Lovely car, just acquired one with the same engine/trans/AWD, but in all black with leather and such. It has under 60k miles and I can’t believe how high quality everything is. Extremely smooth to drive as well.
@@samymatianu8399 Garage queen for the first 50k of its life, but it runs super smooth, and has decent pull. It seems to be a pretty light car so it doesn't take a lot to get moving. Low to the ground with excellent visibility, feels much faster than it is.
If you're keeping the car outdoors keep an eye on the sunroof drains and cabin filter bracket. They're prone to leaks which can collect in the footwells and drown the TCM.
Thank you so much Kelvin, nice that you enjoyed the movie. I am very happy with the car and it works great on the snow that is here now. Regards Kingofarctic
Nice to hear :-) I have only owned mine for 9 months but am very happy until now! Have you had your many years and what are you most and least happy with? Regards Kingofarctic
Hello, I'm looking on getting a very well saved B5.5 passat with manual transmission. Can you give exact numbers in your experience about the fuel economy? I'm hearing combined it's between 10l/100km to 15l/100km
Hi Elmárs, I don't have an exact measurement of the petrol consumption. However, there is a big difference between city driving and country driving. In city driving with a cold engine and in winter it can reach almost 20L/100Km, it will be significantly lower with a manual gearbox. Normally it uses 15 - 18L/100 km (city driving). In the summer on road driving you can get down to 7 - 8L/100km. The V6 engine is quite thirsty. Greetings Kingofarctic
Sorry bro, but your car is not good equipped, You have no automatic mirror, have no rain sensor, have no GPS, have no ESP, have no automatic headlight correction, have no leather, have no electro memory seats, and so on.
Hi Alexandr, I'm very glad I do not have all this electronics that often cause problems on newer cars. When I say in the video quite! well equipped, it obviously means to be a 21 year old car. You can not compare a 2001 model with a new car, it's like comparing apples and oranges. Regards Kingofarctic

@@tarik20ua Hi again Alexandr, it's not necessary. Great that you have this equipment. However, I do not miss it. My experience with too much electronics = more that needs to be fixed when it stops working. Have a lovely day. Regards Kingofarctic

How it is so far with this engine? Good speed?

@@acrazyguy14 thank you mate! I wish I buy one manual 2.8 v6 passat break as well. Currently got already a 1.9 tdi in very good condition.🤝🏻
Thank you for this short, practical review. A beautiful car with a great combination of color, engine and gearbox. Cheers!

@@kingofarctic8474 So I hear... which is why I can't decide about it :D I also hear the parts for 4motion passats are getting quite rare.
Like my diesel 2005 TDI.
Make sure your A/C works, though. It was a costly repair.
