What's going on fellow Vdubbers?
I'm new to this site just thought I'd say hi to everyone...
I recently bought a completely stock 1999 Passat V6 - navy blue colour, I'm gonna try and get some pics up soon
I'm slowly thinking about what mods I'm gonna add come spring time any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!

Welcome. 1st thing to do is an inspection and determine what maintenance is needed. After that, I would change the suspension and the wheels/tires when the tires wear out.

Yep, I did that i had it completely checked out - changed the brakes, engine oil, tranny oil (all synthetic) and fixed some electrical problems i was having with my alarm system and lights in my cluster...she looks brand new it seems someone took care of her but unfortunately no history

For the mods, I would start with a suspension upgrade. Then add wheels once the tires wear out. Keep the stockers for your winter tires.

I was talking to a VW/Audi service manager and asked about chipping my Passat. He informed me that if Audi did the upgrade there would not be any warranty issues. However, if I have a engine code appear and they flash it to see what the problem is, this would erase the programming. Does this sound right?
