simonb Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Saw a Passat whilst heading towards Belfast. Dark blue and said 'W8 4Motion' on the back. is this right or is it just an 'LX' chavved up?? Did get a pic but not emptied my camera yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Nope, that is a real model. It is a 4 litre W8 config engine. (in effect, 2 V4's joined at the cranckshaft. Produces 280 BHP and a lovely sound. A very sound investment secondhand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallachie Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 The PSNI have two W8 Passat estates, which are usually seen along the M2 leading to and from Belfast. Was it an estate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonb Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Right. I wasn't sure as i saw an 02 plate 'V5' model today too. All very confusing. Never really thought of the Passat as being such a sporty model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't police as a Vectra unmarked police car overtook us both and the guy in the Passat didn't react as he would if he was a police officer - i.e. didn't follow or join in.
