It is a 1997 Volkswagen Passat TDi Wolfsburg Sedan. It has 198k miles on it and a 5 speed transmission (only transmission in this year) It has power windows, locks, cruise, tilt, A/C (works perfectly) , sunroof, Pioneer aftermarket CD w/ Bluetooth radio (still have factory cassette player if you want it)

I have decided to sell my Passat. I bought this car in 2010 as a temporary car to get me back and forth to work because I worked 50 miles away from home. I ended up loving my Passat and ended up keeping it, I just bought a 2013 Passat TDi and no longer need two diesels.

If you are unfamiliar with the VW TDi, it is a near bulletproof diesel engine known to go 500,000 to 750,000 miles with little effort.

I take excellent care of my cars and this one is no exception. It drives and shifts like a brand new car. I would estimate 90% of the fuel I have run has been BP which I think is the most premium fuel around here, and every tank has had stanadyne fuel additive added to it. Every oil change has been done at 5k miles with Rotella T6 and either a WIX or NAPA Gold filter. The interior is in very nice shape except for one stain on the carpet (orange soda). The exterior is also in very nice shape, clear is peeling over the right mirror and the right fender molding is missing.

A little overview of its recent service.

At 165k

Tires, Inner tie rods, right CV axle, and all 4 struts were replaced

At 189k

Timing belt and water pump was replaced (all parts from boraparts.com), Injection pump was rebuilt (for those of you in the TDi world Alex with VeeDUB auto repair rebuild it and preformed the hammer mod)

At 193k

Both front wheel bearings, both front ball joints, both outer tie rod ends, both strut bearing, and left CV axle were all replaced

The bad:

Car has a rebuilt title
Air Recirculator does not work
Small oil leak: I believe it is the rear main seal. I never had it fixed because it only leaks about 1 quart over 5k miles

Sunday Drive: Variety is the spice of life

Sun, Nov 12 2017

If there's any one new vehicle the entire world is anxiously waiting for, it's the Jeep Wrangler. Yes, of course the iconic off-roader has a loyal following here in America, but you could plop a Wrangler pretty much anywhere on the globe and everybody will know what it is. Put simply, the redesigned 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has big, muddy shoes to fill, and the readers of Autoblog are just as interested in the Wrangler's rebirth as anyone else. Moving along, we were fortunate enough last week to spend a bit of time in nearly every version of the venerable Volkswagen Golf all in one day. There isn't a Golf we don't like, but there's one, easily identifiable by its three-digit name, that stands above all the rest: GTI. We think it's the best Golf you can buy, even if there's an R-badged variant that slots above the GTI in VW hierarchy. Rounding out our recap are three vehicles that could hardly be more different. The 2019 GMC Sierra, which was seen wearing pretty light camouflage, is a truck. The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio – which isn't going to go on sale, ever, at any price – is a conceptual supercar. And the Honda CB1000R is a retro-themed naked standard motorcycle. Variety really is the spice of life. 2018 Jeep Wrangler spy shot mega gallery Driving nearly every VW Golf: Base, GTI, R, Alltrack — here's what we learned 2019 GMC Sierra spied sporting just a thin wrapping The Lamborghini Terzo Millennio is a brutally fantastic EV supercar concept Honda unveils 2 new motorcycles, including retro-flavored CB1000R Image Credit: Brian Williams GMC Honda Jeep Lamborghini Volkswagen Technology Truck Convertible Crossover Hatchback SUV Performance sunday drive vw golf gti lamborghini terzo millennio
