haldex filter

[passat 130 tdi]

will my 2001 pd 130 bhp passat have this haldex filter fitted. ????

what exactly is it ????

It does not have one, the Haldex filter is for cars with the VW 4-Motion system which uses an electronically controlled rear coupling (made by the Sweedish company Haldex) to engage the 4wd, your car has the Audi quattro system, proper 4wd!

Ahh, so not a Passat 4M then. I did wonder, they are rare but that is the engine they came with for the UK.

would 16 or 17 inch tyres give better control , the 15" stock are rubbish at control anything over a tad more power into corners or roundabouts. i have only cheapish tyres fitted at the moment due to the miles i do , but was pondering toyos on 17 " rims.

8x18's with 225/40 Uniroyal RS1's, makes a Passat look amazing, especially when lowered a little with a properly designed suspension kit.
