New B5 owner

[zerofighter]

Hey everyone,

New to the site...kinda lol.

Here are some pics of my new car, a hopped up passat!

2000 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro
180k, manual, slow as ****, well it actually might be a bit quicker than my e90 323 lol

Here is a quick blog that I set up for my DIY and maintenance adventures with the car; http://pearsonchung.blogspot.com/


Few questions;
-Does anyone have a VAG-com or code scanner? I just replaced my valve cover gasket and everything was fine, then after maybe 50km, a CEL came on.
-Who has radio removal tools?
-Cheapest place to buy coilpacks and spark plugs?

I will throw a few bucks to the people who scan my car or let me borrow the radio removal tools!

I run a small business out of my garage. I can get you a good price on CP's and plugs. I can also remove your radio for you and scan your ECU. PM me if interested.

There should be write ups on quattroworld or audiworld on making your own radio removal tools... pretty straight forward

Same as nothing77, I can scan your car as well. PM me if you want. Also, I have a 98 B5 Passat so I'm well acquainted with a lot of your vehicle. I also have most of the Bentley manual for your car. So PM me any questions you may have. Welcome to the boards.

Thanks. Might have to borrow a manual for wheel bearing, although, it should be pretty straight forward. Just gotta find someone with a press to push the bearing out.

Thanks again to Ryan for the scan!
