QLD Ordered New VW Passat 118TSI Yesterday 4 June 2012

[MattDav]

Hello All

Traded-in my 2006 Jetta Diesel (DSG) for a new white Passat 118TSI with Park Assist 2 yesterday. "She Who Must Be Obeyed" would have preferred a smaller car, but the Park Assist 2 option was a convincing enough point to get a "large" car.

I live in Brisbane and got a good changeover deal on the Passat from Bryan Byrt Volkswagen. My Jetta had 86,000kms on the odometer, and with the the current VW Australia sale I took the opportunity to trade up. The Jetta had been an excellent car and , apart from regular services, it never saw the inside of a garage for any type of repair or adjustment. Hope the Passat is just as good.

Can anyone point me to a posting which discusses the availability of after-market LED Daytime Driving Lights for the Passat? It appears that the standard DRLs are incandescent. Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers
MattD

Welcome to the forums Matt
Hope we can get you out to some of our events and that the Passat treats you as well as the Jetta did.

Welcome to the forum! Lucky the Passat isn't "too" big but I'd love to see the park assist 2 in person sometime!

Any particular options on your car? What colour? You can purchase generic LED strips for your car as I don't think they've made anything model specific for the new Passat. TMTuning and ECS Tuning have some good alternatives for this Good luck!
