To confirm im in the process of doing an engine change and i have been asked for

    * a receipt for the replacement engine
    * written evidence from the manufacturer
    * an inspection report provided for insurance purposes
    * written confirmation on headed paper from a garage if the change in engine size took place before you bought the vehicle

same car is also apparently 19998 cc as well

also  the passat is still apparently  TDi even tho the fuel is down as petrol and it is petrol wtf

Lol so the dvla don't seem to have a clue then in ure cars case. I'm gunna get a letter headed paper from a garage dwn the road and say that the engine was put in before I bought seems like less hassle that way, also it has been resprayed silver when its meant to be blue so got to change that too else I'm asking to be pulled over
