First off, the factory passat exhaust manifold fits the motor in the fox chassis but the downpipe takes some tricky fabrication.
It's fixed I have heat thanks to all yous, I flushed the heater core both ways low and behold I have heat.
The AXW head is very decent for bone stock/OEM numbers, especially when you factor how much work and money you put into a 1.8/2.0/ABF head to 'maybe' get close to those flow numbers.
Yes,as long as both heads match each other. The diameter of the valve's heads between a 1500 and 1600SP are ever so slightly different,so leaving an old 1500 head on one side of the engine and putting a new 1600SP head on the other side might change the intake flow characteristics,making 1/2 the engine work easier or harder than the other,kinda unbalancing the engine as a whole which could put more stress on the internals shortening it's overall life,like someone walking with a limp messes up their spine over time. It's always best to replace just one with an exact match to the other or upgrade both at the same time .
The R32 brakes are A LOT better. You'll like them!!
I've slacked on some maintenance, but did the timing belt and oil changes and I have 131k and still running strong.
OEM W8 shocks (yes, they work, and have for at least 50k so far and not blown )
i threw a 2nd cel had it scanned, the scan said \"knock sensor implausable signal spurratic\" had it cleared about 7,100 it came back on, had the senor replaced...
I have a bit of a rip (about 4" long) in my RIGHT front wheel well fender (rubbery part) directly behind the front right wheel. Should I not worry about it, or should I get it replaced?
From reading on the B6 Forum...the B6 has something that the B5's sure don't....V6 engines that die sudden deaths from oil pump bolt failures!
