VW Passat ("The Wassat" / G-Werks Passat)

Featured Replies

VW Passat 1.8 20v Sport 1998 R reg

Details

Mileage is currently 142,000 (ish, on the clocks, but really around 113,000 see below) with a FSH (if I can find it) Serviced at VW dealers up until the last 3 which were done with VW specialists. Some receipts for work carried out since owning the car and a few from before I think.

N.B.

Also note, the milage is higher than actual due to:

1. The Steelies are slightly smaller than they are meant to be, meaning it as you drive it reads more than it should

2. It had a replacement engine at around 115,000 miles with and engine of around 86,000 (which was done by G-Werks)

They're pretty frugal engines tbh, mine's a 2.0 20v and I can easily get near 40mpg out of it.

Have replied to PM's and **bump** after being away for the weekend!

I have to admit. The 1.8 20v is one slow old best especially in a passat and you'll not get much for a tenner either. 60 mile if your lucky. Although mate, love this car, if i had the owl do ray me, i'd buy er. looks sweet as. Wish you all the best buddy.

To be honest i have always been shocked at how quick the 1.8 20v actually is... I used to own a MK2 Golf GTI and the Passat isnt any slower at all even though it is a much larger car!!

Thanks, and **bump**
