This a rare B4 variant Passat TDI wagon with a very low mileage of 128,544 miles. This is the third car for me and therefore, I am driving it less and less recently. I have owned this car since fall 2000 (bought at roughly 56,000 mile). I all have the maintenance records since then. The car has been chipped/overclocked ('rocketchip') to get optimal performance. It has a Dual XHD-6425 HD Radio / CD Receiver replaced in 2008. Also installed a UHAUL hitch for heavy hauling. The timing belt was changed at 56,000 miles and at 114,000 miles. Some sample repairs- Fixed right front tie rod with wheel realignment a few days ago- new VW Battery in 2016- replaced injection pump cover gasket- last synthetic oil change at 127,432- wheel alignment at 125,036 miles- two Michelin Performance tires (45000 mile warranty) at 124,932 miles- two BF Goodrich tires (60000 mile warranty) at 119,160- replaced two door handles from dealership at 123,830 miles- replaced meshed fuel transfer hose 123,830- repaired leaking fuel line at 123,784 miles- replaced fuel filter, fuel fitting, and power steering pump at 114,427 miles- replaced water pump, timing belt, timing belt tensioner, roller, crank shaft pulley, and intake air filter at 114,106- replaced driver side windows regulator 108,947 miles- replaced a/c compressor, receiver / dryer and expansion valve assembly at 107,747 miles- replaced worn clutch master and slave cylinders, accessory belt roller, drain and bleed clutch hydraulic system at 107,630 miles- replaced serpentine belt at 105,026 miles Some issues with the car:- the car does not heat- the paint is peeling - normal rust in the under carriage- the left CV outer joint will need to be replaced at some point The car is fun to drive. Take it for a test run. This diesel car obviously still has a lot of miles left in it with some TLC.
