I used purflux on my Passat
Reviews of spare parts for Volkswagen Passat
Went to Michelin Pilot Sport AS's and never looked back. My Passat has the same tires (only the never model, AS4's I think) and they provide excellent road holding (it has the VR6, the continentals were absolute trash at holding the power down).
2014 VW Passat 1.8TSI engine. 249k miles. Did the recommended oil change at every 10k until 125, then every 5 k. Transmission fluid change every 80k, looking back, will switch to 60k, just to be safe.
Halt nur die Klassiker, alle 15j mal eine Batterie tauschen oder die wasserpumpe.
You'll need to replace the starter motor to repair the car, they're about $120 on [rockauto for a remanufactured Bosch unit]
In the year I’ve had it, it’s cost me a new radiator that had split.
Mannol ist okay. Denke wenn man es regelmäßig wechselt, auch vor dem offiziellen Intervall, dann ist es nicht schlechter als Markenöl. Hab sogar damit besser Erfahrungen gemcaht als mit Liqui Moly, Castrol oder Shell helix.
Waterpump leaking at 120km Belt was like new.
Took great care of my Passat. Recommended oil change interval 10k; I changed every 6k. All oil and fluid changes at the dealership. I only did the filters, spark plugs and serpentine belt.
Problems -
Purge valve has to be replaced at 40k (warranty)
Control arms at 45k (warranty) + alignment
Fuel pump at 62k ($1600)
Entire cooling system replacement at 64k ($3100)
I believe hot weather and cheap plastic causing more harm to this car.
My ‘08 Passat Variant ... decided to die on me because of a faulty ECU… while driving. The car literally died in my hands. No power, no steering, no brakes, no electrics, no nothing.
