Passat TDi Estate! I envy you now! :oook: (I actually mean that)

 

What engine size? I'm guessing 2.0?

 

 

I'd hazard a guess it's a 1.9 TDI going by the age/badge combination. Can't be sure on the BHP as I don't think the Passat B5 used the same red-lettering system as the MK4 Golf. Maybe 110BHP. Bullet-proof engine anyway.

[The Compensator]

It used the red-lettering for sure, so I guess it's the 1.9 66kW version. :mhmm:

[TheXRacer]

The 1.9 TDI always sounds like a tractor in whatever guise it is in. No matter what the Intake-Exhaust mods, no matter what blow off valve you run, no matter what boost you have, it ALWAYS sounds like a tractor.

 

Cool car though. :D

[Guest MrLolololXD]

Did you just say blow off valve? :ew:

[The Compensator]

^ :confused:

[TIMELESS]

All 1.9TDI's in my town have hidious blow off valves. Sounds like a drunk squirrel being run over. We have great fun leaving them at the lights though :lol:

[The Compensator]

People these days... :fp2:

 

Luckily I've never heard it in real life... I'm quite surprised that no young TDI driver has installed BOV in my town, even though there are tons of youths who think their mkIV Golf's are the best cars in the world. I always :fp: when some youth drives by in his riced MkIV.

[TIMELESS]

They all sound like this here, you'll understand my description now.. :p

 

[GTAMADDOG]

My dads Skoda sounds like a quiet siren, the Renault sounds like a loud siren and my 306 makes a noise like there's a bigger rush of air coming out of the exhaust than there actually is when you rev it which sounds quite funny.

 

Boost leak and a dying turbo on the two mobile sirens otherwise they'd just sound like faster tractors going up the road. You'll never get away from the tractor sound on a diesel, not even with CR technology.

Mellors might be interested to hear that with some $900 software I've fixed all the 7spd twin dry clutch DSG idiosyncrasies and it's all behaving wonderfully now.

You're ability to hack your car never cease to amaze. :lol: What were the issues?

[TIMELESS]

Issues, it had a DSG. It's manual now :p

 

Kidding. :D

[Ryzza5]

Issues were jerky changes between 1 & 2 in stop/start traffic, and generally changing up too early for the sake of economy. It now drives very similarly to how I changed gears manually now, haven't actually used the paddles much since I got it installed.

 

Camel said he's got mostly the same issues with with his new Ford. It's not a DSG issue, but more limited to those with the brand new dry clutch setup (which saves you about $1200AUD every 60,000kms in servicing costs.

[Camel]

Thanks but I won't be hacking into mine. Shouldn't be driving it for much longer an it's fine for my dad.

In August we brought our old W638 Vito to service as it couldn't start up. The issue was a dysfunctional injector. Well, yesterday we had to get the car in service again. The problem was almost exact - we could not start it up. However, it was the fuel filter that caused it.

 

We decided to buy a new car next year, because we don't want to invest more money in our tusty trusty Spanish Benz to keep it functional. :nods:

[Vkeris]

Hey, some of you might know me, some might not. If you don't, my dad (and I occasionally) drives a Hennessey Cadillac CTS-V700 Coupe. I also drive as an everyday car, a Porsche GT3. [ATTACH]18068[/ATTACH]

Fitted the lower strutbrace yesterday. Driving in the city is a pain in the ass now. Scraping everywhere.

[randomsox10]

Took my truck out to the desert yesterday and did a little off roading. With the traction control off in a completely straight road, I hit about 70mph before the snaking got too bad. Pretty scary, considering that I have a stock suspension street tires, and rear wheel drive. I was going to record it, but I was alone and didn't have a place to put my camera.

Awhyeah.

Awww yeah indeed. :cool:

You need blue seatbelts to match your car. But awhyeah indeed.

[The Compensator]

Those are some proper seats. :eek:

[T1M]

You drive a pair of seats?

[Camel]

You drive a pair of seats?

 

Don't be silly!

 

He drives his home.

[superhyper]

Wrong again! The answer has to be the backpack! :susp:
