1996 VW Passat TDI

(Turbocharged Direct Injection)
Currently 197k miles - will rise as car is driven regularly

I'm selling my BEAUTIFUL 1996 VW Passat TDI with 197k miles and almost perfect condition. It's White on the outside with dark cloth interior. The car has never been in an accident and is driven nearly every day. For the last 35K miles I've mainly used this as my highway commuter to various work related customer locations and to our summer home 100 miles away. She's always yielded around 40 - 42 mpg, highway, even higher. It is solid and tight. Diesel engine starts easily without fail, transmission shifts smooth and the fluid is clean, clutch feels good. Drive it anywhere.  Original paint, no rust at all, (Texas car) looks great, interior is clean, no cracks in the dash, seats and carpet are excellent.

Features:

·        Beautiful Original White Paint

·        Clean/lightweight alloy wheels

·        Power sunroof - Fully functional

·        Power Windows (All auto down and "ALL" work fine)

·        Power/Central Locking/Doors-trunk-gas

·        Power and heated mirrors (have spare drivers side mirror – saw it on e-bay and decided to by it)

·        Alarm

·        Cruise control

·        Tile wheel

·        A/C – Cold

·        Folding rear seats

·        New Kenwood stereo w/Bluetooth/USB, etc.  (Original radio comes with car)

·        Original floor mats!!

·        OEM Mud flaps all around 

·        Trailer Hitch for light trailer with light hook up

·        Lighted vanity visors 

·        Trunk rubber liner

I bought the car in early 2012 as the second owner down in Dallas, TX and drove her home to south east PA where I have taken excellent care of this car. I have many service records during my ownership.

Below is some of the more notable work done to the car in recent years, all major areas have been addressed on the car and she's ready to go for years to come!

Work done just prior to my ownership at 162K

·        New rear struts
·   Recent A/C Compressor
·       New cabin filter
·        New valve cover gasket
·        New oil pan gasket
·        New wiper blades
·        Rear wheel bearings tightened (did not need replacement)
·        New thermostat
·        New oil pressure sending unit

ENGINE:

• 197k+ miles, 1.9L Inline 4 TurboDiesel engine
• Just had timing checked and adjusted
• Oil and filter changes “EVERY 5K Miles” with Synthetic VW 501 spec oil
• ONLY UPGRADE – Bosio Nozzles - Sprint 520 SP520 TDI Injector Nozzle – Truly Unbelievable – These added so much power…if you need it…I don’t drive the car hard, just once in a while as this is recommended.  But the torque added with this upgrade is the best.  I still have the original injectors.

• The cloth interior is in great shape, all seats and seat backs front and back.
• I added black seat covers (see pics) just to protect the seats, plus to me, look better with the white paint.  I had intended to do the backs as well but just did not get around to it.
• Headline is almost flawless.  There are just a couple bubbles on the sunroof slider
• All windows work fine.
• All power locks work fine
• Carpet is excellent
• And to my knowledge, Original Passat Floor Mats!!...still in decent shape.  (I always drive in socks on long drives for comfort and to protect the floor mats)

EXTERIOR:

• The white exterior is in great shape for the age of the car. It shines bright, but like many cars this old and driven, it's not perfect….but close to it.
• There are no real dings to point out and none that would come close to showing in pictures.
• Rear spoiler – Yes, I added this as well.  It really makes the car come alive and look somewhat modern and sporty.

GREASE CAR CONVERSION:

• My Passat is fitted with a greasecar.com WVO system.  It works flawlessly.  I am a geek engineer with a master chef for a brother in law…..hence this conversion made sense and is lots of fun.
• The system is professionally installed and has never failed.  It is a 2 tank system which I highly recommend.
• NOTE:  If the purchaser desires to keep the grease car system, it will cost $750.  These systems cost $1295 plus installation.
• I will give the buyer who wants the system 10 gallons of clean WVO and all my tips for a simple filtration system that I build.
• It’s a simple process to remove the system and no residual affects whatsoever.  I will show this to the purchaser.

THE NORMAL:

·        The car does smoke during wake up.  This is for just a few seconds.  They “all” do this for the most part.  As mentioned above, the timing was just fine toned.  No issues were found with the engine.

The BAD:

·        Sorry, but there is no BAD.

IF I WERE TO KEEP CAR:

·        As mentioned above, I’d add the back seat black seat covers.

WHY SELLING?

·        I actually have a neighbor who works for Mercedes and I’d like to try an older (as I get older) automatic Mercedes Diesel and run on WVO.  So if the person does not want the Greasecar system in my Passat, I’d be happy with that.

EXTRAS

• Extra Engine Parts (with buy it now) - Starter with new brush kit, mechanical injector, AC compressor, and much more...
