Well after owning my Pug for 3 months now i have to say i would not go back to a petrol, Filled it on thursday, $46 Hehehehe. Done 980Km so far,(150Km of that was towing my boat) and still have 1/4 of a tank left, They are the best on long trips, loads of tourqe, they dont have to rev, they are so quiet, cruise up big hills at 2000rpm, and you can tow anything with them, Only down side is RUC, and a little bit extra for Rego, I don't think it would be worth it if you only did say 10,000 km a year, but i average 40,000km +. Its clean burning, no smoke whats so ever, hell the oil doesn't even turn black, thats how clean it is.

Hey there.Here is a diagram: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...hg=33&fg=30 Start by jacking the vehicle up and removing both rear wheels, then remove arm #13 at the ball joint end, then prosed to remove the faulty arm #17. you will need good spanners, then will need to pop out the ball joints from the hub by tapping it with a hammer. upon reinstalling the arms you need to leave the ends with the rubber bushes finger tight, then refit wheels, and then whilst the vehicle is on the ground tighten up the bolts, this stops the bushes being loaded up when the vehicle is sitting flat on the ground, if you do not do this you can expect the bushes to fail 10x quicker. But dude, If you are not happy with doing it yourself a good mechanic should only charge you 1-1.5 hours labour and an alignment. also re your manual did you just want a owners manual? I have a pdf version if you would like it

Mine was a 2000 passat sedan, in white 1.8t. it has done 200,000km + now with the new owners and still no worries, (i did 80,000km) and replaced one suspension arm, replaced tires, and serviced.

make sure the cambelt, and tesnioners/idlers/seals/waterpump has being done. they are due every 60,000km due to crap tensioners.

Wow, Cheap car dude, Nice looking to, good luck with sale.

The upper suspension arm at the rear of the vehicle? PM Me

I sell a bypass-box for the faulty occupancy sensor, just means that in the event of a crash, the passenger airbags will be triggered even with the seat empty, but hey if the accident it bad enough to set of an airbag the insurance company can keep the car

Am interested in Diff, Where are you located

Wow, Now that would be cool

There is one under for sale section for $150
