Hey guys I'm Jason. Have a 2005 passat wagon that I bought last year from an old vw member. Great car but I have a few questions from the old owner. A lot of you guys from Calgary know him, Alex popp..

Also this car might be up for sale soon. My family is getting big for this ride but fun too drive

Thanks guys

Alex is a great guy for sure, and I still drool at the thought of that car. Would have even thought about selling mine for it.

I like that car. I ended up getting the same thing. Mine is an exception and has been total b!tch to me, but I really like it and am getting the issues sorted out. For my 2 girls, it's the perfect car. Just got back from a road trip up the Sunshine Coast in it. Pretty much a great ride all round, and even with a Thule box and two bikes on the roof, and fully loaded inside, I still got 6.5-6.9 L/100km. Hoping to sort out a nice hitch for it so I can add more bikes. If you choose to part with it, it should sell pretty quick I would think.

Wow that's great mileage. He said it gets over 1100 / hwy but never got that. Just got the glow plugs replaced for that recall,and they flashed the ECM. Now I need to get it re done or maybe something else installed. My wife and I like to drive it but I think with three small kids it might not be the right car for us..

I thought that he said I could just get it re flashed at Das auto in red deer, but it sounds like I need to pay full price to get it done. Should do for resale but 550 is a bit of money.

Unitronics didn't charge me for the reflash, when I had my recall done...I would imagine Popp will help you out... Mexican mafia leader he is!!! lol

Watch out though Alex is always looking to impregnate other peoples wives as he already has too many of his own. In that case you would definitely need a bigger car.
