1.8t 20v or not?

Post by nose »

Hi guys,what do you think to the above? I've just missed a cracker in Leicester (may be some one on here got it?)1 owner fvwsh-35,000 miles 03 reg Passat Sport in met blue.It was on a forecourt for £2995.00 I've been looking for a 1.9 tdi se 130 for some time now,and came across this by accident.I'm in the motor trade myself,and now that many people run a mile when you mention the AWT engine.Just wondered what you guys think and have come across,i know they get through valves (but is this down to the fact that the belt kit hasn't been changed?)i've heard they get through turbo's,i know they suffer with oil pump failure-although i'm lead to believe this is at higher milage.Your thoughts gentlmen (and ladies of course-sorry)

cheers,Paul.
