I'm looking at the elusive '05 Passat Wagon TDI, trying to decide if I want to trade the headache of my Golf (growing kids, 2 large dogs, 12 year old plastic bits that keep breaking) for the headache of the laundry list of time-bombs on a 100 to 140k mile Passat Wagon, and 7 year old plastic bits to break.
Is it possible to know if the BSM has been repaired without documentation? I see the occasional Wagon with no history, which I'm about 98% unwilling to consider at all, but if I can get one cheap enough I might just have my mechanic proactively fix the main failure points in advance. I just need to know what to plan for, and the BSM is the only part I don't yet know how to diagnose.
