:lol: my bad,should've mentioned p'shop brakes too....sorry all

:lol: ah yes!! never though to mention the p/shopped brakes too,sorry to get you all exited boys and girls(my bad)

a kind member from another forum did me a p/shop of my wheels onto my galaxy http://img442.imageshack.us/img442/5863/brembo1n.jpg looks better than it will when i DO fit my wheels

I wouldn't put a petrol g/box in a diesel(without checking the final drive ratios anyway),i tried it in my passat(auto)and the final drive ratios were all wrong an it was pulling 3500rpm at about 65mph...

i know it's not quite a galaxy but...my friend had apex springs on his passat and was very impressed by them although the yellow coating soon goes flakey on them :)

hi matey,it could be the comfort control module(or ccm for short)which is fixed under the carpet-under the passenger seat...it can suffer from water ingress caused by either blocked sunroof drain holes or blocked plenum drains(under the bonnet in the far corners)..... or it could be broken wiring where the wiring runs through the doors to the main body of the car?? let us know if any of these are the case :)

here's some pic's of my wind deflecters and my 8x17 wheels(just to get some idea of what they'd look like) http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/004-27.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/DSCN3059.jpg

i got some heko ones for mine,they do the job fine and don't seem to add any noise at all,in fact they cut the noise down when the windows are open http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/004-27.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/001-24.jpg

i like to try and keep my cars presentable....but £200 on cleaning gear?? that seems like ocd..obsessive cleaning disorder to me. a decent polish and wax bought once a year seems to keep my cars in check(and i have 3 children) my old passat looked like this...(after a quick wash and polish) http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/005-17.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/048-1.jpg

Here as promised,my heko wind deflectors http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/001-24.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/004-27.jpg

i got me some of them there wind deflectors,look good and do the job great!! pic's when i have time :P

If it only does it on full lock i would suspect it's just the power steering pump having a grumble at being worked so hard,try not to do it for long periods as it is just trying to do it's job,but it is at maximum load under a lot of pressure on full lock... hope this helps?? p.s. nowt to worry about as long as there is no fluid loss?

me..slightly drunk at a wedding,the slight squint is intentional....the double chin is not http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/043-2.jpg and what i look like when i'm not at weddings http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/022-3.jpg and in fancy dress http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/DSCN1879.jpg

s-reg passat tdi will be a B5 model and will also be front wheel drive(not rear)the engines in passats came in 90bhp and 110bhp(i believe that most mk1 galaxy's are 90bhp)and are indeed the same AFN code engines but for a bit of fun try to get a 110 bhp...the manifolds might be different but as far as i can see the engines are the same.. good luck and i hope this helps :)

passat wheels will fit..... :)

few pic's of my beloved passat :rolleyes: http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/007-16.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/041.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/021-6.jpg http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/?action=view&current=010-9.jpg

any pic's of wood trim bits please matey??.... i find pictures help shift bits quicker :rolleyes:

if i ever get shut of some of my passat parts i may well have these....goes to put more ads on :rolleyes: .

no water flows around the air-con matey(only gas),what you might be seeing is the ice build up on the air-con pipes melting causing a wet patch under your car....have you topped up your water/anti-freeze mix, as this mixture also acts as a summer coolant??also system will probably need bleeding if it's been run low or dry to eliminate air locks hope this helps and good luck :(

where in the world are you matey?? have you got pic's of actual bits please...been bitten before sorry for any offence :(

i had a boost guage plumbed into my passat 110 bhp(AFN engine),it worked well and could keep an eye on things under the bonnet a bit better...BUT get a decent gauge,i went cheap and the constant buzz of the cheaper gauge nearly did me in?

just thought i'd say hi and put up some pic's of my Galaxy mileage Galaxy Ghia X got a foot spa in the passenger footwell(going to check all drainage/plenum areas as soon as it stops raining)i already have it chipped some 8X17's and smoked side repeaters for it....lowering to follow. http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/003-24.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/006-20.jpg http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh287/stylin-passat/005-24.jpg
