Bren Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 You can come and clean ours. Ours also needs a water pump and timing belt plus new dampers - still cheaper than buying another car which may turn out to be crap. cpjitservices, Aston Martin, HMC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Hunt Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 You've blinged that nice. Now now that is all Shrite and Biney it's ceeentuates that OSF wing. I would not want to be taking a mota to the body shop that fitted that OSf wing. Panel gap is a wide as the runway at Heathro..I'll give them the benefit of the doubt on the flat paint and assume that they managed to get a shine on the fucckker before the lacquer degraded. cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has had a replacmeent wing because of rot, maybe. No the finish is very flat and does need lacquer. Not sure what I am going to do about it yet.

cpjitservices Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Update: Passat has been in the garage £200 lighter, needed new Right hand drive shaft - plus 2 new flexi hoses for brakes! All sorted and ship shape (and no longer dangerous) the flexi's where very bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpjitservices Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Update: Camblet and Waterpump and new Ancilliary belts done. 4 hours time to do, due to rounded off bolts in the crank pulley - and they had to be drilled out. Also, there are two kits for this, one with Hydraulic tensioner and one with Mechanical.. mines the engine with mechanical. But thats not the kit I had. Anyway: Some Pennies later and she's all done! To be fair - looking at the old belt I could of held of for a while yet as it did not show singns of wear. Never can be to careful though.

bunglebus Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I tried to do my cambelt when I got mine - changed my mind when I found those bolts were pretty rounded off. One of the few jobs I now pay someone else to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpjitservices Posted September 28, 2019 Author Share Posted September 28, 2019 An update: running great and has new Head Unit! Easy fit! New stereo has transformed the speakers - I thought they'd blown but turns out, not. PS: In the next couple of weeks that iffy wing will be sorted and matching the rest of this fine, automobile!

WCPGW! Will ask around see whos it is. COuld not get better Photo as phone died! but this is the one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Hunt Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 A wing and a prayer. As tempting as the prayer is, you might be best off winging the Pisshat. on the other hand, that Bee Em could make for an interesting tale, carry on, no place for logic on here cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpjitservices Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 Passat needs new headlight - not bad at £60 for a new one. I must say though, as much as I love this car it's time with me I feel is nearing it's end! I keep looking at C5 Allroads on ebay - I have always wanted one of those so may save for a while. At the moment I have a lot of business meetings, which I keep finding my self parking round the corner! Fantastic car though! Just shy of 3k this month with no problems. Cheap on fuel too. New thermostat needed as it does not get up to temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpjitservices Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 This is the wifes new car, its actually a really good car! She Paid £1,050 for it and it is a pretty good car! Very comfy and so far reliable and drives very nice indeed. I think I need one with a proper boot! We managed to get around 550 miles to a full tank, steady driving on a long run. 2.0 TDCI engine has plenty of power, 140BHP I think it is. I need one of these! jumpingjehovahs and sierraman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
