Thanks man and yeah he was 😁

Thank you. Me too I’m surprised I walked away originally. Adrenal was so pumped I didn’t go to the hospital until the following day. yeah honestly I feel like the knee is better than it was before. I had a torn meniscus and when they went in there they noticed there was a minor tear on my acl...

Hello everyone. Some of you may remember me. I have sad news to report. The Passat got totaled. A careless driver cut me off at an intersection. I needed knee surgery and all that. The accident happened January 15th of this year. I’m full recovered now. I feel like this is the karma of not...

Sad day man.

So far. I’m at about 20k miles driven on the complete build. So far no oil. When I installed it I didn’t put the dabs of gasket maker in the corners like some people instruct. I just put a nice thick layer on the oil pan when mating it and it seems to hold well. If I ever have to replace my...

Yes, my manual trans has one. It’s suppose to be on the drain plug but mine was on my fill plug. I swapped my drain and fill plug so the security is on the drain. The tool is a 16mm 12 point tamper proof bit (I believe I bought mine at autozone). Make sure you remove the fill plug first before...

Yeah you got lucky. People in NY want ridiculous money for their Junk Cars. I paid $1000 for my 2005 Passat TDi GLS and it had a slush box that went so I had to tow it. He was originally asking 2k! Granted the car was literally mint with tons of maintenance records, new tires and brakes...

Unless you find a scrap car for a reasonable price I think Frans’s prices are actually quite good. Most people Atleast in the northeast will want $1500 for a pile of crap that don’t run. I was able to get every part for the swap, new sensors for cruise and clutch switch, new clutch and flywheel...

BUMP! Everything is still for sale. Please DM me! Prices are negotiable.

Just wanted to come in and say awesome build. I still have a long awaited car journal I need to start for my manual swapped B5 Passat. Can’t wait to see more.

When I get a lift, I’ll be saving more VWs for sure. Tired of doing stuff on jackstands.

Hit up @Frans from DutchAutoParts even though he is in Netherlands, the cost with shipping was cheaper than local sources. He can get you real TDi 5 and 6 speed transmissions. No gas transmissions. They have different gear ratios. He provides everything for the full swap. Pedals, shift linkage...

Just wanted to update since Windex came in here. I’m over 10k miles on my Corteco mounts and still buttery smooth. Sorry to hear you’re having trouble windex. There are 4 things that I can think of that will cause bad vibration. Bad snub mount, bad engine mounts, bad transmission mounts or you...
