2000 VW Passat TDI Car started off life as a V6 GLX model, but has been re-powered with an AHU engine from a Jetta TDI. According to the MFA, been getting an average of 49 MPG if I do all highway, and it pretty quick too! No check engine light Body has 135k miles AHU Engine has 190k miles, from 98 Jetta TDI- Has been refreshed with new lifters, engine seals, timing belt,water pump,etc. 5 Speed Manual transmission - TDI unit from Europe with proper gearing Performance mods- -VNT 17 turbo -PP520 Injectors -Straight 2.5" exhaust, no CAT to stock muffler Maintenance work done -Timing belt, water pump, etc. -Lifters -ALL engine seals, oil -Sachs Clutch kit, NEW solid mass flywheel -Fuel & Air filter -Gear oil -New radiator Options on the car that ALL work AC Cruise control MFA Black leather interior Heated power seats and mirrors Sunroof ABS B5 swap fact sheet: All about the “KMH Motors” B5 VW Passat / Audi A4 TDI The motor and all ancillaries were changed to TDI spec. In Europe, this exact combination of engine and body are commonplace, but of course, VWOA did not think that this car would sell well here. There are actually 3 original ’98 Passat TDI sedans that do exist in the US. The motor itself was a bolt-in affair expect for some custom made motor mount brackets and plumbing for coolant and boost hoses. Many parts that were needed to make this car came from either a Euro spec Audi A4 / Passat TDI, or an American B5.5 Passat TDI. Q: Will I have to wait 2 weeks for a European spec. part to come in if it breaks? Probably not. Nearly all of the wear items are either from a US spec: -98 Passat 1.8t -98 Jetta TDI -2004 Passat TDI Q: So why would I want this car more than a 2004-2005 Passat TDI? 1. NO balance shaft module to replace in the tune of $3000! For those that are unfamiliar with the BHW engine found in the B5.5 Passat TDI, they have a failure prone balance shaft module that smoothes the engine vibration at idle. The problem was that this gear that is integrated into the oil pump drive is driven by a chain that WILL inevitably wear out and break eventually, rendering your oil pump immediately useless. 2. Manual transmission! Well, do I really need to explain this one? Other than the obvious, you will get back into the range of 40-44 mpg over an auto transmission that will almost never see more than 38mpg. I have been observing about 42 mpg with mixed city and highway driving according to the stock MFA equipped on the car with winter fuel and warm-up conditions. 3. Rotary pump engine! In my opinion of a long time TDI owner and mechanic, the traditional rotary pump, 8 valve engine is the best and most reliable engine that VW ever made. It came in many different forms and years, but it is tried and true compared to the Pumpe Duse engine that followed it. The rotary pump engine can run high (100%) concentrations of biodiesel without problems unlike the Pumpe Duse engine due to the extremely high (400 deg.) operating temperature of the injectors. Also, the camshaft and lifter assembly is MUCH more durable than the problematic Pumpe Duse engine. The camshaft and lifter assembly usually requires replacement in the Pumpe Duse engine around 150k-200k miles or less possibly, costing approximately $1200 for parts and labor. Q: Why would I want this car more than an MK4 Jetta Wagon? 1. Space! The B5 actually has enough rear leg room for adults while an adult is seated in front of them. Parents (like myself) will also note it has enough room for a car seat either front or rear facing without cutting into front seat space. 2. Refinement! The B5 has better suspension, more sound deadening, and more standard comfort features than most MK4 Jetta / Golf. 3. The fuel tank capacity is also about 2 gallons larger than the Jetta wagon at an OEM claimed 16.4. (Though many TDI owners have learned how to get 1-2 more gallons in.)
