 Do they still make the Santanna [Passat saloon] in China or am I way behind the times? I know they made them there for many years after VW stopped making them.

They still do the Santana in China, not sure for how long, now, as the chinese market for cars is growing and growing and there are more modern competitors... it is now called Santana 3000 and looks more modern, but still the old shell... i don't know why i am addicted to these cars; it is just a bread-and-butter car (as we say in germany), but maybe that's what's the answer: very reliable cars, you get used to them and suddenly they are all gone.... i am not using them as a daily driver anymore; i have the Type 25 for this, but i think i need some more ;D mr_Bo11ox : so go on and buy one; in France they might be easier to find than in the UK ? |

I will! There was a great Santana on French Ebay last week, I bid on it and was determined to win it, but the seller pulled the ad after 5 days and totally ignored all my emails, offers and questions! To55er. It was a GX5 too.  In fact these are pretty rare here in France too, there is a nice old 5-cyl Santana in my town but they don't come up very often for sale anywhere I've looked. |

 this mint example was found on a scrapyard by a friend of me.... an elderly man gave up driving and brought the car there...  there were only a couple of things to do, then he sold it on to another collector.... i'll keep my eyes open for a Santana; i know a hatchback for sale not too far away from here, one of 26 Passat Mk2s existing with the "big" 136 BHP 5cylinder.... i am tempted to buy it, but not sure yet what to do... |

Oooof! That is a honey! If I could get any mk2 passat it would be a 5-cyl santana.
when you say 'big', are there two different 5-cyl engines fitted to these cars?

is it the "passat santana", or is the santana a different model (in a sort of Golf-Jetta style relationship)? i do admit to a bit of a soft spot for the GX5's, fond memories of surfing around the old NAS site on the roof of one  sounded lovely until i fell off. |

mr_Bo11ox : there were several 5 cylinders available from 1,9 - 2,2l 1,9 carbed engine (engine code WN) 115 BHP 2,0 CIS fuel injection (JS) 115 BHP (in my opinion the smoothest engine) 2,2l CIS with cat (KX) 115 BHP, lots of torque 2,2l CIS w/o cat (KV) 136 BHP, very quick, but very rare, as far as i know this engine wasn't available in the Santana; the only Passat with rear brake discs (rear axle identical to Golf Mk.2 16V) some real brave people drive a Santana 1,6 diesel automatic ! the JS engine seems to be the most common 5cyl. engine for the UK; lots of potential though, as a friend of me has the engine from the Audi 200 20V (220BHP) fitted in the syncro wagon... Pillock: Passat/Santana share the same platform, until 85 the Santana was available, after 86 it was called Passat sedan.... most of the technical parts are identical with the Audi 80 Type 81/85, rear suspension and exhaust are different...

Wow that Audi 200-powered one must be superb.
Is the rear suspension a lot different from an Audi 80 then? I imagine them to be very similar cars underneath.

I had a i.6 diesal cl estate in doom blue it was one of the best motors i've ever owned, sure there was nothin left of the lower quarter pannel or the bottoms of the door's but the old dear kept solidering on ! it was given to me as the previous owner didn't think it would pass the mot (and he was too tight to pay to have it removed), another set of wheels and a bulb and it sailed through , i sold it to a friend of mine and he sent it to the scrap heap in the sky six months later  got mk4 passat now but it aint the same |
