r/passat

I wanna see your mileage/kilometers, year and engine power ❤️ bragging allowed

Ich möchte einen Passat B5.5 1.9 tdi als limousine kaufen. Ich will ihn ca. 3 Jahre fahren. Ich hab gehört, dass die Autos bis zu 1.000.000km fahren, deswegen frage ich mich bis wieviel Km Laufleistung ich meinen kaufen soll. Budget liegt bei 3.000€

Hey, I have an r36 Passat with 297kms on the clock. It has severe stuttering when accelerating, multiple cylinder misfiring, flashing engine light, and it’s throwing error codes: P0011/P0016

What could be the cause?

Passat V 3.64 Mot - 2014.

Seit gestern läft die Heizung sofort an, wenn ich die Temperatur nicht auf das Minimum (LO) stelle.
Luft ist bei Einstellung auf 18 Grad sofort 40 Grad warm. Egal ob die Klimaanlage ein oder aus ist.

Nun friere oder schwitze ich :-(.

Werkstatt hat keine Idee. Hilfe!

Not sure what to put as the title. But I was just quoted $1,450 to replace the cooling fans in my 2020 Passat SE. I am not super savvy when it comes to auto repair (I could do an oil change, but not change brakes). Is this a repair that’s easy enough for someone with general knowledge to do themselves? I keep seeing that you have to remove the front bumper, but that doesn’t make sense to me. Has anyone recently replaced this on a 2020 Passat?

Passat B6 tailgate latch does not mechanically secure

I’m troubleshooting the tailgate latch on my Passat B6. The tailgate no longer stays latched.

I removed the latch and tested it with the electrical connector disconnected.

The main rotary catch can be rotated into what appears to be the fully locked position. There is a separate mechanical release lever with a visible return spring and two distinct positions. When I operate the release lever, the catch opens with essentially no force, which I assume is normal and is not the issue.

The actual problem is that when the release lever is NOT operated, the catch does not appear to be securely retained in the locked position. I can move the catch out of the locked position with very little force.

My understanding is that the latch should be mechanically fail-secure: with no electrical power and the release lever at rest, the locking pawl should firmly retain the rotary catch. Electrical actuation should only release it.

So my question is: What should mechanically retain the rotary catch in the locked position on a Passat B6 tailgate latch, and what component is likely worn, broken, or incorrectly positioned if it releases with minimal force even though the release lever is at rest?

I’m particularly interested in a photo/diagram of the correct internal arrangement of the pawl, catch and spring.

I have a 2013 passat TDI DSG, 180k miles, timingbelt/waterpump/trans flush done at 120k. regular oil changes with good tires and brakes. Turbo seal STB and is causing exxesive smoke after putting it in drive after about a minute. starts fine and idle's no problem. located in AZ and i already have a newer DD. cant decide whether to replace the turbo and keep or just sell as is. Would be a good candidate for somone who wants to do a delete and turbo upgrade i suppose.

Both are under 15k and have around 70k miles.

Option A is a 2018 Passat 2.0T SE, its already had the PCV, water pump and timing cover replaced. No fog lights and all halogen lighting, for $13k. Power leather seats, 4 speaker, that’s about it. 77k miles

Option B is a 2017 Passat 1.8T SE, this one has a ton more options than the 2018. Fog lights, chrome, led lighting, power folding mirrors, 8 speaker audio, larger wheels, random interior bits (footwell lights, power seats, etc etc). The only issue I’m having with this one is the timing cover nor water pump have ever been touched. The PCV has been replaced though. This one also has sketchy oil changes, 10k miles and there’s 2 oil cycles that went to 12k miles. This one’s listed for $12.7k at 70k miles

I’m obviously looking for something reliable but also the 2017 is tempting because it’s loaded, I do my own work to my current vehicle so if something were to dramatically fail I could always fix it if necessary (doesn’t mean I want to lol). Which is the better buy or should I keep looking? There’s a few jettas I’ve seen, though they are smaller.

I bought a 2014 Skoda Octavia new nct back in January,, 360k kms on it ,, got it serviced in March they said everything’s perfect then in July the dpf light came on paid 450 to get that cleared and everything changed got new nct in July then everything perfect .. mechanic suggested getting the timing done soon and then the oil light came on few days after nct he looked he said the injectors ect and needed to do timing belt ,,, today he said who ever did the 2021 timing belt did a dodgy job that it was out of sync by 7 teeth and the only way he could do the timing with out the car valve hitting piston and cutting car out was doing the same thing as previous mechanic or it would be a big big job and that I should get rid of it ??? Any in put please any machinics

Hi

Just bought a 2017 Passat 1.8t with 125k for my kid as a 1st car.

Its mint condition runs awesome and was looked after.

Starting to wonder if it was a bad choice repair wise.

What issues can I expect in the next 50k? Should I dump it for someone else?

So my epc light keeps coming on long drives usually when I accelerate, so I went and scanned the codes and it came back saying that all of my cylinders are knocking and the P032F00 code.

I really don’t know what could be causing it and dont know if I should take it to a shop or if there’s anything I could do, it’s a 2016 Passat 1.8t and im pretty scared about giving an arm and a leg to stop this minor problem from happening or turning into a major problem.

Edit. The other codes wereP233600, P233700, P233800 P223900,
