Welp, the 03 Wagon my son bought a few months ago finally died the other day. Said he was driving home and heard a POP and the car shut off. Got it towed home and sure enough, the timing belt broke. He has the 2.8 V6 so it's an interference motor, which means it's done for.
Now I have a 03 Passat Wagon that is a yard ornament. The body is in great shape, no leaks, everything works, but now needs a motor and has an output shaft bearing going out in the passenger's side of the trans.
Not sure if we should put a motor in it, or just find another cheap car. Problem is I don't have time to do a motor swap, nor do I have the money.
