Hey there - just wanted to say hi - I'm a previous B5 Passat owner and have switched over to the dark side

I have a 2000 1.6 GLXi nothing to light up about I know - but its four wheels and starts and stops

I've done a fair amount to the passat in the past, specifically B5 to B5.5 MFA cluster replacement, B5.5 MFA > FIS install, tinted windows, upsoluted 110bhp to 130+bhp (never really found out, but was sooo much more drivable!), CarPC a few years ago, etc etc my moto is keep it looking like a nice stock car

Done me first tweak on the octy - Handbrake Knob rattle :p

Cluster needs attention, looks like its suffering from the regulator issues, but seems like a good excuse to go for a facelift cluster seeing as they are cheap as chips :p

Anyone have any ideas on online/cd based paid for workshop manuals - I'm fed up oiling up my haynes manuals and they are far too generic for my liking

Cheers All
