Dont be silly. It's all about supply and demand. I use more petrol than you do diesel so therefore diesel should be more expensive.

This is the very reason my drive now has a security light and a security camera. About a week after I got the S8 the tyres mysteriously started being flat in the morning and scratches started appearing on it. If they did that to mine even if the police wont do anything I'll have the images so can me...

I've got a problem with the S8's Acceleration Sensor (G200) and the instructions on ElsaWin say it's under the drivers seat. Under the drivers seat is the comfort module and the latteral airbag sensor but not the latteral G sensor or the yaw rate sensor which should also be there. Should I be lookin...

Sorry it's cream interior.

They're good cars, here's a pic of my old one with a quad exhaust: That looks the nuts, nice motor. Mine has had the silencer removed and only has the resonator in place and twin pipes as shown in the pics below. I may get the tips changed to quads as I'm not too keen on ovals that have a round out...

After the W8 and 540 the 2.4 A6 just didnt cut it so I decided to do it properly this time and now have this.

As has been said the W8 fills the engine bay and although compact it doesnt seem as though anything larger would fit.

Which one?

If it's the CK7W just search for bluetooth devices with the car on and use passcode 0000. I cant remember if you need to hold the button on the handsfree for a while or not.

Been there done that. I dont think i'll ever own the same model of car twice.

Or is it just S line ?

A previous owner badged it as an S6.

It is a 2.4 V6 auto Sport. A real S6 would be nice but the finances wont stretch to to one of those.

After a year in the BMW and throwing an obscene amount of money at it to keep it going and ultimatly writing it off I'm now back in a VAG.

Sorry it's not a Passat but here it is.

Mmmmm 2 Strokes....

Baby Oliver decided that being inside the missus wasnt for him so decided to come 3 weeks early. 8)

Sorry but I just have to.

The W8 is still for sale.

I've paid 4k for the 5 and I'll get at least that fo the W8.

As for the engine Paul. It's a 4.4 V8 8) I'll take a pic of the engine when I pick it up tommorow its huge!! If it was a VW W motor you could put a W16 in it's place.

After a very enjoyable 15 months of W8 ownership I've decided to move on as I need a bigger car to haul the family around. I would have considered a W8 estate but fancied a change so here's my new motor. 8)

The standard Satnav in the W8 is double din. There are chips out there it all depends on whether you think the outlay is worth 15 - 20bhp. If getting suspension make sure it's for the W8 as the W8 is like no other Passat. If you buy my car theres no need to worry about the double din as it allready ...

And why do people pu fog's on when it's raining?

I drive 25000+ miles a year and must have only used my fog's once.

Can you see brake dust on black wheels?

Had mine just over a year and I allready want to defect. the W8 is great but I want more power so an RS6 or M5 is likely to be replacing the satt when I can afford it.

Nice motor. I had a Golf Cab for a while.

VW all the way. Not got a huge history but here goes.

1997 1.4 Polo (The Wifes before I passed my test)
1997 1.8 Golf Cabriolet
2005 130 TDI Bora Sport
2002 Passat W8

Am I missing something here. What is the purpose of the CC

Had a quick look on the VW site though and spotted the new Scirocco and that does look alright.

Only comes with a 2.0 tsi though.

Mine is blue, not a private plate although they are Isle of Man style plates.
