    Hi lads, looking for some advice. I've got a 04 passat estate and my buddy has a 05 passat saloon. His injectors are knackered so I'm buying it off him for scrap parts and taking it off road on blocks. Its the same colour so parts wouldn't need spraying.. however, I then was thinking that cause mine is the estate will the front bodywork parts actually fit mine? If anyone has any knowledge I'm all ears. Also, I'm planning to put in the gear box from his into mine next summer when I get time. (Mine is grinding up and 2nd hand already). Will his gear box fit mine cause mine is red i (tdi) but his is just standard tdi. I was thinking it wouldn't matter with gearboxes but someone might be able to confirm if I'm correct.

    Well I'd be fairly certain the gearbox will fit but I'm by no means an expert. Cannot see an issue with body parts from front either but the window frame on rear door needs to be swapped if changing rear doors

    A1 Needles73, i didn't realise I could just swap window frames for the back doors. I thought they'd just be no use for mine so that's good to know.
