her name is Lana (yes ok I'm sad!)

Good afternoon all,

Just curious as to whether anyone knows of where to get reliable tech info/car info etc etc for my car

'98 passat 1.8 turbo.
I'd love to get a workshop manual and an actual factory car booklet (you know the kind that you keep in your glovebox?)

also, does anyone know of any good performance upgrades for these? or places that specialise in doing work to VW's?

cheers guys
Jay

p.s. dude, how's your combi going?

IN Sydney, Mullers is the place to modify your car...

I got a Golf GTI 04 with the 1.8T it's a great engine always very happy when i drive it, as for tech manuals i looked into getting a official VW manual by Bentley and it was about $250, i still haven't bought it, as for performance upgrades contact Harding performance in Brisbane and he can tell you who to get in contact with down there. Nice car to mate. Cheers Damo.
