the green passat is up to 1994, a 92 model looking at the plate, then they "face lifted" them slightly, then in 1996 they totally re-vamped them
with full on computers n stuff, 
i had a 96 1.9 turbo diesel, fuel is expensive in the uk so i used to run mine on used veg oil, clean it, dry it, the free fuel for me, yippee!!! 
they are a very good car, galvo bodys, no rust, lots of speed and towing power!! 
my 96 model pastit was the old one not the "new" one

chains? naaah! we towed each of my kombis home on a renta-trailer with only ropes and the handbrake on, got interesting on one occasion when the
handbrake went as we were going over the curb into our drive
