Guys,
I'm going to look at a 2005 Passat tdi on wed...I've been around TDI's for a while now. Have a 03 Golf right now. Thought about getting a little bigger car for later on. Is there anything I need to know about the Passat's that are different than the Golfs? I've heard the automatic transmissions weren't much in the early 2000's. Did they have this fixed by 2005 or is it one of the bad ones? The car has about 80,000 miles on it so I'll definitly be getting a Timing belt replacement for it if I were to buy it. What else should be done around this mileage? I know my fuel mileage will be less than my Golf but I like the bigger car and think its probably a trade off. Thanks for the help guys.
