Selling this purely because I miss having an older dub no other reason at all and I'm sure I will regret it as this has been perfect, never let me down and saved me a lot of money on fuel bills.
1997 1.9tdi Volkswagen Passat
Only 2 previous owners including me so you will only be the 3rd
MOT - September 2010
Tax - August 2010
Mileage - 130,000
Location - Cambridgeshire, ely near cambridge
Contact number - 07957125588 or feel free to PM/Email me and of course reply here.
Service history: Full Vw history up to 100k, then serviced by myself, has had a recent cambelt at around 120k so won't need one for a while so thats a good peace of mind for the new owner.
Interior - All in good condition with no rips, burns, major wear or damage. Rear drivers side window is intermittent but I never really use the back windows anyway so could just be a dry connection but I havent looked into it. Needs a new gear gaitor as I was having a custom one made but they lost the original they was using for a pattern, easy and cheap to get from somebody breaking a car or get one off ebay or something.
Exterior - Lovely colorado red which contrasts lovely with the black trim and black wheels, polishes up good. Few little trolly bumps and scrapes as with any cars of this age nothing major really that couldnt be sorted with a good detail session.
Engine & gearbox - All in good health, 110bhp 1.9tdi, these engines tune up well if thats your thing, a remap will see a good 130hp to keep up with the PD engines, these VE pump engines are the best for tuning, check out tdi club for results. Great economy as standard, 55mpg easily, 60mph achievable with a light right foot so could save you fair bit on your fuel bills if your currently running a thirsty petrol engine. These engines will also take veg oil or bio diesel straight out of the box unlike the PD engines so even more oppertunity for cheap fuel, I have only ever run it on diesel personally though. 5 speed gearbox in good condition with no crunches or whines.
Other mechanical - Everything in good order no problems to report or strange noises, On hot tuning coilovers as you can see from the pictures its pretty low and it looks awesome but of course the great thing about coilovers is its a quick and easy job to change the height to whatever you like. Front end has been sorted as anybody into these will know they are common for bush and suspension problems but this one has been sorted and is in great health. Needs the aircon regassing as with any aircon car of this age really, aircons not really my thing I prefer to have the window down so I have never bothered but you can get it done at halfords cheap these days.
Wheels - 17" mercedes segins in black with 4 near new tyres so will not need worrying about for quite some time.
Misc - On irish ageless plates with cool "paz" prefix that goes well with the car so nobody will know how old your car is and those who aren't in the know will think its a private plate, of course included in the sale
Essentially its a great looking car already makes a perfect cool daily if you fancy something a little different or could be a cool car for the shows and meets with great potential to go further.
Only looking for £1800ono which I think is a very fair price for a car like this even standard let alone with all the extra's this one comes with. May sell for less without the segins, choice of audi a4 sport alloys or standard steels to take it away on.
Not looking for swaps or PX really as I have already replaced it with a b3 passat.

Did I not do the secret handshake or something?
