1.9TDI AVF Passat B5FL 4motion
Hello to everyone, being new to the forum I would like to share plans in store for my car and it's current looks.
1.9TDI 4motion 6 speed manual AVF (current power 155hp and 345Nm)
Original Bi Xenon, lots of electric equipment, Scandinavian version that heats up in winter better than A6 with 2.4 V6 I had last year.

At the moment I live in Iceland and there is not even one person that could remap the ECU after my future modifications. This forces me to drive back to my home country and do it over there.
Upon my arrival I will change a lot in suspension but I will keep to original parts, roads in Iceland are a bit uneven for stiff suspension. Brake system will be changed to one from Audi S6.
Little maintenance is planned as well, oil in gearbox, time belt, oils, filters and fluids in general.
Now comes the fun stuff. :D
Gtb2260vklr, firad noozles for injectors, FMIC, nice sounding exhaust system and of course new stronger clutch.
I will probably get half leather seats, I like their looks a lot. Maybe change color or renew this one.
In terms of new rims, I'm not sure if I can fit 16' over S6 brake system, if not then 17'.
That is pretty much all, car is in nice shape in general I had no issues with cold start, tons of fun so far.
I do apologize if I've made any mistakes, english is not my native language.
BTW I unnecessarily posted photos in 4k, I'll get some in more view able size a post them correctly.

It is one of the reasons I choose this car, the A6 was first car from VAG group I had and here in Iceland I fell in love with quattro, once I was racing this guy in 540 beemer and on straights I had no chance but once those serpentine mountain roads came, sweet baby jesus the grip mesmerized me and he had no chance, but the A6 always lacked the momentum on the up hill roads.
By far this is the most enjoyable car I ever had, I only drive uphill on 5th and not 6th gear so it can have less effect on dual mass.
The tires I have now are Michelin X-Ice Pro North 3 with spikes, I had no problem with grip on snow driving around 150-170km/h, clear ice with rain 70-90km/h.
Still if anyone knows of a proper brake setup I can use with 16 inch and not 17 inch wheels it would be great, I'm really not sure about S6 calipers and discs.
P.S. I'm working constantly nowadays I will upload some nice pictures at the end of the month when some well deserved free time comes.
