mrs tts 1.9tdi octavia 68k 4 yrs old only had 3 services 1 mot goes like a train no issues..

I thinks its broadly the same engine as used in the Audi’s. I used to have an A4. Bought a 1.9Tdi that had done 115thou, still going well enough at 250thou. Prob would have made 300thou if it hadnt been killed with a gate post.

1998 Passat Tdi 178k on second clutch (155k when the original went, shop around i got it done for £750 all in) and just had new temp sensor (£9), new auxiliary belt (£18), and the only thing that will see her off is that the screen apertures on windscreen and boot are rotting along with roof rail mount points but then I blame Thule laden with bikes and exuberant driving style.

I had my Passat 2.0 TDI MOTed recently. The man said ‘yes, it passed – they always do!’

Went to see the car today and it was an absolute dog, a mark or dent on every panel.
All the wheels were marked and had four differwnt types of tyre on it too.

Needless to say we didn’t buy it.

Salesman couldn’t see why i didn’t like it.
