Sadly the steering rack has blown its seal, so now too expensive to repair....
The bad bits:
Steering rack
Passenger window mechanism needs replacing
ABS sensor on passenger side wheel hub needs replacing (just gone)
The usual rusty wing problem
The good bits:
Engine, (6 speed) gearbox, clutch etc. all good
Just had a brand new caliper on the front passenger side (hence the ABS sensor fault) and there are new brake pads in a box (the old ones didn't need replacing as they have thousands of miles left).
4 new(ish) tyres
Road America wheels, good condition
Sport cabin all good
6 CD interchanger all OK
All the rest of the car is fine.......
I don't have the time or patients to get it fixed, so will have to part with it.
It has been loved, its not a beaten up old banger, I've tried to keep it good and in standard condition.
"Yes you can have it for free", you just need to come and pick it up.
I live in South Wales, near Cardiff, so if you are interested give me a call on 07976 783876. First to call and is really going to collect can have it.
I want a Passat lover to have it, not a scrappy. It needs someone to love it again, it has been a brilliant car that I have had for 4 years.
