Here in Canada, you can't have a tint that blocks more than 30% of the light on the front windows. Back and rear windows are not limited to anything. Makes for a good compromise and usually cops don't mind all the way up to 50%. You can still clearly see where you're going.

Tbh it isn't legal to tint the front windows here either. But Jones did it anyway Laugh

I'm just having a regular Ford owner evening! My regular oil service turned into something a bit bigger (half the fillings in the engine bay are now out Biggrin

) but luckily it's a fun and easy engine to work on.

Was the go-faster stripe a factory option? Or did you buy it from a noob?

I could imagine that Escort needs a lot of work?

The black/white paintjob (except for the bonnet) was done last year, the car was originally a sort of stale blue and grey.

And not really, the engine was built early this year so literally almost everything is brand new (crank, pistons, head, valves, lifters, timing, distributor etc.).

Mostly I'm just changing fluids and other service items + fixing a botched timing belt replacement, the tensioner here is quite tricky so I can see why it got messed up.

I could've done with a lot less work but I'm going to do everything in one go while I'm taking it apart W00t

Atleast then I will know that everything is proper.

As a bonus I'm putting new clear indicators on.

EDIT: Oh yeah and FINALLY after so much mucking about (never delegate ordering parts to other people, it just doesn't work) my winter tires are ready to go under the car with new bolts and adapters.

That Passat truly has an amazing color. Looks good for it Thumbup1

**[TC]►Spark◄** · 2014-11-02, 09:16

That Passat is looking amazing Spe, look after it well Wink

**[TC] Special** · 2014-11-02, 12:09

Yeh waiting on some decent weather so it can have a proper clean and polish etc

**[RDSR] Roba** · 2014-11-02, 17:04

I see the passat's are good cars. All Diesel engined one's I've been looking for have at least 300,000km on them, before going to newer models or way out of my price range..

New family car ;/

other side is a bit damaged though. (previous owner crashed it and failed to do a good job with fixing Biggrin

1,9 litre TDI VW Passat 1997 Wink

4,7 litre consuption per 100 KM Biggrin

Cola · 2014-11-03, 13:04

4,7 litres pr 100 km is really extremely low (good) for such an old car. Did you actually test that yourself?

Toni · 2014-11-03, 13:07

Dad tested it via the cars computer Biggrin

i cant drive yet Biggrin

Cola · 2014-11-03, 13:18

Damn. Very impressive. That's more than 20 km/l in a 17 year old car. We get 5,3 l/100km on my dads Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI, but that's a newer car and a bigger engine.

Derbi sweg. And quite nice fuel economy in your new car Toni, my dad's C200 CDI Mercedes does 5,0l/100km, and that's a 2011 model.

My golf is just running 0.6 - 0.7 in gas and also 1.8 + sportsystem is not harming the fuel, same year as Tonis Passat 97
