That's my car and my story mate

So this one has been sitting for a long time but today finally finished it up in preparation for a new toy coming soon ;) The easiest way for us to get the suspension and everything off was to roll the car on to its side - was good fun :D Anyway this is what she looked like underneath; http://i1262....

Just to finish my story up, I have now completed stripping the car and this is what she looked like underneath - sorry about all the pics :) http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/avdberg7788/Passat/20161203_123016_zpswtfru0zu.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii616/avdberg7788/Passat/20161...

Hi, thanks for the update,sorry you have had to end up breaking but seeing those pics I'm now not surprised! I have never seen anything like that before,dreadful. Hope you got a satisfactory settlement n' you get everything sorted.Nick They made everything unnecessarily difficult, gave me hoops to ...

Got quite a bit done today;

Great thread,but what have I missed tho'? from Nov last post to pics of stripped out! whats been happening with VW? Sorry I'm sure I updated this but obviously not :) Unfortunately I can't go into any details but my claim has now been settled. But onwards and upwards, the Passat will be stripped an...

So getting the car stripped is getting there at least - slowly but surely; http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b568/a77881/Passat%20Rust%20-%20Share/IMG_20160409_133917_zps9kxkx50l.jpg http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b568/a77881/Passat%20Rust%20-%20Share/IMG_20160408_170736_zpsvnlhks9l.jpg Looks...

Thank you to everyone for the help and advice over the last 8/9 months. Can't go into any details but my claim has been settled.

I won't be back in a Passat again and mine will be stripped and the shell scrapped shortly.

Good luck to everyone else that's going through the same thing.

Hi mate, Car looks great! Where did you purchase the 19's from? Are they the same offset as the old ones? I got them from eBay mate, second hand bargain. They aren't quite the same fitment as the old ones no, these are ET45 rather than ET44 but also 8.5J wide rather than 8J it basically means the h...

Hi mate,
Car looks great!

good luck - I cannot see you will need it as the warranty does to me seem pretty clear on what it is suppose to cover... Feel free to use my case if this helps as VW basically admitted the fault and sorted the bonnet after a few weeks of being shown up (took the dealer two goes to get it right aswe...

Hi all, Just as an update on my case - VW UK wasn't helpful at all in the end and decided it isn't financially viable to repair my car even though it is within it's 12 year warranty. They offered a silly low amount to buy it back and when I told them how much I have put into the car since buying it,...

Exactly my issue

Mine has rust around the tailgate too. However i'm not going to VW as they stitched me up on my MK5 Jetta when i tried to claim for rusty front wings.... (they said it was too low!) A metal council sign has fallen against the side of the car denting and scratching my p/s wing.... So ive had 3 quote...

When I bought my car I noticed there was some rust on the tailgate, didn't think much of this as it's a known issue with a TPI associated to it and should be covered under VW's 12 year rust warranty. Once I had bought the car I found there was more rust on the arches and wings, some of the doors, an...

I went along to AmD yesterday for a rolling road day. Wasn't really sure what to expect but came away really happy seeing as all she has is a panel air filter and is run on 99ron fuel;

Is this acceptable on a 2006 VW Passat?!

Just a bit of info on the steering wheel as this was a hell of a job in the end. I bought a new (used) controller 3C0953549AK to get everything coded in. Configured it all, coded the steering wheel, DSG paddles worked great, got out of the car tried to lock it and central locking didn't work.. Tried...

Love the cluster, what was the damage for one these days? Hi mate, Had a look - this is what I bought. And was from Poland, not the Czech Republic. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Passat-CC-TFT-Premium-Instrument-Cluster-3C8-920-981E-3C8920981E-/151740275463?euid=3830b69d66fb42b2afa85bea90d7aeb1&c...
