Separated at birth? From the side, they have the same blacked out mid pillar and same rear cutline except one goes back and one goes forward. Same with the rear bumper. From the front, the front grille even has the same basic shape and if you put on passat headlights, it would look almost like a passat.
The interior is also way better than the new passat. I've owned a pontiac and it's interior was lousy even by standards then. A chevy actually looks better on the inside than a VW? It looks like it came out of an Audi!
Except for the front, I definitely see the resemblance! However, I have not bought a car from the big 3 in 10 years and since I rarely buy new cars anyways, probably won't for a while.
I don't think that's true, the jetta and 4 door golf don't look like that. It's got a somewhat buick-phaeton stretched sedan look. The front and rear overhangs are also very close. The rear and front look are very close. It's the trapezoidal grille and the hood line that meets the grille.
Hm...the front not so much, the back and the sides are right on. It's the wide trunk, white part in the taillights, and the lip on the end of the trunk.
The ford taurus and the passat look the same too but I've seen the ford taurus, it looks more beefy in the front from a different angle. From this angle, the round greenhouse and proportions are right on! They both have this "bubbly" look. In fact, the more I look at it, the more they look the same. If you switched the grille and headlights, most people won't be able to tell the difference.
Huh? The Ford Taurus doesn't look anything like the old passat. The taillights and grille are all wrong. It's the angle of the picture. If anything, the Taurus looks like an Audi A4 from the side. Same bubble dome, even the rear window is pointed instead of blunted like the Passat. Change the front headlights, bada bing!
While there are countless threads discussing the setting of the Torsion Value on PD engines, I have yet to find a good technical description of why it even needs to be messed with (versus zeroing it) and why it is a thing at all. Granted, I mainly come from the world of engines with timing...
Window washers, bk wiper, cigarette lighter, heater fan all stopped working in one go have tried all fuses and they are fine anyone any ideas. This has me confused 🤷♀️
VCDS showing 4 faults. Auxillary heater element. Part #1KO963235E. Drivers electric window motor. Drivers door mirror blinker. Locking module on drivers door.
All these are working. How do I find out what is causing the faults.
I have an 05 Jetta bew tdi that I need to change the turbo on I was wondering if there are any tips or tricks to help me do it faster or more efficiently.
So I have a 06 Jetta with brm motor. Say I got a remanufactured turbo without a new actuator because my old actuator was in good working condition. How would I go about setting the actuator rod to the correct length before putting it on the car?
