Looking for Passat TDI

Hi
I am interested to purchase 2005 Passat TDI.
Some peoples saying lots of problems with Injection - Heads - Oil Pump - Auto Transmission and Body Rust.
**********************************
Do those TDI have DSG transmissions?
How much cost to set up opening pressure on the injector and who can do in Mississauga?
DSG transmission is very easy to fix what I have seen on youtube?
Heads Cylinders cracks - can be replaced by heads from 1.9 TDI ?
Do Oil pumps get modification up to now and the best place to buy a new one?
Where in Ontario we can buy body parts for Passat TDI
Do we can buy those aftermarket Front Sports Bumpers call R line Duraflex very beautiful looks.
********************************************************
I spend over 20 years with Mercedes Diesels and now drive GLS350d
***************************************************
I am retired and need somthing to do.
Watching Europeans what are doing with the cars.
About 90% love VW TDI and 1.8T
1.9 TDI get the title of best diesel on the world
*************************************
How really is the 2 L TDI ?
Is friendly or as con artist hooker?

The biggest problem known with the BHW engine is the balance shafts. Everyone recommends that they should replaced ASAP. From there, the transmission can be a weak link when you get beyond a stage 2 tune with the car. You could always swap in a 01E transmission if you're planning on going after 200+hp.
Then you have the PD cam problems on top of those other two issues, where the lobes will wear down over time causing really poor performance from your engine.

Here are a few helpful links to check out.

I'm not sure if you plan on doing a manual swap/modify your car, but here are some helpful links on that.
