Is it possible to find out how many 8v's were produced in classic green?

Don't suppose you would sell the front bumper lower grille seperate?

Don't get me wrong mate, It only seems to be the 2.0 BKP engines that get the bad comments, all the other engines seem to fair well and the 1.9 tdi seems to be about the best, but they also have the VW premium. Good look with your search anyway.

Why was it the worst car? What was wrong with it? I'm surprised by that if I'm honest... :? It surprised me too but if you do a google search on the passat B6 2.0 TDI (BKP engine) you'll see what i mean. Loads of common problems that cost lots to fix and VW won't recall them as they are not classed as safety issues. Just a quick few of the top of my haed - Ignition control module, really common problem and around 1K to fix. VW have now managed to reduce it to around £300 somehow after 1000's of complaints. Oil pump failiure also VERY common on the BKP engine and again around 1K to fix. It can also lead to turbo problems at around £600 to replace. Rear electronic brake is nothing but trouble and the interior build quality is very bad. Its a nice car to drive when its going though :lol: Personally i think the Astra is a much better car and i've always had VW's in the past, and present actually as i still have the 8v.

I have a 55 plate Astra Estate 1.7 CDTI and i cant really complain about anythin on it. Upto now its been really reliable and decent to drive with good MPG and only £110 for 12 months road tax. I've had it for about 18 months. Slightly off subject but i've just got rid of a 2005 Passat 2.0 TDI Passat. Just 5 yrears old with full VW history - Worst car i have ever owned!!!!!!

Hi all I'm liooking for a late neraside headlight lense & decent reflectior if you have one lying around? I can have it collected from most of the North West area. Cheers

They have a tiny metal clip that holds them up. Maybe thats missing? Mine was, i found one in a Mk3 Golf GTI at the local breakers yard.

Thanks everyone Seems like the blow torch is the way to go I'll let you know how i get on

Allready tried this one :D I mean actually removing the whole thing from the arm..I had to cut the nut of the bottom :) I'll give this a go next..

Hi I'm trying to change the track rod ends, but can i get them off? NO. :scratch: Anyone got any tips on removing them wnen they're proper rusted on? Cheers

My 1991 16v was stolen and never recovered so its probably all over everywhere now, or maybe not it was over 10years ago My current 8v M854 DOU i purchased in Jan this year as a none runner (now a runner) i'm wondering if it has ever belonged to anyone on here? Its first registered keeper was the NHS :) ... Corrado company car.. :D +2 more keepers after this..

Thanks to CazzaVR for the exhaust hangers Arrived within a couple of days of purchase Cheers

Big thanks to duckdown_hoodrat for the exhaust. Perfectly described parts at a really good price and really helpful genuine guy. Cheers.

Wonder if there are any C's out there unregistered?

Wonder if he'd do half the badge for half the price for my 8v? :D

Wouldnt worry about it. looking at history, last one he sold was over 2 years ago for £21 :lol:

Makin me hungry this I had a bit of cheddar and chorizo sausage on one of asda's tiger bread buns for lunch. mmmm, nice
