Volkswagen Passat - 1.8 non-turbo engine - dumbo

Hi,

About five years ago I had a Passat 1.8 as a courtesy car. I enjoyed driving it more than the 1.7 diesel Astra I was having attended to. The loan car was an R registration.

This forum has put me off modern diesels. So, if that 1.8 petrol engine is still around, I would consider keeping an eye out for a good used Passat, three to four years old.

Has anyone any advice to offer on that petrol engine and, indeed, any other aspects of a s/h Passat?
