 210 ftlb and 230 ftlb , hope you have the later as more Stage 1 potential . Probably engine code dependant . http://www.upsolute.com/en/chiptuning/db/model/148/volkswagen/passat-b5 I noticed that. This appears to have 230 ftlb Im off ...

Re: B5 PD115 Estate

What a lovely old bus. Don't ruin it! Wheels and possibly a subtle suspension change all that is needed. Your effort will be best rewarded by rectifying any faults and regularly servicing it. Very much a maintenance man, but will be tinerking slightly. Nothing to dramatic, it's my mileage muncher ...

Re: B5 PD130 Estate

In 2000 there wasn't 130hp PD engine I think. Only PD engine in b5 (not 5.5) was with 115hp if I remember right. But it still will be nice car. Ahh I have just looked in to that and youre right. Going by the mileage and condition I can't turn it down. Whats the difference between the 115 and 130 ...
