1990 B3 Passat Estate. 1.8 Petrol.
MOT till October 2014.
Tax till 12/13
Techniques coilovers
15" New Mini steels, bored out to 50.7 mm
Just under 185,000 miles
550 Quid
The car is in Winchester, but I am going to Bristol this weekend.
Bad points
Needs a new front engine mount.
Leaks through the rear passenger side door in heavy rain.
Slight play in Near side Mcpherson strut (MOT advisory)
Off side rear wheel bearing needs tightening up (MOT advisory)
Rusty rear bike lines, both sides (MOT advisory)
Could do with new spark plugs.
3 tiny rust chips and the Off side rear quarter has been keyed a few years ago.
A couple of tears in the headliner from a rabbit hutch not wanting to come out of the boot.
It's easier to get into first gear by going into second and then down into first. I do this every time and am used to it so hasn't worried me. It hasn't got any worse in the last 15,000 miles.
All that makes it sound worse than it really is.
In the last 3 years
Head gasket
2 outer cv joints
Rear engine/gear box mount
Cam belt
Oil breather pod
Fuel filter, cap and leads
Temperature sensor last month
2 wheel bearings
Back box yesterday
I've done the oil and filter every 5000 miles
Air filter
I have the missing piece of trim, but not the grommets to hold it in place.
I have a spare wing mirror for the drivers side and a spare load cover too.
I have roof bars for it as well
I changed the gear box oil this summer before I drove it to Germany.
There might be more to say, but I can't think of anything right now.
Any questions just ask, if you want any more photos, just ask
Looking for £550
I`ve driven this car fully loaded to Germany twice and Amsterdam once and wouldn^t hesitate driving it anywhere. It has been really good for the long journeys, but now diesel is so much cheaper in Europe I have replaced this with a boring French oil burner.
