UKPassats

Thanks Mk2Passat for the heads up

Hello NZ As mentioned previously the B2 coupe was never sold in the UK and I don't think that many were sold in Continental Europe either infact I have never seen one having travelled extensively in Europe.I note there is a guy on this forum in Czech republic(JamesM) he has a B2 coupe,his last posti...

Hi matt,Dean & fellow B2 fans Just an idea I had and thought I would post on the forum to see what the concensus might be. In recognition of Matt & Dans road trip to the south of France I was thinking what a great oppurtunity to maybe get some B2's together perhaps over at Goldfingers HQ or ...

Yes I think its possible although I am not so sure if its that easy.I certainly wouldnt want to contemplate it! There's a lot of different ancillary bits for the Fuel injection 2.0/2.2 5 pot however if you have a complete GT coupe to play with it might prove useful.Alternatively source an early 5 po...

Hi Guys Contemplating repairing front bumper incurred minor damage grazed and slightly holed corner probably be able to tidy up and maybe plastic weld however biggest problem is finding some of that plastic piping chrome effect insert stuff.Which in collision lost a couple of inches.Require about tw...

Hi Matt & Dean Just wondered how you are progressing with the old girl..Maybe you could give us an update As a mattter of interest are you intending to drive her back to Blighty? would be a pity for her to end up languishing in a French scrapyard although guessing not a bad part of the world to ...

Have never seen a 3 door coupe very rare I think .Believe they were not sold in the UK

Interesting

Very very rewarding to hear that 5 cylinder growling again

Loads of completely shot NSU RO80's,couple of Mercs ...and even a Polski fiat 125

The Passats are the youngest of the lot

Hi guys

Yeh have tried ebay.de many times over the years looking for the Black plastic wheelarches but never quite worked out the German translation also tried looking at ebay.com for VW Quantum wheelarches but again to no avail.Must confess never considered Golf arches or maybe Passat mk3 ?

Yeh its quite alarming when the needle goes a little over half way and the fan keeps cutting in :0 .All the 5 pots Ive had have been the same the current one started running hotter at about 110k now 158k so it would appear to be fairly normal? Suspect gradual/slight deterioration of head gasket as n...

Oldtimer i am speechless...simply stunning now youve really got my juices flowing

Thanks mate you are very kind likewise this photo was taken 18months ago! Rust and a few minor dinks have taken over since but remember we are driving these as you would a modern euro box so I guess its to be expected mine is a workhorse often all sorts of gubbins in the back or on the roof even the...

This one will blow your mind!

SNAP .....Not quite as tasty,note the chrome wheelarches designed to hide the rot! But I still love the old barge

Gordon Bennett! This place is only two miles from me - never knew it existed.Gonna go down and have a ferret round ASAP.Dont need too many bits but sure I will find something useful.Let me know if you want me to check anything out whilst im there or maybe if anyone coming over give us a shout and ei...

yeh maybe the only other motor I would ever want to replace my GL5 although maybe a VW Quantum ok its the same thing near as damn it. Have for many years considered purchasing a Syncro or GT from Germany or neighbouring Austria or Switzerland unfortunately I think too much red tape and perhaps too m...

Hello to fellow mk2 aficionados-you guys are really making me nervous.Acquired my 87 GL5 estate 7years ago with 93k on clock now approaching 158k me too think its time to replace belt a job i have been putting off having had to do some other bits recently namingly exhaust manifold gaskets,replacemen...
