Volkswagen Passat B3 is an old car, but quite reliable. Made in Germany where quality is the main focus.

Technical features

Most often, the engine in the Volkswagen Passat B3 is eight-valve. Volume - 1.8 l. For those who like to “ride with the breeze”, this car is rather weak: the average speed is 100 km / h, the maximum speed on a flat highway can be accelerated to 178 km. Most often, the color of the Volkswagen Passat B3 is black.

The two-liter engine has become more widespread among motorists, as it can accommodate 115 horsepower. The 1.8-liter engine has only 90 hp. Therefore, the maximum speed of a car with a two-liter engine is 195 km per hour. And cars with an engine capacity of 1.6 and 1.8 liters are not worth buying - they are low-powered.

The best version has a 2.8-liter engine and 174 horsepower. One of the advantages of this modification is a very powerful chain, although it should be changed every 90,000 km. But the reviews of the owners say something else - you need to change it after a run of 60,000 km.

In the standard version, the Passat B3 engines have a volume of 1.6 and 1.9 liters, with a power of 68 and 80 hp. Despite the durability, this Passat model has one problem: oil leaks quickly. Because of this, the gearbox often fails. Therefore, you always need to monitor the oil level.

In order for the hydraulic power steering to work for a long time and properly, the fluid must be changed every 70 thousand kilometers. The best fluid is G002.

Trade winds up to 100 horsepower have front disc and rear drum brakes, more powerful cars of this brand are additionally equipped with disc brakes at the rear.

Body

The main advantage of the body is the paintwork, which gives resistance to corrosion. The manufacturer has improved the coverage of the rear arches and sills, as these places are most prone to rust.

Pads can be installed on the lower part of the door and hood, and the trunk is protected from decay thanks to special stickers. Door handles are frost resistant. Therefore, to protect this model, you need to buy special covers.

Volkswagen B3 is designed for smooth and good roads due to small clearances and overhangs. Models should be chosen those that have a good front bumper. The clearance and overhangs of the car are small, so it is better to drive it on good roads. It is necessary to select models with a high-quality and good front bumper. According to the reviews of the owners of cars of this brand, the bodies proved to be excellent in operation. The harness is very comfortable and inexpensive. Trailing arms, struts, shock absorbers and springs are very high quality.

Diesel engines

Diesel engines are rarely used in the trade wind b3. Here is the main list of diesel engines that are suitable for this model:

SB (models 08.89-10.93) volume - 1.6 liters, power - 80 horsepower. It includes a turbocharger and an intercooler.

RA (08.88-07.89) is a complete analogue of SB.

AAZ (models 03.91-12.96 g). Volume - 1.9 liters, power - 75 liters. With. Equipped with turbo only

1Y (05.89-10.93) Volume - 1.9 liters, power - 64 hp The most budget option among all the others.
