Does anyone know the maximum weight the VW OEM Roof Rack can support on the Passat B5 1.8T sedan?

I am planning to move soon, and trying to figure out the max weight I can safely transport cross country (weight including the racks, filled cargo box, and one bicycle on the side).

I read the Passat B5 variant has a roof limit of 220 LBS on the roof. However, found nothing for the B5 1.8T sedan.

There isn't anything in the owner's manual about it? I can try to dig out a 2000MY manual I have to check.....

For OEM Votex bars, I believe it's 165#/74kg. I want to say it's on the underside of the bar on an info sticker.
