B6 or B7

Post by Crapbag »

Hi all,

This is my first post (I'm sorry if there is an intro page but I couldn't see one) The main reason I joined this site (and what looks like a good place to be for info on Passats might I add) is because I'm imminently to buy a Passat. But my quandary is this.

Do I buy a lower milage 59/10 b6 highline OR a slightly higher milage 60/11 b7 in SE/S trim

I'm looking at either 2.0tdi or the 1.6tdi I do a round trip of 80 miles per day on mixed road route.

One thing that does have mixed results when asking dealers and searching online is what is the service schedule for the timing belts on these engines. I've been told 150k/5yrs, 140k/4yrs and 140k no age limit. So any clarification on this would be welcomed.

Thanks in advance,

Craig.
