  1. Volkswagen Passat B5 Discussion
    I ordered a set of eyelids for my B5.5 and am curious about the fitment. The outer side has a big "tab" that doesn't allow for proper fitment. It looks like you have to remove the headlight and install the eyelid and then reinstall the headlight....BUT, the fender will interfere with the "tab"...

    Hey, I've done my searching but haven't been able to find a clear answer. I'm about to order wheels and needed to know the proper offset for 18x9.5 with a 225/40/18 for the FRONTS. I know et20 will fit in the rear. Quick responses appreciated!

My question is....... will a set of 17x9 5x112 25et fit with my 225/45/17's and stock ride height or should I look for 17x8...

    Perhaps a dumb question, but would some 215 60 16 tires work OK on a 01 Passat wagon? I have a great set of snows in this size and would like to use them, but don't want to be ripping the inner wheel well covers out as I go over bumps. Looks like this tire is 10mm wider than the stock size but...

    Hello Passatworld, So I originally got my car with these Motegi lookalike rims wrapped with the cheapest Firestone tire. 205/60/R15 :icon_eek: While they have been getting me places, I have noticed that they are now getting worn. They are also super bouncy and the tire to rim ratio is...

    I have a stock 2002 B5 FWD with the 1.8T and am looking to dress it up a bit with some new wheels. Interested in closing that gap above the wheels and perhaps pushing the wheels outward a little closer to the fender. I'm looking at a set of 18 x 8.5, ET45's. Will this bolt up without...

    Does anyone know for sure that a v6 alternator will fit in a 1.8 Aeb? Not really concerned about the pulley just the casing and mounting bolts. Just want to see if anyone has done the valeo 90a to Bosch 120a conversion that may have some tips. Thanks in advance everyone!

    So I was looking at upgrading my stock rims and tires to something a bit larger 17 or 18, what would be the best tire size to get? Also I came across a great deal some really good condition 16s mounted with almost new 225/55 winter tires. If they weren't winter tires I would have picked them...

  16. Volkswagen Passat Early B Platforms Discussion
    Does anyone now which parts from my MK3 Jetta or from a B5 Passat would fit on the B4? I know the vents will transfer over. I'm wondering about door cards, dash, etc. I miss my glove box - the B4 doesn't have one! I can open the passenger side air bag easily and I could reove the air bag and...

    I should probably know this by now, as long as Ive been here, but.... I replaced my coolant tank today. On the upper nozzle where the small hose attaches, there is a "fin" that comes up near where the nozzle joins the tank. (See pic) I cannot remember how the old one fit, but is the hose...
