Body modifications

To fulfill the claims of greater luxury and safety,
the body of the Passat W8 has been
strengthened. By strengthening, we make a
distinction between reinforcement to improve the
acoustics and reinforcement to increase crash
safety.
Spare-wheel well
Welded rear
bulkhead
The cross strut between the front wheel housings is also enclosed on cars fitted with a V6 engine
(petrol and diesel models).

We have modified the spare wheel well to attach
the auxiliary fuel tank. On the saloon, the rear
bulkhead is welded to the rear backrest. The
backrest of the rear seat bench is therefore not
foldable.
