My Mk4 Ibiza TDI Sport 130...

[CHR15B]

Well folks I paid the deposit on the new car tonight... went and had a look at the car and done all the usual checks to make sure it's all genuine then took it a drive. The car drives like a dream and has been very well looked after so it was really a no brainer.

The car? It's an 04 VW Passat 1.9 TDI SE 130 (With average miles and service history which is rare!) ... It's a very strange gold colour with a cream and black interior - has every toy you could need and more. Will make a big difference to my every day use for the next couple of years.

It isn't half... already ordering up a couple of bits n bobs for it - nothing major though.

So you bought it then mate, good man! When do you pick it up?

Any luck on my vagcom problem chris?

 

[Clone]

Didn't take long. Did you get it for a good price?

Hope it's a good substitute for the Ibiza!

 

[CHR15B]

I'll pick the new car up when the old one goes.

Sent a mail off to one of my friends about the VAG-COM problem mate, I'll give you a call when he gets back to me on what to try next.

Got a bargain on the Passat!

Nice one. Be sure to get pics up of the Passat.

Thanks mate!

Good to hear you got yourself a Passat mate - I remember you talking about it many moons ago when you done the steering on my Ibiza with the VAG-COM.

Whats happening with your plate - selling it on the Ibiza?

 

[CHR15B]

I've put the reg onto retention at the moment, going to keep it and put it onto another Seat when I get round to buying one ... Would love a MK2 Leon FR TDI but can't afford one at the moment... and the Exeo looks good too!

If anyone is interested, I met up with Chris and gave the new car a good clean and winter prep so I caught a couple of photos after.

Photos of the new car can be found here, http://public.fotki.com/CHR15B/vw-passat-19-tdi-se-130/

Looks good man. how you finding it compared to the ibiza?

 

[CHR15B]

It's like driving a couch!

Basically in a nutshell it's a much much better car than the Ibiza, unfortunately it does lot look the part and although it's still a PD130 it doesen't give the same "Wow" when you put the foot down.

The interesting part is, it's a year younger than what my Ibiza was and has less miles ... It's not my favourite colour but I won't complain considering I got it very cheap.

That might happen.

I done the first mod already which is HID's... I need to fit a set of new plates as the current ones are tatty then fit my Parrot kit and thats about it for now ... Gonna debadge it too.

so what you doing with your private plate?

 

[CHR15B]

That's on retention at the moment, and will be until I can afford to buy a new Leon or get a second car for my girlfriend. (Would be a MK4 Ibiza no doubt, she loved it.)
