Hello fellow nairalanders.
A friend of mine was interested in a black 2006 VW Passat 2.0 TDI with manual transmission. Since i have little or no experience with this model of car, i decided to bring it to the public court.
1. How reliable is this car?
2. Are there specialists mechanic in Ibadan and Lagos axis on diesel engines of volkswagen cars?
****Nigerian user reviews are welcome.

Well.....if you can check my recent post on NL you will discover that i have post many Ads in the respect car power by diesel..

i dont know much about passat, But a junior colleague his driving Audi 2000 A3 1.9TDI..and he did the servicing all by himself..
Below is my rating for the car expect Spare part availability

Durability...The Audi is workhorse machine...Covered Mungo-maiduguri-Jos where the guy family base without going to kazeem
Millage ...The main reason why am going for with 50litres of diesel this young will go to jos and come back with quarter tank..I personal verified this!
Spare part sourcing...No idea, but i can help you to find out from him.
Speed....The speed is okay for me..150Km per hour not a bad idea..so,i respect the car..since then, have been hurting for this German monster

Kindly give me a link where your friend bought his own, am highly interested in this ride..though i prefer Audi, and in case is CUV and other...but, my budget is 700k

Post Edit
And ice code AC with little or No rattle noise...

Shalom
