What year is it? (personally id stick with the 5) before you swap see if you can jack it up and check the suspensiion links on it, theres 5 ball joints on each side, and get costly to replace them all. (two lower wishbones and ball joints two upper arms with ball joints and the track rod end) They are nice cars also has it had its second cambelt? with 149k it should of.

Don't do it bud, swapping a GTT for a Passat turbo is like selling a George Foreman grille and buying a toaster from Lidl.

I know which one i would rather have. :)

by vag what engine year and code do u mean is 40k?? i know circa 2003ish is 80k or 4 years



Passat 2000-2004 1.8l 4cyl engine code AUG and AWM are 105kmiles but id never recommend that.

Sorry for the hijack, for an R reg, id say stick with the 5 more fun :D unless u need to save money on fuel. long distance would suit the passat more.
