Do I have my 1.6td jx repaired or upgrade to 1Y or AAZ (Hens teeth). So many options but looking for some honest general advice without blowing my limited mechanical mind! I hear the jx is fine once set up properly? Number 3 pot burnt out apparently £1000 quoted
appreciate any sound advice guys

Quick search reveals a 1.9 AAZ Passat on fleabay and I didn't bother looking at the rest of the hits. Rocket ship miles mind... Although FWIW my old passat is on 150,000 and till going strong.

if you're struggling to find then why not get her out and have a go at fixing her?
