I drove a 2002 passat(1.9tdi) a few weeks ago, the gearbox was very loose and the electric windows didn't work, it had 180,000 miles on it and the engine sounded fine

The 1.9tdi was not officially imported to LOS so it must be a grey import.
I assume it is for sale here.

What sort of info do you want. ?
The EGR was suspect in my opinion but overall a very good car.

^^Nothing specific on the Passat but a friend in Phuket had an Audi TT from VW dealer in Bangkok. Parts and service big problem as they have only one dealership in Thailand. They may have added some VW dealers now but as of 2 years ago only one on Vivapadi Rangsit in Bangkok.

You gotta be brave to buy a Euro import here, Partic a grey market one. Some years ago I brought a Aust GM, ex embassy car.
Parts which are dirt cheap in Aust transormed themselves into pure gold when they crossed the Thai border.

The 1.9 engine came in two series, VE and PD
VE had a distributor type injection pump and came in two specs, 90 & 110 hp
You can tell the 110hp because the i in the tdi badge is red.
The PD version had unit injectors and gave more power (sorry cannot remember the figure)

Not bad at all, I've seen somewhere that there also is a 130hp 1.9TDI, could that be the other one you are talking about ??

It is a nice car.
If it is in good condition and reasonably priced then 'go for it'

If you need any parts then expect them to be expensive even when you import them yourself

Is the car near you ?
Is 2003 the year of manufacture or the year first registered in Thailand.?
Which country was it sourced from?
Engine & chassis #
Need a lot more info before we can find the spec

Dalts be realistic, I'm not having a shot at you but, 1.You couldn't sort out yr bike parts without help, when you needed them and 2. How many mechanics ( monkeys) around your way will be able to sort the car if (when) there is a problem.

Does the wife have PMS ?? You're in quite a moode I'm looking at what you get for your money, I need to buy a sedan in the near future, and how much car do you get for 600K ?? If you look at the Japs, the engine-room looks like it all have been throw in with a shovel, even on the new ones, the Euro cars is more complete IMO, ofcause the parts is more expensive, but the purchase price for the 2nd car is cheap, most of them was close or more than 2mill from new. I aint writing off the idea yet, you cant even get a Honda Jazz for 600K,
