I was a VW tech through the mid to late 2000s. The reliability of the W8 Passat wasn't the biggest issue, it was repairing it when it did break. Access to the engine and driveline in the front of the car is HORRIBLE. I remember watching a coworker go through dropping a W8 out multiple times due to a faulty oil pressure sender. The vehicle's owner was notoriously cheap and wanted us to replace the bad sender with a cheap aftermarket unit and our service manager caved and allowed it. The tech didn't want to go through all that without putting in a quality part. When the second aftermarket sender failed, requiring a third engine removal, he threatened to quit if he was forced to install another crappy sender. We put in a factory part and never saw the car again.

Oh God, the Phaeton. Only certain dealerships were "Phaeton certified" and had the tooling needed to do everything to those cars. VAG treated the Audi R8 the same way. It was a bunch of money in tools and training the dealership had to pay for to be able to properly service a car they might never see. The dealership I worked for didn't buy into either program, but would still bring those cars in for service. We were an Audi/VW/Porsche/Jaguar store and the only extra model we were set up for was the Carrera GT, and there were exactly two of them in our service area.

This thing is slow (0-60 in 6.8sec) but the sound it makes especially in a tunnel is intoxicating. The sound an engine makes is what gives the car its soul.

As a VW guy: It was really cool that VW crammed big engines in these cars with the VR6 in the Golf/Jetta and the W8 in the Passat. It's similar to what Mercedes did with their V12 AMG models... the issue is having the space to do maintenance and repairs when something breaks which requires dropping the engine and sometimes the transmission.

If you are sad to let it go, then don't let it go. BTW, little fun fact, the Jetta is not for sale in Germany/Europe, but they do have the Passat estate (only, and is very popular as Police car) and the only saloon is the Arteon which is basically a Passat with a different name and some more up market styling clues. It is kind of strange that the only VW saloon in the US is smaller than the only VW saloon in Europe.

I had a 2003 6-speed. Got it new. Some MagnaFlow exhaust work and Wetterauer chip. It ran a 14.4 at sea level. It was a fun car. Are you sure that's Indigo Blue? It looks more like Pacific Blue, which was a W8-only color. My 2001 GLX was Indigo and my W8 was Pacific Blue. The VW touch up paint actually read Petrol Pearl Effekt. I had mine for about 80,000 miles and it was relatively bulletproof. Other than typical for the day with German vehicles - fuel pump, a few window regulator clips, and the infamous W8 thermostat. I had no problem with the tensioners. But then again I maintain my vehicles differently than other people lol. It got its first oil change at 1,000 miles then every 5,000 miles as long as I owned it. In all honesty, of all the vehicles I've owned before and since my W8, it is the one I wish I kept. Even more rare were the six-speed W8 wagons. I think they only imported 96 if memory serves me.

@@Bluegrassriver8 I got s set of my buddies glx 16in alloys to replace the steelie 15in it came with. I have alot planned for it. Planning on being at next year's VolksFest and GermanFest in Wisconsin next year. This last year I went to VolksFest with it still relatively stock. Was the X wife's for 8+ years. Thankfully she didn't beat on it like we did with her 93' Integra Candy Apple Red with the 1.8L N/A . Tend 2 slow down once yuh become a parent. Still have fun tho when it's the rite type of place tho. Take good care of it. Gonna be spending a great deal under it next spring to tackle any rust and so on.

There's some kind of massive body lean to the back in the Passat B5 when you accelerate which makes you think you feel G's from acceleration when it's actually just very soft suspension. My friend had that car and thought he could take on other friend's bimmer after a ride in it he said "lol it barely moves, I'm gonna smoke you in my Passat"... he lost badly when they raced. The bimmer was much more stiff so you didn't feel that lean but in reality it's been faster.
