Thanks for the replies guys. Interesting that the 4 year mark isn't mentioned in the manual. I wander how they'd stand legally if the Cam Belt were to go.

My 2008 Passat is now 4 years old this month and has less than 40k on the clock. I've been advised by VW that the belt needs changing now rather than wait for the 60k mark. They've quoted me £410 which actually isn't too bad and falls in line with a couple of independent quotes I've had. I've never ...

Hi
Proud owner of a B6 Passat.
From the research I've done I believe I have what is known as a Delta model stereo.
I want to connect an Apple I Touch into the unit and believe I do this with a kit which connects into the CD changer socket at the rear of the Head unit
First of all is this correct ...

Just traded in my 02 reg 80000 mile Toyota Avensis for an 8 month old Ex Demo Passat.2.0 TDI SE. I was only offered £1500 for it but picked up the Passat for 13k. With the extras on it, it would have been over £21k new. As it was a main VW agent I thought this quite a good deal. Bottom line is ...

Ha. That'll be me trying to be a little artististic with the picture software in the second shot. It was such a gloomy day I thought I'd try and warm it up a little

I already posted this in Newbies section by mistake. Thought I had better move it to where it belongs.

Had it about a month or so now, the more I drive it the more I'm starting to love it. No upgrades as yet other than the Xenons it came with as an extra. Anyway thought I'd post a couple of pics ...

Well just looked in my technical data and cannot find anything to tell me if I got PD or CR type engine. All it tells me is that I have the 103 kw TDI (140bhp) without the Diesel Particulate Filter. I assume being a 2008 model it has the latest engine which you appear to suggest is the CR?

Hi all
Had my 08 2.0 TDI 140bhp for just over a week now. Got to say I'm very impressed overall, Solidity, build quality and driving experience all top notch. One big reason for buying the car was expected fuel economy from the 2.0 TDI engine. I've just returned after a week away and have covered ...

Hi Chaz.
Just recently learnt I have puschased what's known as a B6.
Your right can't wait to pick it up, but as it's so new I don't want be messing with it too much.
Got to admire many of the forum members on here though. The Passat isn't the first car that springs to mind when it comes to modding ...

at last some more southerners,

Ha I know what you mean. I'm also a member of a motorcycle forum, very dominated by Northerners.

Anyway many thanks for the welcome. As said, my first VW, and my first diesel. Always felt they were a bit expensive in the past but this credit crunch is even ...

Just like to say to Hi everyone.
My name is Martin and I live in Petersfield Hampshire
Picking up my 08 reg Passat Saloon on wednesday. Never owned one before, infact it's my first ever German car. It's an Ex demonstrator and is a completely standard SE Diesel 140bhp model, apart from Bi Xenon ...
