Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • How big a tank in a CC

    hi all, strange question but does anyone know exactly how big a fuel tank a Cc Has? I assumed 70ltrs, inter web says 68ltrs
    Reason i ask is that the other night i had at least 3ltrs left in the tank and i managed to fill it with 72ltrs of vortex diesel, hence my confusion
    Cheers

    The filler neck can hold some fuel, but not 5L. Perhaps there wasn't 3L left.

      I did think that but i filled 72ltrs from the pump and had 45ks worth according to distance thingy so my thoughts were as my cars ltr per 100 is a constant, 6/100 so figured there was at least 3ltrs, but wanted to see if anyone had a firm idea on the exact size ie it might be 75

        The 'estimated range' (emphasis on estimated) is just a calculation based on your current rate of fuel consumption.

        It doesn't acutally measure the amount of fuel remaining in your car.


        Fuel tank capacity of your 2009 VW Passat CC is approximately 70 l.

        The 2012 VW CC (which dropped the prefix Passat) has a capacity of approx. 68 l.

          It also could be the pump error, not in you favour. It happens to me too sometimes.

            I always fill at the same pump - but on some occasions when I've really pushed it into the red, I've put 57L into my 55L octavia tank

            perhaps you were patient enough filling to also fill up the vent tank.
