Aidan you need to check the kerb weight of the passat, l have feeling its below 1600 in which case the van would be to heavy, but check first l maybe wrong.

Like NGH says, the kerbweight may be a little low for an ideal combination, but the max. towload of that particular model should be well in excess of 1600kg, so you need to check the data.

Read on this forum that Vw Passat have multi plate clutches and burn out very easy. Worth looking into before purchase.

Treat the result with a certain amount caution, though. Their data is not always 100% reliable.
