Interesting brake upgrade. Did you get any brake hoses??

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'

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.

I will have a look.

Quite like the OE look when freshend up

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...

I was meaning to but I have no energy..

My work have a trade stand there today too

Picked up the car today, pretty haopy with it. There is a few niggly bits but I will start a thread. There are a few paint marks that will need sorting. Car comes with a Blaupunkt tape player and cd changer, gonna change this to somethibg a tad more modern, its very dated. Inside is clean but it nee...

Sweet sounds good to me. If i had a laptop instead of macbook id get it myself.

Needs to be a version like bmw carly app for phones

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...

By the way looking on Google, it is 115bhp 85kw. Never come across the ATJ code before. Could be quite rare??? I think your on to a winner. [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It seems to have only gone in to the later models, I will try get more infro once I have the car. I've asked if cen...

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 a...

Half the reason I snapped it up, shame its not a 130 but it has a whole bunch of receipts and looks clean as possible for the age.

Some photos I have been sent on Whats App today.. https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8095/29449173422_ea85c50da7_c.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8487/29524629256_0e62b053d2_c.jpg https://c6.staticflickr.com/9/8254/28935625493_a478fe3a3e_c.jpg [url=https://flic.kr/p/L5YBJF] https://c8.staticflickr.com...

I'm not familiar with ATJ but it might be a case of just two 3mm blanks ?

If so ebay .

Yeah it's a PD engine.

Will have a look around today, going to VRT for a map soon, will see what they thing.

From what I have seen online it looks like 115 but theres always a few variations. Who knows

Wheres a good place to buy EGR delete kit from. Darkside?

Just got him to send photo of the sticker under spare wheel.

Has the ATJ engine so its 114 bhp / 85KW

I can live with that.

How can I get the guy to confirm its atleast the 115

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 (a...
