What do you think about the Volkswagen Passat 1.9 TDI?

Can you give me as much information as possible in relation to a Volkswagen Passat Highline Monaco 1.9 TDI saloon?

Hi Roisin,

Well, it's a lovely car - smooth and comfy - and that old 1.9 TDI engine is very economical. Watch for problems with the injectors and the air pressure sensors, but otherwise it's a long-lived unit. 

The 2005-on Passat is a very complex vehicle though, with lots of trick electronics so make sure it has a full service history if you're interested in buying it.
