#8161 of 8249 Passat for sale-Beautiful Body for part-Does not run by frantime Jun 02, 2007 (4:41 pm)
I have a 1998 used Passat that I bought from a reputable dealership for my daughter when she started driving in 2003. It was maintained by me consistently. One day last, February 2006 it stopped running at a stop light as she was on her way to school. It needed a new engine part that would cost anywhere from $8,000-10,000 so I opted out on doing this. I would like to sell the car for the body which is in EXCELLENT condition. Replies to this message: shipo (Jun 02, 2007 7:19 pm)

Replying to: frantime (Jun 02, 2007 4:41 pm) Any idea why the engine quit? Did it get sludged?   FWIW, I suspect that you can take your car to a local European car specialist and have them rebuild your existing motor for somewhere between $2,000-$4,000. I just took a look at the individual parts that would be required for a rebuild and they really aren't all that expensive.   Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: sshrivastava (Jun 15, 2007 11:54 am) Try cross-posting here: Purchasing Used Vehicles. That's a discussion on our Smart Shopper board that isn't vehicle specific, but someone there may have some thoughts for you.   Good luck - let us know what happens.

Replying to: freespirit1 (Jun 19, 2007 7:55 am) I probably have a copy in my files at home. I'll see if I can find it and PDF it to you. You'll need to "drop your shields" and give an email address (use a throw-away, if you'd like). Wait until tomorrow to see if I can find it for you...

Replying to: freespirit1 (Jun 19, 2007 7:55 am) I found a pdf of the letter, the TSB, and the list of acceptable oils online at my local library's website. It won't link, but I have the PDF on my PC. Give me an address and I'll send it to you, or you can check your own public library for access. Replies to this message: freespirit1 (Jun 19, 2007 11:59 pm)
