Mine has 210K miles on it and happily running veg for 100K of that. B5 AFN passat.
I question how/why the German family wagon has zero storage space inside of it. No door pockets in the rear, and a tiny glovebox.
My Astra had more storage space !!!
But when you need to take the front bumper off and need a cross point screw driver, a torx bit, an allen bit and a normal socket, you know it's going to be a total C-nut to work on it..
Else where you'll need a bitspline set and also I think a 12 pointed torx to get the driveshafts off, plus a few custom tools that can be made or the bolts "adapted".
It's purposely designed to be a twat to work on for the DIYer.
Owning one has swelled my tool collection considerably.
I'm looking for a reliable derv car for 2k, any ideas???
