UKPassats

I've seen B6 sport with cloth interior and they've been listed as having heated seats, is this a mistake in the listing then? I was under the impression this was an optional extra? I don't want to spend more than £7000, but that depends on Christmas throwing no surprises. I'm still torn between a p...

I'm currently driving a 2002 B5.5 1.9TDi 130 sportline automatic estate. It's got 146,000 on the clock and is on -40mm springs. I'm thinking of going for a change but want some advice. I'm toying with the idea of a B6 2.0TDi 170. I have heard some curious things about the B6 though, some horror stor...

If it's any help I have a pair of Coilovers for the vmV6 4motion sitting in my loft. They're Weitech and I only have for the front. They were fitted to a car for about 3 weeks from new.

dazzler, I was in no way having a dig at you, I really didn't mean it to come across that way.

ye you only see them when they are out to make money from us the honest motorist :( You're not serious, right?? Have a think why a number plate may need to be cleaned. Can't read the number plate means can't check if car is stolen, has insurance, has tax etc etc.... Also, random checks are a good w...

Dunno if they have yet, I think they want to see if he'll reply first. Apparently he's done similar on other forums, there's some links in that link.

Since becoming an owner of a Golf I've neglected Passats, I forgot just how good looking the B5's are. I want another one now dammit!!

My mates car has just been nicked from the Milton Keynes area. It's a silver Corrado lowered on G60 steel wheels. If you have any info please PM me.

It seems since my original post the new Passat has been put on vw.co.uk


Also, the front end on the saloon seems to be the front end on the estate too.

I'm not too sure, the pics of the saloon are the official release from the Paris Motor show and the ones found in the magazine, the estate ones are pics I found when I googled it. Incidentally, just stumbled upon this... http://www.testdriven.co.uk/prices-announced-for-new-2011-vw-passat-available-t...

Mrs Doobie wants to buy one of these as she reckons it would be worth it to get me up in the morning....

Added bonus of getting to sleep in the car...

This was unveiled at the Paris motor show apparently and is 4mm longer than the B6. It has heated/cooled seats with a massage function for both front seats. Petrol engines include a 1.4 TSI with 122PS, a 1.8TSI with 160PS, a 2.0TSI with 210PS and a 3.6 V6 with 300PS. Diesel include a 1.6TDI with 105...

It may look like a new C-class, but it is in fact the Passat

Got some more shots.




And the estate.

Just seen a pic in the VW Golf magazine and frankly IT'S GORGEOUS....

Not my cup of tea...

I love the rat look, think it comes from me deep set love of rat rods. There's a guy I've seen around had a brand new transporter that was nicked and burnt out. Someone bought it of of him with the idea of fitting everything from his brand new one to it to make a rat. Genius. I know it's not for eve...

It wasn't colour concept, it was a really dark blue and was not in a great way. I have just bought a Mk3 16v GTi with a full years MOT, 6 months tax and 102,000 miles on the clock. It's a 5 door in Dragon Green. Picking it up tomorrow. The plan is I'll drive it for 6 months to a year while I wait fo...

Don't the new Fiat 500's come with legal pressed metal plates? The dealer fits the plates. Forgive me my ignorance, but does a dealer fit plate conform to different rules? I only ask because I really like the look of pressed plates, but don't want the hassle that comes with anything illegal on a ca...

Is it me or is the Audi grill wonky? Also, why smooth in a bumper, that just causes trouble in every situation, plus when it flexes at any type of speed it will crack,

I'm not a fan and it just looks quite badly carried out work overall. Hmmmmm, I won't be buying that one I feel.

I'm actually looking at three golf's... I know, I know, they're not Passats..... I'm arguing with the insurance company over price, but need a car to drive until it's all sorted, thought i'd get a mk3 Golf in the interim until the money is paid out and I can afford something more permanent. First is...

Don't the new Fiat 500's come with legal pressed metal plates?

They reckon the car has £850 knocked off of it because it has 190,000 miles, and that 80,000 miles would be expected of a car of that age.

So, the insurance company rang me today to give me an offer on my car. My car that I paid £1700 for in June of this year and was written off through literally no fault of my own. They've offered me £960 for the car as it is an uneconomical write off. Which is a massive kick in the nuts as a lot of...

How hard would it to fit a heated interior into a car that did not have it out of the factory? I understand that the loom would probably be ready to receive it, but would it just be a case of fitting it and plugging it in?? I understand there are aftermarket kits for this too that go in underneath t...
