An indy dealer I know has an ink blue 2008 B6 Passat highline tdi estate coming in at the start of the week which I'm going to view. Other than that I don't know anything else about the car in terms of mileage etc.

I am aware that Passats of this era suffered handbrake problems and some of the diesel engines are less desirable than others. Does anyone know or have a link to a good buyers guide so I can at least have a little knowledge before I view it? Any major horror stories and so on?

Cheers in advance.

Edit to add: He mentioned it was a 130BHP, and error on his part? so I'm assuming its a 2.0 140

Update. The car is indeed a CR 140. Has quite high miles on it but comprehensive history and drives brilliantly.

I collect it on Monday.

The car is great so far. Comfortable and very fuel efficient. Not 'PH' in the slightest but sometimes something more mundane is needed for the daily slog.
