The story goes: Got the car about 3 months ago in pretty good shape just to cart around my xc bike (and look like a bigtime player, obviously). A couple of months down the line the clutch master cylinder went which although was a bit annoying, was not that big a deal. It drove fine after that with the clutch feeling far more solid and responsive, but sadly that was short lived as i believe the clutch slave cylinder has now seized so the clutch is constantly dis-engaged. I've tried with all my strength to get this out ready for inspection and replacement, but i just cant budge it Another car has come along that i'm very interested in so i'm just going to bite the bullet and get rid of the passat for somebody else to break/fix up. A new slave cylinder is about 25 quid from gsf so not a big deal really.
The car is pretty straight bodywork wise with the usual bits of rust and a couple of dings. I've also started to smooth the boot but unfortunatly ran out of money to complete this so its half done in primer and has started to rust a bit (v easy to get off) The interior is generally ok for a car of that age, i've taken the trim out of the boot though as it looks far less tatty without it as some of the trim was cracked, i still have all of that spare so it will be included, also the rear light has a broken lens which will need replacing. Engine wise its only got 66k on it so when i had it it was very smooth, had lots of pull, and for the engine size wasn't that bad on fuel. It used next no no oil either (i put about 2 k on it) It comes with the standard alloys too, no stereo, missing ariel.Its also had a new battery recently. I'll get some good pics up tomorrow, just giving you guys a heads up, something to maybe think about I'll be after about £200 quid just to get rid of it quickly, (still with 4 months tax and 4 months mot!!!!) I'd be happy to see this thing back on the road again as it was great fun to drive and is a real rare car. Pics tomorrow people.
