    Will a OEM B5 roof rack fit on a b6?
    If not, is it close enough that I could slightly modify it?
    A friend is giving me the rack off his b5 for free but he lives over 2hrs away.

    I would say probably not. The roof profiles of a B5 and B6 are pretty different.

    I've used a 2001 VW Passat B5.5 rack on a B5 A4, which are closer in profile, as far as roofs go, and even then, I had to do a lot to get it to fit securely.

    I know the brakes needs a fluid refresh every 2 years, but not sure about the power steering fluid. It says 4 years, but does it extend the life further if I do it at 2 years?
