Posting more photos later of the underbody and a video of it running but here it is! We have for sale a 2003 W8 sedan with 4WD and ~60000 miles on its 2nd engine (the odometer is at 208k). The car runs and drives and we performed some basic maintenance as the car wasn't used very often (we have...

I am going to regret this, but I'm going to buy a cheap '04 T1 W8. Why?? It's cheap. A ton of little issues. Battery, Radio/Navi is dead, needs wheel bearings, rear hatch supports, maybe air suspension leaks. Rear brake pads/rotors. Tranny shifts roughly. Other than that it's great. LOL. I'll...

I saw this Tregposted in SATX. I went and checked it out. Needs a battery, possible front wheel hub/bearing. Tranny shifts rough. 143k miles. Stereo wouldn’t turn on. After jump starting , the engine ran very well. Sounded fine. Air suspension may need some attention but it did go up and down...

My husband has an 04 Passat W8 and his coolant reservoir cracked this week. We can't find a replacement within the US. Does anyone know where we can find one? He's getting frustrated and is talking about wanting to sell the car. We've already called the one VW dealership that was said to have...

This is posted under the W8 engine hoping someone with more forum knowledge may direct me to suitable forums. We own a 2003 W8 Passat Wagon (165k miles). I am trying to locate someone who may be willing to sell us the W8 lettering off the front grill, or possibly the entire grill itself...

They say that unicorns went extinct because Noah couldn’t find a pair to put in the arc. With only 97 of these W8 Passat Wagons having reportedly made their way into the US, its conservation might be just as tough. But you can do your part. A 2003 model, you could be the third owner of this...

There are so many good words in that title. W8, wagon, manual: my knees are buckling. Forget the SUVs and the three rows and upsizing malarkey, this is the family car for the GTI owner. This 2004 Passat wagon comes from way up in the great white north and comes with a W8 that drives four...

Back in the early 2000s, Volkswagen decided to stuff their 4.0L W8 power plant and 4Motion all-wheel-drive system into a Passat. To further spice things up, they also gave buyers the option of rowing their own gears with an available 6 Speed Manual transmission.  While this may be a bit of an...
