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!
I bought a 06 Jetta tdi with the brm motor. I recently replaced the turbo and put the old vnt actuator on the new turbo and now when trying to drive full vacuum is applied to the actuator keeping the vanes closed all the time. I vacuum tested the actuator and it starts to move at 1in of vacuum...
Help, Newbie here. I need to replace the battery on my daughter's TDI sportwagon, 2014. I don't want to pay dealership prices and would like to buy one at autoparts store. Can anyone advise what size battery I need?
Thanks
Hey all,
Im coming up on 100,000 miles since i replaced the original cam on my diesel to a colt cam. I have 250,000 miles on the car now.
I was just wondering how members are doing on their second or maybe third cams. Are people seeing any abnormal wear? Or need to replace another one...
Hello all,
I'm hearing an occasional clicking/popping sound from (sounds like) the front drivers side wheel well. I've popped off the wheel and nothing looks terribly amiss.
I've been unable to pinpoint suspension conditions that cause it. It does not reliable make the noise when...
