I just got back from a family holiday in Italy and we drove down through France to Limoges stayed with our friends and then drove along the Mediterranean coast to Northern Italy where we had a brilliant time.we then drove up through the mountains and up and through the St Barndadino tunnel and down into Switzerland by the time we got back to Yorkshire we had driven 2800 miles and my 14 year old B5 saloon with 166000 miles drove all of those miles willingly and without missing a beat averaging 52 mpg all the way. I really liked that car before but I must say I really love it now!
I just want to say thanks to the forum for all the help over the last two years in helping me to learn about the B5 and keeping it running sweetly.
I am looking for an estate to replace our written off passat and saw a good looking B5 avant top dollar but I think a tidy example. Now my saloon is the 115 pd engine and this potential new car has the same engine - I recall some posts and discussion about the fragility of the 115 pd engine - does the forum have views on this? (Hopefully Kev and Chris will)
