After painting my other car (Seat Arosa) and having drove it for 2 years, I wanted something quicker!
Especially while I learn about doing/ trying the engine swap on the Arosa, I thought I'd take that of the road, and get a new daily.
A friend had the Passat and I loved it, so when she decided to sell, I got it
It had an engine swap before we bought it, to mk3 gti 2.0 16v ABF, which has made things difficult to fit!
From when I have had it, Ive done/replaced;
Alternator belt x6 - Currently on the 6th, finally being the right size! ... I hope.
Water pump
Service
Coolant change
Radiator
Front Brakes - Need to find callipers
Timing Belt
Rear wheel bearings - Which have now gone again after 1k... :/
Oil Filter gasket
Oil cooler seal
Random Coolant hoses
And some other bits and bobs, but I cant think.
Took the car to Cork for V.A.G.E, had a slight hiccup as in it started cutting out, well it did it once when we arrived, done it for a short time after, seems to be something with the isv, have eliminated everything else! Cleaned the isv and it hasn't cut out, but sometimes the revs will bounce until turned off and on again!
Anyway, I put the lenso's on, for a little while.
Mods too date;
Red strip around the bumpers
Zenders on - Uniroyal rainsports on
Headunit
Sub
Sun visors from a B4 - Sprayed black
Moon roof from a B4 - Not working properly yet, had to take some parts from orignal rooof, but the rail clicker thing on one side has snapped, so need to find another sunroof - that isnt broken!
Roof rails & bars
US Rear tub - to be fitted this week!
And really just a clean
