Anyone have confirmation on location of Adblue tank?

I love the sporty looks of dual exhaust.

The rear bumper is the same between the V6 and TDI Passat, the only difference is the lower spoiler which has two cut outs instead of just one.

SWEET.

The only snafu right now is the routing of the exhaust and the location of the adblue tank.

None of my techs have ever had to replace or even access the Adblue tank on the Passat yet, so noone here has any confirmation.

Does anyone here know if we can safely route a second exhaust pipe to the passenger side without melting anything?

Also, if anyone has a picture of the underside of the passat, Post it up.

Please.

You could probably do a dummy tip, but the right muffler takes up the space that the AdBlue tank occupies on the TDI.

Today is an extremely slow day at work.

So I have been researching LED/Xenon headlights, LED taillights, wiring diagrams, fuse diagrams, anything I can to occupy time.

Get me a price on some Chinese market xenons and a Chinese wiring diagram. :D

No wiring diagram needed. Just this week someone on another forum posted his plug and play results with $800 chinese imports. Looks good. Hopefully a group buy can be put together.

... None :S
Those are aftermarket lights, not the OE ones which can turn to look around corners ;)

Really? Where do you all find the time to waste on these cosmetic changes?
We spend a little less time on the Forum....

Some of us like to change the look of our cars. So do you have anything to add other than grief...?

OP, it definitely doesn't look like it will fit, without getting the adblue very hot, but I didn't have a tape measure to confirm. A heatshield might work...

I want it hooked up and functioning properly - including steerable headlights. Can't do that with an adapter... And you certainly can't do it with $800 knock-offs. :)

LOL at "cosmetic changes"... Far from it, Tom. :)

Actually, the aforementioned knock-offs are cosmetic. :)

Unless you need the muffler to pass inspection, you probably don't actually need the muffler ... Could a straight-pipe be routed across to avoid the location of the AdBlue tank?
