Passat SE 1.9 TDi Estate for sale – £500
This is being sold as spares or repair, please read below for all details and look at the pictures for bodywork issues etc.
We have had this Passat SE 1.9 TDi Estate for a few years and it has been a reliable workhorse, and we have used it for numerous trips all over the length and breadth of the UK, making the most of its excellent 50+mpg. It will never win any show and shine competitions, as it has a fair few battle scars that it has picked-up along the way prior to us originally buying it.
It had 3 previous owners prior to us purchasing it, and it came with a fairly extensive history file from new, including the original VW stamped history
Since we have owned it, we have replaced both front and rear discs and pads, as well as replacing both front outer CV joints (02/2011), I also had the cam belt, tensioners and water pump replaced (02/2011), and replaced both upper front suspension arms as well as both front track rod ball joints (01/2012)
MOT 09/11/2013, tax till end of July 2013 (now SORN'd)
Unfortunately about 7 or 8 months ago, the turbo stopped working on the car, and after speaking with a local mechanic, he thought it could just be a case of the turbo 'sticking', but not being a mechanic myself, it was an 'uneconomic repair' at the time. The car continued to work fine, albeit being a bit gutless on hills, but still giving great 50+mpg!
We continued to use the estate in its non-working turbo state for the last 7 or 8 months, but one morning last week, the Passat starter turned over, but failed to start for the first time ever in our ownership? I have recharged the battery etc. but we still cannot get the Passat to start, although it has no issues turning over, the engine just does not catch?
As I'm not a mechanic, I have no idea what the issue might be, it could be something simple, but I do not have access to any diagnostic equipment to plug in and see if any issues are highlighted. However I have finally decided to get another car to replace the Passat now, hence it is now up for sale as spares or repair.
Current mileage is 216,821
The Passat still has just over half a tank of diesel in it, but currently as it is not starting, it will need to be trailered away. I can give you a number of a reliable person that can do this if required.
The interior is the dark grey/black velour finish and is in reasonable condition with no rips or tears. I will be removing my Alpine head unit and subwoofer, but the excellent in car component speaker system will be left in place, so just hook up a head unit and you will enjoy a great sound in the car!
Fronts seats and dash
Rear seats with all three rear seat belts
The rear boot still has the original load cover (very useful) and has a massive load carry capacity! One of the hydraulic support struts on the rear door has lost pressure so that the rear door is not self supporting when opened.
Cracked outer casing of drivers side rear light unit
Passenger side rear panel dented
Stone chips and paint peel on the front bumper and bonnet
Drivers side mirror with cracks, but still usable
Drivers side vent with missing/broken directional fins
