New old Passat my new daily

[Anonymous]

Think I'll hang onto it for the time being, it's pretty sluggish though. Suspension and ride is fantastic, much better than my Gti Golf at the moment. Just lacks in the forward propulsion department.
Since no one wants the ABF I have, I might consider putting that in for a bit of extra go. Does anyone know if I'd have any engine height issues if I put the ABF in? I don't see why these cars should ping as they have knock sensing ignition I believe.
But first things first I need to get it roadworthy and registered. Does anyone know where I can get cheap good quality CV joints from? and probably should do the front wheel bearings just to be safe.

Not sure?

Make sure that you get German ones. A lot of the stuff on it is the same as Golf 2, so should be easy to get.

Don't drop it, just leave it.
Good catch there.
