I am new to the forum and making a choice on a TDI.
I am looking at a B4 with 168K that has been treated right (according to the records) and has alot of new parts incl timing belt, all filters ect...
The B5 I am about to go test drive has 118K some new parts but not the BSM/camshaft thing i keep reading about and not the timing belt.
The price for either car is the same although I will have to travel to get the B4
I keep reading about both modules needing alot of work on them in general.
Is there one which is lower maintenence? Or is it just a matter of opinion/taste??? I am also looking at Jetta's from both periods.
Thanks
