Bagged B7 Passat - A Simple Daily

Yeah. These VW batteries dont last very long. 3-4 years and since you live in vt the extreme changes in climate wont help. What part of vt are you from?

[Oh Damn, it's Sam]

It's possible you've just got a battery hanging onto the fringes of life, but draw up a quick diagram of how you've got the compressor wired, and I'll check it over to make sure something goofy isn't happening.

Got the bags installed but now having power issues... hooked the compressor to cigarette lighter so it kicks on with ignition but whenever I go to start the car the dash lights blink but it wont turn over as if it doesnt have enough power to start. so i jumped it and it started right up, when I took it off the cables it died right away. I disconnected the power wire from the compressor to battery, charged the batter for an hour and the car started right up.... any clue whatsup??

Picture for talking, need to get the rear lower..

Hey guys, I've got another build thread on here which is way more of a real build then this one will be, but anyways I recently sold my 2003 wrx and bought a 2012 VW Passat 2.5l 5-cyl with low miles. Something very reliable as a daily for my commute to and from school....
With the help of Eric www.highintakeperformance.com I got a deal on Airlift Slam Series bags that I couldn't pass up...

My past and current cars:









Bags should be here by next weekend, not positive when I will be able to install them however.. Just tinted windows at 5% rear and doing 20% front and waiting for 3K HIDs to come in the mail... still playing out wheel options in my head... feel free to shoot me suggestions!
