Been a member on here for a while now as was looking to buy a passat and finally picked up this one at the end of last year ( I know ages ago lol ) Got it cheap enough as had a running fault and no drive

So had loads of plans but due to work issues these have been ages in getting started but i eventually found the running fault which was a worn cam so decided to replace head gasket,cam,tappets,cam shells,t/belt kit,water pump and injector seals and finally got it all finished during the week

Also removed the gearbox to check out the drive issue and found the clutch was knackered ( as thought ) so just renewed clutch kit,dual mass flywheel and rear crank seal/housing while I was at it as it had a small leak. Gave the car a wee tidy up,renewed the rear lights,number plate lights and fitted HID kit I had lying about and fitted a set of borrowed wheels on it and sent it up for its MOT today and it passed so well chuffed

Over the last few months I have however bought bits and pieces for the car so hopefully by the weekend I will update more still have big plans for the car but just extended my timeframe for completion
