Hi after finally finding a very decent 1997 vw passat B5 estate locally I thought it best to join a club / Forum for help, advice and general chit chat. Are there any local club meets or car shows for these classic cars 

Kind regards Gary 

Hi Gary and welcome to the Club

Unfortunately, we haven't as yet organised events for the club as it is more of an online rather than physically based club.
However, if you wish to start up a local VW Owners Club gathering or event then feel free and we can help you promote it.

Good to have you onboard

Hi many thanks for having me in you're club. No worries about the meetings its just nice to know there are people who are interested in the same cars 

Kind regards Gary 

My 1997 B5 passat. Last owner had it 16 years, always garaged, full service history, and everything and I mean everything still works. Original tool kits, first aid kit ect 

Looks amazing original condition - what a great car from a really good era for car manufacturing.
Make sure you check under the passenger floor area for any water ingress into the ECU that is in there
