Re: Air vent gauge pod

I don't think many company's are bothered anymore about making aftermarket stuff for our older passats,

That last post was 9 years ago so I'll be surprised if they still do , if at all

ive got 256 bhp and 410 nm...and I've spent a small fortune getting to 410 nm

and yet a diesel with 180 bhp has 400 nm

Re: snub mount change on a 1.8 turbo

Re: vacuum pipes removal
