I bought this late B4 Passat saloon a few weeks ago before I got my B2. The plan was to put the 90BHP 1Z TDI engine in whatever car I got. After getting the B2, I now realise that I would be better off getting a B5 Passat instead of the B4 as the donor. So it's for sale.
After dragging it home I put a battery on it and off it went! I drove about 2 miles around the block and discovered the shocks were shocking! The steering's a bit wonky too but the engine pulls like a train! Gearbox works well in all gears and the brakes feel fine.
Anyway, not much of that matters really, it's the engine we're interested in. It would be the perfect engine donor for a bay/type25 conversion or even a 1.9 conversion into a T4.
The price is €350, no offers.
Once you have the engine extracted, the gearbox, shift mechanism, hydraulic clutch mechanism, pedal box etc are all sought after upgrade items for mk2 Golf owners and those parts could be sold off to make back about €200. The sunroof is an upgrade for Corrado owners, value about €50. The doors, bootlid, rear bumper are all in good shape, value about €20 each. Headlamps, rear lamps, value about €20 each too. Then weigh in the body minus the engine and box for about €80 scrap metal value. All that adds up to a virtually free engine, loom, ECU for you. Get Podsy to de-immobilise it and remap it and you've got a 100+ BHP diesel-sipping motor for your bus.
