What?! Dude, go back and see if you can get me one!

**j_m_o_a** · 07-25-2009 06:36 PM

sorry they were a return item. they had been up oin the trusses of the roof of the building for a good 10 years my buddy told me.
I asked and there are some still down in the wharehouse in the uss but they go new for close to 300 us dollars.

**Passat94VR6** · 07-25-2009 11:52 PM

well where's the pics?!

**VDub2625** · 08-28-2009 05:34 PM

More!

I found part numbers for a B3 airbag system in ETKA... but I didn't believe it. I figured it was "supposed" to come here and they never made it or something (kinda like how Climatronic is in the owner's manual and ETKA for my '93...)

I always figured they just held off on airbags until the '95s since they were coming out soon.

**Wrenhaven** · 08-28-2009 06:01 PM

Some rare stuff going on there!

**VDub2625** · 09-05-2009 06:44 PM

Anyone got pics of the Canada-only 1.9l diesel? Or any B3/4 diesel for that matter?

**DubIreland** · 09-05-2009 07:57 PM

There are a few 1.9 diesels in the UK as far as I know. There are deffinatly some 1.6 TD intercooled B3s here in Ireland too.

MINE IS ALIVE! and she is a 1991 B3!!!

**sprocket007** · 09-06-2009 06:41 AM

That 1.9 diesel came in alot of canadian cars such as late MKII's...and B3 passats!

I have a set of those roof racks too...I got them from the pick n pull for $9.99!

**VDub2625** · 09-06-2009 07:18 AM

All Mk2s had a 1.6... the 1.9 is the same engine but with a bigger bore IIRC. B3 passat and early pre-TDi mk3 only.

**pineman** · 09-08-2009 09:54 AM

My G60 syncro has factory tow bar with a signal light for it on dash. It flashes if trailer is connected with turnsignal. Here the light is rae, don't if case is so elsewhere..

**VDub2625** · 09-08-2009 10:01 AM

We never got it here, though it seems common in Euro models (Mk2, Mk3, Passat, etc). it needs a special turn signal relay that flashes the extra light when it senses 6 turn signal lights connected...

**DubnDan** · 09-10-2009 02:59 AM

How about these OEM bad boys:

1) OEM Accessory Cassette Holder

2) OEM Accessory Cassette Holder

3) OEM Accessory Mudflaps - Front and Rear - Still sealed and never opened (I have a set on my car as well). They have been obsolete forever.

You mean forever!

**VDub2625** · 09-10-2009 07:58 AM

I found a Passat with those mudflaps in the JY the other day... I was thinking about getting them but I could only find the front of one side and the rear of another

Obsolete???? Not. They pop in the 818 every now and then:

(Kind of hard to see the front one, iPhone pic)

Couldn't miss those custom licence plate bolt dents on your bumper cover though.

Obsolete means no longer available from the dealer... not unavailable used or NOS.

**izzo** · 09-10-2009 10:38 PM

Don't tell me you buy parts from the dealer

**VDub2625** · 09-10-2009 10:40 PM

That's what he was referring to. Dealer parts can be suprisingly cheap- sometime scheaper then used or other alternatives!

I usually run numbers by the dealer when i need to buy something just in case... ya never know.

**izzo** · 09-10-2009 10:46 PM

That's one

P.S. Let's not turn this into a OT chit-chat

Bingo! And thank-you. I agree with your findings about the dealer. I got my OEM cassette holder from the dealer for $5.00. it was the last one in North America. I find that the dealer is very good for pricing on old car parts.

Rare?
It`s edition one

I don't think I've seen a B3/B4 in the US with this rear view mirror:
