Passat Variant 2000: 130 HP Specs & Info

Hi there,

Well, it's happened to me now! I've fallen in love with one of those devices!
But before love turns into marriage, I would like to get some information from you.
- What known issues or defects are there?
- What should one pay attention to?
- possibly some experience with this type of device.
- anything else worth knowing?
- Timing belt replacement: after 90,000 km or 60,000 km?

Okay, here are some details:
mkb: AWX (which is also a 5-speed).
transmission: FHN

But don't worry: my 1Z care case B will remain with me. My father will continue to drive it. So the car will not be leaving the family property!

Jörg.

Idle vibrations...

Have a new timing belt and all the tensioner pulleys installed, and it will definitely last for 90,000 km.

My 'AWX' (see below) also has a 90,000-mile oil change interval.
