First I would get the fault codes read to determine why its gone into limp mode.

In that case, it's worth fixing, and hanging onto.

Don't scrap it, the VW fans will go nuts for that model and the engine is only just nicely run in VW mileage wise. These can do starship mileages with the greatest of ease. I would repair and restore - its worth a bit if you do it properly. The Synchro T4 vans are like hens teeth and even when in lousy condition manage to sell for a lot, the Passat version is even more rare.

Errr, that's news to me. Passat Syncro B5/B5.5 aren't rare, or worth a lot. The T4 Syncro on the other hand commands a fair bit come sale time. The T4 Syncro is rare, not the Passat Syncro.
