What engine is that? AHU? otherwise truly a nice car! GLWS

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

From the photos it appears to be a 1Z or AHU. It would be interesting to know what the donor car was, Passat or Jetta.

Where is the car at? Im pretty interested.

 

[mogly]

Good questions. Donor was a B4 Passat sedan.

The car is located near Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. N0N 1C0. I am 10 miles from Port Huron MI 48060.

The car was sold new in the state of California. It still retains the MPH speedo.

I can assist the buyer with shipping but any costs associated are strictly the buyers.

I see the car itself has 61k, do you happen to know what mileage the motor has? This is a nice car and I'm not too far from Sarnia.....

 

[mogly]

Yes, the car itself has 61K. The powertrain has ~250-275K. I still have the original car's cluster which will go with the car. We retained the GLX cluster for the MFA features. At the time of the swap, the compression was checked on all four cylinders. The measurements were all around 500psi. This engine starts easily without glow plugging it. It's a strong healthy engine.

If someone were given a B4V for free and took it to their favourite VW Indy shop and had all of the work performed that this car has had, I'd wager they'd be awfully close to the asking price.

There is a very big OBO attached to the end of the asking price. It's a lot of car for the $ but I'm very car "heavy" at the moment and i'd rather "pass the torch" on this one.

When / how many miles back was the timing / coolant service done?

TB and coolant system service <1K miles.

So, in FL I could put antique plates on it. I'd need to go to the flea market to get with the guy who'd have 1996 FL tag to throw on. Pretty cool.

Would the HexNet Ross-Tech cable be the appropriate one to use (, is what I've got). Don't know much about b4 cars. Except they must be Even simpler.

So, swap was a couple years ago? Really, if it's less than than say 5 years doesn't matter much. Good deal for the right buyer - rescue it from the salt / winters, and run it till they don't sell diesel anymore.

Glws, bump

Technically here you could get antique/historic plates for it. YOu could also insure through Hagerty.

Yes, this is OBD2 so RossTech VagCom cables work , no issue.

It's a great car. For the right person this could be 10+ year with the proper care.
