    Basically when I found out I could buy something that not only had working A/C but a turbo and a manual for under 1k I created a time void and bought this ugly lil duckling. Here we are, the start of our Ninth month together and I'll be damned if I'm not rooting for the ugly bitch. Hi, I'm...

    Good night everyone. I had a nice time with VCDS Lite this evening, looks like my 0 DTC goal - paranoia is showing results! Except for the rear right door lock module, the DTC popped out by Climatronic sounds kinda new and I'd like to work on it. I've been googling around for some time...

    Last friday the v6 stopped as i were to drive of from a local store. I managed to pull up on a kerb before it died completely. I had it brought home on a flat bed to warm it up in my garage over night (temperature had dropped that day from -1 'C to -9'C). Figured there was water in the fuel...

    Hi My car is very slow to reach operating temps. Did the CTS replace a year or 2ago. That was a bugger as my clip was clearly put on with the motor out of the car, but I got it. So am I looking at a faulty thermostat or perhaps a clogging heater core or.... Thanks 03 1.8T Passat Wagon 03 TDI...

    I guess the title says everything. I have already removed those two silly plastic caps but all I see are two silly pins. How do I get access to the CCM on a 98/99 B5 Sedan?? Thanks!!

    So a few days ago my sub started to just stop pounding, i guess, as soon as i hit 18 on the volume dial while on the radio and 16 on the volume dial while playing a cd. the sub plays lightly when i am lower then these volumes but as soon as i hit these volumes it completely cuts out. can any...

    I was able to retorque (20 Nm) the first knock sensor between cylinder 1 and 2 but could not find a way to reach the one between cylinder 3 and 4. Is there a way without removing the IM and other stuff below there? Thanks! BTW the engine is a '99 1.8T eurospec.

    Those of you with the 1.8's out there, how long does it typically take from starting the car cold to the engine temp to reach mid-dial (I presume this is normla op temp - my thermostat needs replacing as it never gets out of the cold, need to know this for when I replace it!)? I'm assuming...

    So I took the side panel off, and there's no way my hand fits in there to pull out relay 173. Matter of fact I could barely see the 3 in 173, it's way back there. To those with the B5, how did you do it?
