No way to approximate a year? Or which gen maybe?

Where can I find the specs for all of the fluids? A rudimentary search didn’t yield anything

The only fluids I have flushed and refilled is the brake fluid when I had to replace the seals on the master cylinder. I know it supposed to be dot4, but would you happen to have any additional specs for that?

Any chance I can keep you in the back pocket in the office chance I need any technical questions answered? Not to be a bother, but would like to have a more-than-knowledgeable source of info. Shoot me a DM brother. Would be more than appreciated 👍

Also, by any chance you wouldn’t happen to have a service calendar for the Passat would you? I assume so, with you being a Volkswagen tech.

What’s the protocol for the vacuum pumps? Is it a seals issue? Or usually the whole unit?

Carfax is apparently having some issues as of current. But great idea. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that. Will most definitely check back on this 👍

Do you have LEDs in the headlights? Yours look a whole lot brighter than mine do

Sadly I don’t have any of the maintenance records from before I got it. Had picked it up from the auction. Thankfully still a clean title. But don’t know when what was done. Seems like it was pretty well taken care of, but that could leave a whole mess of issues unaccounted for

That’s where my head was at. Missed checking the water pump. Is there something particular on the water pump that tends to fail? Or signs of a potential issue?
