Disconnecting battery between use to avoid a flat battery

Hello, I've had mine for nearly 4 years now. One of the problems I have is the lack of regular use as I'm out of the country a lot. Eventually, I got a bit hacked off with using a booster pack starter to get her going all the time, and decided to put a negative battery break-switch. Sadly I have no ...

No interior lights & intermittent instruments

Hello, my B5 went in for a 'routine' service at 121k miles recently and came out with some fresh cams, brakes, valves, sump case, pipes, brackets and an extra 0 on the end of the bill. However it also came back with 620 torques which I'm very happy with, so rough with the smooth and all that. After ...

FIXED: B5 Rear wiper intermittent with new motor... :(

For anyone else who needs this solution... The electrical contact plate inside the wiper was covered in grease. Taking the cover off the unit, and then cleaning the plate fixed the problem.

Re: Whispbar Roof Bars and THule 591 - pics

Wanna know something interesting. I was looking for some bars for my B5 and ended up buying some Whispbars like yours. But in my searches I revealed some copies on eBay, and if you look down to the bottom, do you recognise some of those pictures? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Roof-Rack-Wing-Aero-Cross-B...

B5 Rear wiper intermittent with new motor... :(

So first thing to fix on the new toy was the rear wiper which didn't work at all. I had it apart and it was rusted to sh!t, so I bought a replacement motor from eBay which had come from an A3. It had the same valeo part number. Plugged it in and this is what happens: mCtFNlOHRVM Better than it was (...
