go to the back of you car, look under it and see if you have a straight beam going across the car or you have a rear diff with axles going from it to the wheels... if you do have the diff then you do have 4mo...
but usually they have the 4 motion signs all over the car, outside and inside by the gear selector...

 

oh yea welcom to the club

 

Welcome!

You do not have 4Motion. 1.8T 4 Motions were only produced in late 2004 and 2005. Enjoy your new car!

 

Yup and for others who may find this via search:
dual exhaust and a rear diff

 

OH NO ,ITS BEEN AWHILE FOR A POST LIKE THIS ONE ,HERE WE GO AGAIN

 

go to snowy parking lot, turn off ESP, turn wheel all the way to one direction, put in tip all the way to 1st, and hammer it, if you start doing donuts you have 4 motion

 

Hahaha, sounds like fun!

 

If you are passing everyone else in this snow we recently had, you have 4 mo I love my car today:thumbup:

 

or you have really good snow tires on a FWD and know how to drive in the snow oke:

 

NOPE you dont have 4motion.......if you had a 2004 then you might have had a chance to have it

 

thanks for the help

 

do you have it?

 

Don't forget that other acronym EDL Electronic Differential Lock. That's the electronic control that keeps you from doing the one-wheel peel. Quite useful in foul weather.

 

How do you know your car is really a Passat?

 

TRUEeeeeeeeee .. it might be a De-badged jetta

 

no i dont have it like most of you said

 

how do you turn off your esp? and what is that by the way

 

Electronic Stability Program, there is a button that says ESP near the radio, you press it to turn it off. Looking at the year of your car you probably dont have it.

 

maybe its ASR same place as the ESP button, does the same thing just much more stupid and blunt on controlling the car.
