Ive always wanted a 6cyl or 8cyl turbo awd manual sedan to daily and having a 4motion w8 passat and slapping twin turbos on it has always been a pipe dream of mine. Ive always thought of it as half of a bugatti (w8 with 2 turbo like bugatti is w16 with 4 turbos)

The odometer rolled over 114,000 miles as I decided this car's best years are yet to come. The W8 handled the drive home from Michigan without breaking a sweat. It even scored mid 20s for miles per gallon! Why is This Passat W8 Manual Rough At All? Those who know what a manual Passat W8 is know that these cars are super rare in the United States.

By Braden Carlson - October 15, 2021. Bizarre eight-cylinder all-wheel-drive Volkswagen Passat W8 is rare in its own right. However, a manual transmission makes it the holy grail. The last thing that comes to mind when you think of a Volkswagen Passat is a rarity. Furthermore, you wouldn't often think of them as anything special in general.

Cars I've owned include a 96 Jetta, 2001 Kia Sephia, 2000 Accord, and now my Passat. All manual transmissions. It's the way I was raised I guess. My mom drives an e90 328xi 6mt, my Dad drives an MKV Jetta 5mt. Their third vehicle is a 1983 Alpha Spider. That being said, I think my next daily driver might be a VAG product with a DSG.

A W8 Passat was extra strange. And you could get it with a manual and all-wheel drive and in a wagon. That's a lot checked off on the imaginary Unexpectedly Cool Car Checklist (UCCC).

The W8 Passat is a truly special - and unusual - car. It hails from a time of some especially odd decisions from Volkswagen, but an unconventional 8-cylinder family wagon may have been the strangest. This particular example touts the rare 6-speed manual tranmission, all-wheel-drive, and few modifications.

The Passat might at first seem an unlikely choice for the unusual W8 engine. But, at just 16.5 x 28 x 26.9 inches, the W8 fit neatly into the car's engine bay, which until then could only accommodate up to a V6 engine. The late 90s was a time of growth for Volkswagen, and Piëch sought to ride the wave into higher-end market segments.

The passat W8 is the only time the W8 motor was ever used, and it sounds amazing unlike the vacuum cleaner w12 and 16s. This. Getting up to speed is/was effort less. Our W8 was one of my favourite Volkswagen's that we've owned, and was the (unintentional) car that made me realize that I have a heavy foot.

It's incomplete, but goes through a good bit and gives an idea of scope. Thought I'd document a manual swap on the 1.8T for the B5/B5.5 folks. This pertains specifically to the B5.5, but the B5 and V6 is similar. I couldn't have undertaken this project without the help of the many resources in the Audi Forums below.
