68 litres according to the manual so 68 x2.29 = $156. ish.
600km ish.
Same as my ex 2002 Golf v6 4mo. it was $110 to fill and 425km.
BTW, this is my 13 VW.
Got it Fri aft.so heavy manual reading time.
May drop by Giltraps for an advanced seat training ...... :D

Very stylish car.
Good on you Doug, nice to see you having fun ;)
The end is nigh, but the end of what is the question?

The black cop drives one of these on the tv show Grimm.

Makes a change from the usual yank metal.

Pristle

Now to take it completely off topic, what do you think of Grimm? Here the missus was expecting something along the lines of "Once Upon a Time", but the popcorn bowl got tossed quite early on. Haven't seen her jump like (watching a movie) that in quite a while.

About the CC, glad to see some quality product placement on telly.

Always liked this Passat variation, good choice Doug - would have one in a heartbeat if the piggy bank wasn't already busted into little bits....

Saw it a while ago off in HD, unlike crappy Prime's SD.

It was quite good, imo much, much better than Once Upon A Time < a load of old twaddle if ever there was.

Nice. They always seem to look better in the flesh than in photos!

Still for sale lol, might wanna tell them...

So I got this spoiler painted Reflex Silver
http://www.ebay.com/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-2009-2011-PASSAT-CC-REAR-WING-TRUNK-SPOILER-/251191993959?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2009%7CMake%3AVolkswagen%7CModel%3ACC&hash=item3a7c35a667&vxp=mtr
And it looks good.
It seems like it might need heat gun to bend into position for accurate placement.
Any one have experience fitting this stuff?
Any tips?
Ta!
HEY! HO! LETS GO!

NZDoug

No progress fitting the spoiler.

Must meet panel beater one day.

anyhoo, ordered the genuine VW cargo net  to comp[liment my genuine lift out rubber boot mat.
Hopefully arrive from Germany next week.

First problem.
The car has blown a daylight running bulb and is booked in for a replacement Monday first thing.

Bought not built.

schattenblau

classy, much better than the square nosed facelift.

brian

Agree, that was a facelift that didn't quite come off.
Be interesting to see what the new CC looks like when it appears
Škoda Fabia 1.0 TSI Race Blue

NZDoug

Me again.
I never did fit that spoiler. Couldna been the right one so I biffed it.
Anyhoo, im replacing wiper blades and was wondering if there are better ones than factory?

3 years ownership as of may 15, so will get another 3 year warantee and put it rhru another 3 year cycle.
Really like how it handles in "SPORT" suspension mode, flicks around the corners well for
its size.
67k on it now.
