Tom Booth Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 My 1.9tdi 105ps passat pulls well, bags of torque and I suppose you could say is kinda fun to drive. Even with 2 bikes on the roof,a boot full of gear and 9j+10j wheels on the back it gets atleast 55mpg on a run. Last summer I came back from the vw festival following my dad in the camper at 60-65mph, it managed 68mpg! That was verified by fuel reciepts too,not just the onboard computer. Mad amounts of space, epic comfort and as many gadgets as you want/don't want. I picked up my ex rep mobile with a few scuffs inside for mad money.

Pete.M Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Found out today that it's relatively cheap to get custom adjustable Gaz dampers made up, so it's bye bye knackered Bilsteins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 yea, killed another box Mike,Diff bolts making a break for freedom, either come loose or one has snapped, not sure until it's stripped down.Trans locked up on my at low speeds and released itself with a BANG, casing is cracked inside the bell housing and oil is full of metal particles.RIP box #7. Long live box #8! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) How much do they charge roughly? For my car I was quoted £80 excluding VAT and carriage per front insert with adjustable rebound, and £55 per rear with adjustable bump and rebound. I just want rears, so that beats getting the Bilsteins rebuilt for £80 each! EDIT: I still need to get tracking done after lowering the car, but I have a feeling I'm just going to be told to buy new track rod ends since the current ones are so rusty.
