Thank yous guys for every little help. But things doesn't get any better, I went online to see if I could get a days insurance but don't really know if they give you an actual certificate of motor insurance or do they give you an cover note? But the downside is will the post office accept cover note...

Right you've kinda lost me so the part where he signs and dates, shouldn't he put my others half names cause she's the register keeper? Or do you mean, fill out everything with her name then the section 6 (green slip ) I just take and tippex it with my name? Before going to the post office.

how are you doing guys and gals! right quick question, planning to buy a car this weekend for the other half birthday (that she doesn't know about). i've contacted the seller and he told me he has sorn the car a few days ago.

Guys and girls after being on this site for 4 years i must say i've met a lot of pals and learnt a lot of stuff. But the time his come and it's time to break the Passat up. Right to start things off i had the oil light coming on and off and i suspect the oil pump is on it's last legs, So thought it ...

Thanks lads for every little help.

I thought about changing to a b5.5 but looking at it just looks the same as my current b5 and the new b6 has far too much problems which put me right off.

How new do you want it to be ? I would stay with a diesel and tune it a bit, the PD engine still returns decent economy even with a stage 2/3 of tuning ! If it's the newer b7 audi then yes, they were riddled with problems so you have a reason to stay away ! For me a nicely done b6 a4 avant will do ...

Something that i could fit my golf clubs in and comfortable to drive back and forward. i do approx 36 miles a day

Hi guys still in a hunt for a new car, I've got 5k budget but can't decide what car to look I should go for. Was looking into Audi a4 b6 2.0 fsi (thought its a good idea to go for an fsi in the long run in case of any turbo problems). anyone had any expericence with these machines and what the runni...

Wait a bit and buy passat CC, or passat B7. If I was you, would stop messin around and get Phaeton!

Think i should make a sponsor section then if i was to buy a Phaeton

Thanks for everyones reply. Been trying hard to avoid the Passat B6's cause recently read a forum that a guy parked his car up a hill then the automatic handbrake failed which made his car roll into someone else car. (thats the last thing i want the b6 to happen) so last week i've been looking into ...

Thanks for everyone's comments!!! Really loved the Passat B6 space and looks wise, but at the end of the day I want something reliable without burning a hole in my wallet.
Any other cars yous guys would recommend me?
Audi b7 I actually quite like, but the price of them are above my budget!

Jk see when you a free recall from Vw is that regardless how many miles on the car and how old!!!! Was looking at one around 05 -56 plate and most of them are over 100k miles And guys ain't the 1.9tdi only 105bhp and comes with a 5speed gearbox? Don't want to downgrade in power as my B5 125bhp and I...

Guys/gals after owning my b5 for 8years it was coming to the stage where it costing me ££££ So I was on a hunt to look for a newer Passat B6 had to be a diesel and preferably a 2.0 tdi and under 6 grand.But now am slowly changing my mind to try and buy something more reliable. Heard the injector...

Hmmmm thanks!!! Should I take it to another garage and let them do a oil pressure test to make sure?

Right guy, the past few months my 1.8 apt non turbo passat was making a rattle noise (like a diesel car when cold) once the car was drivin more than a couple of minutes it was fine!!!! The noise would just go away. So on Sunday i gave the car to my pal to drive and when he return it,he said the oil ...

But went on the castrol website and it say i should be using castrol edge 5w 30 which is around £47 for 4litres. what do yo...

might be the bearing?

I got the two rear shockers top mount sorted a few months back, Rear tyres are just budget's and handles quite well when i first got them 5 months ago.
