Volkswagen Passat SE TDI 140 Auto 2007

3 star review

I bought the car which is a Passat SE TDI 140 Auto 2007 just over a year ago now with about 60,000 on the clock. It’s not been a bad car to drive until problems start to occur. It’s now in the garage having a new injector put in; driving on the motorway no warning whatsoever the engine cut out completely shutting down everything in the car. This certainly is not SAFE driving and costly at just over £800 to have the injector put in and am told this is a common problem with the new diesel engines. Not happy at all.

Volkswagen Passat 170 2007

4 star review

This car has been very good, but its also had lots of problems. It’s fast and handles well with the sport setup. The bearings went in the gearbox, needed a new brake servo unit, as I nearly crashed when the brakes failed. Three new EGR valves, new rear shocks, new hand brake switch, 2 glove boxes, ECU and a new injector. All this happened outside of warranty. Eats tyres (good job it’s a lease car). It eats the miles and it’s been driven on the motorways for hours. Verdict: good car to drive but could be expensive once it’s done 100,000+ miles.

Volkswagen Passat s tdi 140 DSG 2007

2 star review

This Passat is not what l was looking for at all. I say this because: DSG is very uncomfortable changing gears (it makes me look to others like I am a very bad driver); when slowing down it makes a big push - very, very uncomfortable. The engine I’ve got has only done 22k and is now in the garage. When the engine is cold I really have to rev it up to help the gear box to change and the engine to work. It has been very disappointing. The failure to accelerate is apparently something I am not alone with - it is a common problem for this particular type of car. My problem is that l want to be able to give it back or swap. Very upset; very, very, very.
