Hi guys, thank you for your time viewing my post. I recently purchased a VW Passat 1.9 TDI v reg (1999) 110bhp. After looking at some of the sticky posts I believe it is a B5 model. The car did not come with a hand book so I'm here trying to figure out a problem. I tried searching google and...

New to the forums... I've found a source for the right underside rocker molding for my 2007 sedan (~$100.... if anyone knows of somewhere cheaper, maybe help me out? :) ) On the forums, I've seen help for replacing the molding for a B5, but nothing for a B6, so any and all help would be greatly...

I "painted" the rockers panels of my Passat in photoshop - tried to imitate the GLI - not bad (I think)! * Lowered with H&R springs (Stock strut/shocks) - rides great.

Got new engine installed after completely knackering old 2008 2.0 TDi Highline. Having episodes of white smoke, and finally noticed a small crack in the rocker cover. I've failed miserably so far trying to find out where I can source this as every time I search the web all I get is hits for the...

Yes due to my car ending up with 10 gallons of water in passenger side I'm looking for a Black Carpet , underpads , and interior Rocker Trim for my 2003 GLX 4Motion Wagon... Prefer in NJ,PA,NY,CT areas as I'll help or remove ... Thank-You :wrench::banghead::cry:

I bought my 99 B5 last September, and the guy I bought it from(owns his own auto body and paint shop) painted the rocker panels and other black accents around the base of the car... at the time, I really liked it, as it made the car look "whole." Now, as I am realizing... that paint does not...

Hi, looks like my rocker cover gaskets are leaking any tips for successful fitting? As they are rubber I presume they go on 'dry' after cleaning up the mating surfaces with something like petrol ? Thanks, Alec

I keep on cleaning and washing and it keeps coming back !!? Any advice on how to get rid of it once and for all?

My passanger side front door lower molding and rocker molding were damaged. I ordered new moldings from Drew (THANKS), but wasn't sure on the install. Do the existing moldings just pop off? And then I assume the new moldings just "pop -on"? There look to be a couple screws in each wheel...

When I bought my car, I noticed that there seemed to be a small piece missing on both sides of the rocker panels. It seems like there's supposed to be some sort of plastic cover that snaps in where the jack points are, but mine were nowhere to be found. I've noticed quite a few other B5's that...

:cry: Lots of weather related road damage around here. I just had a big chunk of loose asphalt flip up and hit my lower rocker panel trimwork when I drove over it. :( The rockers are the black plastic trim that runs just below the doors on the sides. My question is has anyone replaced this...
