Doubtful he has a Passat diesel, as they were only available in automatics in North America in 05, not available in diesel at all in 06. I would say he has an A5 body Jetta with a BRM engine and a 5spd. If so, there have been a few problems with the dual mass flywheels on these cars (ever since they started using Sachs clutch kits and flywheels for the DMF). The best thing you can do is to switch to a VR6 clutch disc and pressure plate and a G60 flywheel (it is a SMF from the 1.8L engine that bolts right up and is 228mm). Check out TDIclub(dot)com. There is a whole forum on these cars. They are great cars. I own an 05.5 (the late 05s with the new body style) and love the car. When I had the regular tires on it, I was getting 45-47 mpg on the highway, then I got some 235/45/17 tires (compared to the 205/65/16) with some really sticky continentals and my mileage went down to around 40-43 on the highway, but the added traction is well worth it and saved me from nailing a goat on the interstate (only in Kentucky does a goat get away from the state troopers on the side of the road without warning and run in front of you lol). Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. I am away from my car at college right now, but I have a service manual for the car also. Great car and the new Common Rail 2.0 already has stellar reviews on the forum from most of the people, described as being much more refined (and plus it gets a 6spd manual!!! lucky).

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
