If you dont have anything better to do than waste my time then go thread spoil somewhere else.

I bought a 2003 Passat Highline Leather 130bhp about 6 months ago. Very clean car and full service history. It cost me 10,000 euro. Took me 3 months to find and a hell of alot of cars test driven before I found a "clean" genuine one.

If you drop your 130bhp needs to 100bhp you might have an easier job. But 3000 euro.. it will get you the 130bhp engine but not the car

Is that engine the 130bhp?

tommygun999 · 10-04-2009 11:37am

I was offered a 2005 Passat Tdi company car for €5000, fair enough it had 90k miles on it. Of course I can get a 01 Passat for 3k, but my 3k budget is for a 2002. Im being total serious here lads, you may thing Im crazy but were heading into an economic depression. Another 4 years of this.

100brake passat and the tuning box off ebay for 60 quid makes a perfectly acceptable 130bhp!

Doubt it, I don't think the 130's came in basic spec. Open to correct on that.

And the fact that it's pink:eek:

You're dead right. Just don't expect to find a nice one anytime soon. It will take you a while. Bring a mechanic and check the boot sticker for actual engine power. You can remap the 100 to 130. Or you can remap the 130 to 160-170

A lot of the cars I seen where horrible starting from cold, loads of smoke. When driving they had lots of rattles and engine noises. Smoke from exhaust when accelerating. Loud noises coming from the turbo. Something wrong steering (bushing or bushes) according to my mechanic. Suspension was usually in a bad way. Steering was always out of alignment and once you go above 100kmph the steering its like a gigantic round vibrating dildo

Inside of the car was often in a bad way. Uneven wear on the tyres.

Actually alot of this is true for inspecting any car but I found a lot of these things on the Passat TDi's that I was looking at.

A lot of these things are only small things to fix, but they are just some of the signs that the car was driven harshly up and down back roads.

Do you know what the codes will be on the boot sticker for the 130 engine? Oh I'm sure there are plenty of farmers Passats lying around! Towing the odd 2 ton trailer

BlackWizard · 10-04-2009 11:59am

The sticker is inside the boot near the tyre well.

You will be looking for the power output in KW. So the 130bhp is 98KW. And the 100bhp is 76KW.

I was told by a guy a few weeks ago that it's possible to get this information from the engine/vehicle number. But I think you need to have access to a computer or certain website for that.

Sometimes that sticker is in bits and hard to read. So you might have to get a torch and get in close.

Edit: I never done this, but it might be a good idea to go to a dealership and test drive a mint condition Passat (same model and engine) maybe up a few years. Just to get a feel for how the car should perform.

Few lads on here know the codes, but what ever you do, don't go by the badge:P

tommygun999 · 10-04-2009 12:04pm

That sticker could easily be stuck on couldn't it? Not likely but possible. Is there no way by looking at the chassis plate in the engine bay without the need for a website?

BlackWizard · 10-04-2009 12:08pm

I'll go out and check now for ya. I never had a proper look at that.

is there not another plate on the top of boot ? where the light is?

tommygun999 · 10-04-2009 12:13pm

Found this on the net

Engine code AVB is 100bhp, codes AVF and AWX are 130bhp.

Also is the KW stated on the log-book?
