I bought my self one of these - with need of some TLC

[78dude]

Yesterday I bought my self one of these, the VW Passat B4 estate who is one of the best work horses from Wolfsburg tbh!

Its a 1.8 petrol who means 90bhp - who means not to bad on fuel who is good these days with hi petrol prices. No fancy stuff aboard, only twin airbags, abs and a electric sunroof. But there are some issues off course!

ABS lamp goes on for like two minutes before it turns off - I think I need to replace an ABS sensor tbh!


The temp guage do not work, so I think I need to order a new temp sensor.


The car it self have got some surface rust so there are TLC on the body for sure.


Ready to tow a caravan!


A very boring German estate!


I wonder, do the 15`inch BBS to the E30s fit this car?

pretty sure all 4 stud vw's are 4x100 so yes.

4x100
5x100
5x112

Erik- You've turned into travelling Salesman!

Looks decent.

Temp gague is likely to be the sender, yes. that 1.8 90bhp lump is a good one- lasts well, and takes a beating.

as for the e30 bbs, the centrebore (57.1mm) is the same on VW and BMW e30, so yes they should fit.. THe offset may be different though- I'd compare.

E30 offset on 15" bbs is 24, most golfs (mk2) are 30 odds

Hey guys - thx for answers!

Today it have been the "fix the locks" day - who means buy parts from the German eBay due to car parts are expencive in the land of the north...

So now I have order a new lock for the drivers door (left) and this is the next thing on the list to get new!

The lock to the tailgate


Looks like a spring is missing

Might not look the part now but with a set of euro looking rims and rear lights (smoked indicator and reverse) and a big drop. The car would look so much better! But as an average workhorse - they're pretty damn bomb proof!

Time to head to the beach today!
