B5.5 TDi estate,bagg'd and interior done

Post by D3NUM »

Been a member on here for a while now as was looking to buy a passat and finally picked up this one at the end of last year ( I know ages ago lol ) Got it cheap enough as had a running fault and no drive :(

So had loads of plans but due to work issues these have been ages in getting started but i eventually found the running fault which was a worn cam :( so decided to replace head gasket,cam,tappets,cam shells,t/belt kit,water pump and injector seals and finally got it all finished during the week :D

Also removed the gearbox to check out the drive issue and found the clutch was knackered ( as thought ) so just renewed clutch kit,dual mass flywheel and rear crank seal/housing while I was at it as it had a small leak. Gave the car a wee tidy up,renewed the rear lights,number plate lights and fitted HID kit I had lying about and fitted a set of borrowed wheels on it and sent it up for its MOT today and it passed so well chuffed :)

Over the last few months I have however bought bits and pieces for the car so hopefully by the weekend I will update more :D still have big plans for the car but just extended my timeframe for completion :)
