The insurance assessor who comes round to check it over if you have a smash will know the difference.

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

at work there is a rallye that  was apparently new at first registration in 2008
