Six Speed 4Motion: 2004 Volkswagen Passat W8


The Passat W8 is one of those wonderfully irrational Volkswagen engineering exercises: take a midsize B5.5 family sedan, install a 4.0-liter 32-valve W8 (with 270 hp and 273 lb-ft.), add 4Motion AWD, and then—because apparently that still wasn’t complicated enough—offer it with a 6-speed manual. You will have the only one in your neighborhood, and nobody else will notice. Find this 2004 Volkswagen Passat W8 offered for $8400 in Encino, CA via facemotion marketwait.

What a beautiful creature. I like imagine every service item requires pulling the engine. Such a cool unicorn.
At the very least it prolly requires the “Audi service position” (look it up, not an anatomical euphemism lol) for most things, but they’re designed for that — just undo a few bolts and clips to remove the entire front fascia, remove the radiator, then everything’s exposed and easily accessible. For some jobs you can replace a couple of those bolts with a longer-shank one and just slide the fascia forward by a few inches.
