One of the last real VW - simple, durable, low-maintenance, solid, does not rust, comfortable, drives well, and there are many ways to increase power ...

The legendary 1.9 TDI. 500, 000 miles and it’ll still run.

It's pretty crazy that's a 1997 the design makes me think it's from 2002-2004 very impressive

2.0 TDI = Head cracks after 5 years and 150.000km
1.9TDI = Fires right up after more than 20 years, 300.000km with bad glow plugs in winter. One of the best engines ever made.

Nice car. Early 1996 model with green dashboard light. In 1997 they switched from green to blue light. Heated seats, climatronic, sports steering wheel. Some pretty nice features when this car was new.

I still drive that same royal-green -97 but with a non turbo 1.8 ADR engine. Bought it as my first car in -08 for 4K € and now it has 290, 000 on the dash. The pearl metallic color is just awesome, but the lacquer finish is peeling off badly from the engine hood. Basic maintenance has kept it running and never left me on the road. -28C weather, no preheat - no problems, starts on the first key turn every single time.

Except the casual services (brakes, timing belt etc) I have changed a broken AC-blower (100€), broken power-window regulator (50€) and an airbag crash-sensor (50€). Once the Airbag controlling module was so jammed I couldn´t reset the fault codes. Local dealer said its 700€ a new module plus labor costs about the same. The fix was to send it to a small shop where they re-wrote the program inside the module, for 150€. I need a bigger car soon, going to miss this one that´s sure.

A 1997 Trendline model with the green instrument lighting and analog clock. It has the rare factory navigation system. A full MFA display in the cluster + navigation controls in the center console under the radio. You can see it still has the original GPS antenna on the roof too.

VW Passat B5 and Audi A4 B5 are aging like good wine:
Great design and 1.9TDI/1.6/1.8T are indestructible engines!

The 1.9 Tdi VW engine reliable, 110 HP with rotary pump is a problem-free 800, 000 km engine

New rear boot, fix some rust, fix up the interior and you are done for a period. Later up you can give the engine a bit of love. Especially now getting close to christmas😉

[PauloRodrigues-ufhf]

We pay 150 only for one tire never for a car. It’s a good job.

In Ukraine it costs about with Ukr registration 5000$, with foreign registration its costs about 2000$ (mostly such cars are almost dead)
