High pressure, I'm assuming?

Yeah. Start with the cam follower and work your way back.


No one at VW could ever figure out my problem. Had to sell the car.

Yeah, the 3.6 4-Mo. My dad had an 09 CC 3.6 4-Mo (6 speed automatic, not DSG). The DSG was offered in the facelifted 2013's with that IIRC. You could get a FWD 3.6 Passat, but I think the CC was only AWD with the 3.6.

A FWD CC is in reality only a couple hundred pounds heavier than the GTI. Plenty of scoot and midrange torque. It's no race car, but it has enough power stock to overcome the weight. Remember, the FSI/TSI were more like 220hp and 230tq stock. VW just loves to under rate.

And yeah, the old 2.7L and 2.8L 30V engines (Audi speak) are V6's. VW did put the same engines in the B5 and B5.5 Passat since that car is basically an Audi B5 A4.

But otherwise, the Corrado, old B3/B4 passat, Mk3 Jetta GLX and GTI, Mk4 Jetta's and GTI's and the 2003 GLI were all VR6's. And the R32 of course. The 2004.5 GLI's had the 1.8T nevalose engine.

Nope. I'm in Germany right now. Crows is an EPIC autox venue.

The 1-2 finishers in CS are national championship contenders in CS.

I didn't eat there. I went to the German place closer to the track. Currywurst and Shnitzle. Pistenklaus was Italian food. I wanted German! I'm at the airport heading to London now.

Yeah' I'd like to know how this went...

 

[live4something]

Instagram shows he didn't go with the Swift and the weather wasn't great

 

[g60_corrado_91]

Yeah, he said on FB that it had just stopped raining/snowing, they had speed limits. I'm still jealous.
