My Dad’s 2000 V70. Now ours. Lots of memories, some bitter sweet. I

know he’d be thrilled with the care I’m giving it.

W8 Passat all cleaned up and ready to roll down to the Tail of The Dragon for Wookies in The Woods 2024. Hope she makes it there/back! I've done a lot of maintenance over the last few mos so should be smooth sailing. Running HPL 5W40 in this one with Maxlife ATF for the TipTragic auto and Redline gear oils in the rear/center/front boxes. I got it in today and got a brake pad warning light (too thin), I have ~50% of my front pads left (looks like the sensor insert is at ~6mm/50% so probably just old/broke early) and these are ~$150 pads (4 per side!) so after inspecting it, just cut the wires to the pad sensor and jumped it. Warning light issue solved.

It isn't/wasn't broken?

I think he's referring to your recent YT video of leaking Atlas panoramic roof, and simply has it confused with Passat. Or I could be wrong.

The venerable Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Great tires. I'm not pushing it that hard either...this isn't the car for that.
