yea as lee says, u need to heat up the glue or if u try to get them apart without doin so ull wreck the housing and the lense (like id did with a spare set i got ).

im goin to keep an eye out for a second hand set of gen ones but if not ill be buyin a set like them by the end of the summer.

looks very nice ;)

was goin to say looks sweet but those rear pipes/lowwer sills paint dont look standard?
and reminds me just how high mine is standard, how u findin the ap coils?

had mine a while now and even tho its an auto, i normaly get bout 24-26. the most ive seen is 34 and that when i was drivin bk from buyin it , and when using the trip shift to get little boy racers off my bumper ive seen as much as 9

if it was me id have an S6 avant look the nuts. but then the phaeton is a good shout, for the money and for be differant.

209 isnt a bad price for coils on a b5, dont surpose thats for the v6 estate

nice, dont surpose uve got the part number mate?

the leanses look like they should come off as i had a look at mine the other day. but once i took off the metal clips the glass is still held in with some sort of tap and i dont think u can get them off with out makin a rite mess of the plastic housin they sit in. someone mit have found a good way ...

well you can buy all red v6 ones from the stealers or even half red, half black ones (ie: black at the top, red at the bottom) i know as they sent me the half & half ones when i order all red to replace my broken ones!

cheers guys, think ill just be keepin an eye out for someone breaking a b5.5 with them and get them second hand. and i was think of doin the blankin off of the wing mounted indicators (untill i had the cash for a trip to the bodyshop) with the original indicators modded to hold V6 letters. so thats ...

alrite mate, yes curise can be fit and brought from the dealer i think?
as for induction id go for bmc if ur not willin to cut the box to do the coam mod. and exhusts are hard to cum buy, one of the other v6 onwers was sellin his a while bk other than that it a custom job i afraid.

cool, yea i was goin to wire them up with the wing mounted one untill i can aford to have them flushed out.
will them be a straight fit onto a b5 or will there be some moddin needed? and any idea how much the stealer would want for a set?

alrite guys ive been writing the list of bits i want for the v6 and one mod id like to do if i can is to fit a set of newer style of vag wing mirrors with indicators biult in? got the idea from reading a thread bout fittin lupo ones onto a b5 base, has anyone done it or know witch mirrors (ie; mk5/6 ...

how much dose the stealer want for a set with indicators mate? bet it alot!!!

welcome to v6 ownership, and i had the same idea to pair my vr rado with a family v6 estate.

not sure if u need a hole w8 bumper or just the lowwer half, im sure ive seen it in a thread somwhere or one of the others will correct me in a min.

ive heard a few peolpe say that but ive had the v6 since aug 08 and this is the first time ive seen the oil drop at all, and i check it every 2wks when i give it the once over/clean?

rite ive been and got sum Synta Gold but b4 i went to put it in i had a thought, dose it matter if i mix the gold with the oil already in there? as i dont know what grade it is, whenive put oil in my old satt, rado or golfs its been as a sevice? so is it ok to mix grades and makes of oil?

so i shouldnt use the 10/40 ive got from when i had the 1.8T then?

i no its been done befor and theres a thread somwehere ive seen, but i cant find it. so could someone do me a link or just suggest some oil for my v6?
thanks dave
