Is this the same lump in an Audi A8. An old boy down the way from me has one and it goes and sounds like a trooper. I'd love one if it wasn't  as long as a canal barge.

Hope you manage to sort your woes fella  :smiley:

Nope that is a proper V8, the W8 engine in the Passat is very different.

Okay understood. It does sound like a right hoot when the old boy selects 'drive' and automates away  :grin:

A fleet of W8's or a fleet of problems? They sound synonymous from what I read  :cry:

I'm like this with books. Start them get to about page eight, get bored or confused and then I stack them in the loo and they become a very handy toilet roll holder.
