Vw Passat b5 1.9 tdi (90)that I have owned and used daily for the last year.
In the time I have owned it I have never broken down. I think this era of passat is the high point of VW quality.
GOOD POINTS.
Just 95,000 miles on the clock (this will rise as I am still driving it)
New Swan neck towbar fitted for towing my camping trailer, it has not towed anything heavy.
New shocks and 40mm lowering springs fitted just after I bought it, when I bought it there were cheap coilovers fitted which were leaking and generally horrible hence why I changed them.
Period sony face off fitted.
As you will notice there is a badgeless grille fitted but the original is included.
Rear wiper deleted, but again I have the motor and arm if you wanted to put it back on.
Nice clean tidy car in honest low mileage condition. It is not without marks but nothing really noticeable and it is not your typical 22 year old car.
The average fuel economy is showing 47mpg which is mostly my commuting.
MOT until January 2023. I fitted new drop links (both sides) a few weeks ago and 2 top and 1 bottom suspension arms on the passenger side.
Oil and filter changed Dec 21.
V5 registered to me at my address.
NOT SO GOOD POINTS.
It is not going to win any races.
The aircon works but could be colder. A regas would cure it.
Oil leak mentioned on the MOT. I get 1 drip when I park it which I can live with.
It will not win any glamour prizes with the current wheels, really needs some nice wheels to finish it off.
