UKPassats

alright guys, ive been on here for a while so thought id put a build thread up.

up until mid 2011 i had a MK3 Vauxhall Astra with a Calibra C20LET engine fitted.




was great fun, and good for scaring myself s**tless every so often, but the whole chasing power figures game was starting to become a black hole for my money which i couldn't justify any more. at the same time my son was getting bigger so i decided to swap her for a nice new (for me anyway) diesel estate.

after looking at loads of different cars we settled on getting a passat (my first VW) so here it is the day we got it.








its a 57 late 140PD SE with only 34,000 on the clock and plenty of nice extras like:

- cruise control
- heated front screen
- full leather heated seats
- power opening/closing boot
- bi-xeon adaptive/covering headlights (THESE ARE AMAZING!)
- headlights washers
- front and rear parking sensors
- front fogs
- auto lights and wipers
- 17" alloys
- full size alloy spare (never been fitted)
- 6 disc changer
- steering wheel controls
- highline MFD
- auto hold
