My Passat has 370k km and is 20 years old, still on the original starter, and starts like a champ.
My dad has had the OE European (glass) headlights on his Mk4 Golf since 2002. They still look great all these years later, despite 300,000+ miles on them. The European beam pattern is so much better than the U.S. one, too.
I had them in my Mk4 Golf Tdi. E-Codes from Vw they were a lot brighter.
I'd bet the valve cover gasket could be failing and the coilpack/s are drowning in oil.
Located in AZ. I called multiple places and the average was around $1,500 for both water pump and timing belt (dealership was over $3,000 which is insane).
I got lucky as one shop was doing a special for timing belt changes and I got both serviced for $950.
My previous MK7 GTI used a quart about every 3K miles from the day it was new until I traded it at 212K.
2019 atlas (built 11/18) it had the water pump dine around 60k, nothing else engine wise, just rolled 95k.
I worked on a 2.5L 4 cylinder Passat not too long ago and the drain plug was a nightmare to get off, the oil filter needed a special socket- it was like a 32mm internal hex- I needed to borrow from a master tech
The only thing wrong with them are they are too soft, organic pads. Switch to a metallic pad.
Just got my windshield replaced again for the third time because the previous two had ripples in them, now I got an OEM VW windshield installed and they told me it’s normal to have some slight waves in the windshield. I thought OE or OEM would be better but it’s kinda the same as the other non OE windshields.
