Title: Got hots for Passat CC
Post by: NZDoug on June 25, 2012, 04:21:12 PM
Got one loaned to me 2009 3.6 4mo silver all the extras, sun roof, air conditioned/heated seats, tan and black interior, Interlogos rims that look like G.E. turbofan jet engines....
It can parallel park on auto pilot.
30,000 kms.
ooohhhhhhh....
The missus even likes it.
What does it take to fill the tank, $125?
What clicks per tank ? 600km?
Is it the same engine/ tweak as R36?
Are the maintenance costs similar to the tdi?

Its got Continental 235/40 R18 self healing tires with 4mm tread all round.
How much per tire ? $400?
Really nice car, imho.

Only 2 in the front, but, what a way to go!
Ive never had 3 in the back of my B 6 TDI, so no big deal from my point of view.
I think its a cool machine for the "over the hill gang", me being a young 67   :D
The missus said shes never driven a car that snarls....

The drive train appears to be the same as the R36 (220kW/350Nm/6spd DSG).

Not sure about the suspension tuning.

IMO looks nicer than an R36.

:D

70L fuel tank so will take a bit more than $125 to fill...

There is one in my neighbourhood and I admire it every time it drives by and a friend down the road, who can't see past BMW'S, commented to me 'how nice it was'

Your one is so much nicer looking than the latest blunt nosed version.

Shape, colour, wheels = perfect.

:D

New one looks like a Ford Falcon, blaaah

This one has a nice tropical feel with the cream and Alcantra leather seats.
The dash is "Vavona" walnut with glass panorama roof, air conditioned or heated seats, rear electric sun blind, just add palm trees.
SWEET AS!

Now you know how I feel when I run through a full tank of 98 in the 80GTE. But then I typically get 900+ for the effort..... I try fill up when she gets to half, doesn't seem quite as painful.

But as Anton says, TDi. That'd see some k's on that size tank.
Title: Re: Got hots for Passat CC
Post by: NZDoug on June 30, 2012, 10:30:21 AM
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

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

Post by: Pristle on June 30, 2012, 04:09:23 PM
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.

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.

So first fuel up today,
532k. 140 was highway.
Used 62.2L. Hi octane @ $2.07=$129.32 grocery 5 cent disc inc. :-X

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!
Title: Re: Got hots for Passat CC
Post by: NZDoug on February 22, 2013, 06:56:07 PM
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.

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.
