Re: Stop/Start Restart Triggers
My 2018 passat 150bhp diesel manual doesn't do as you describe, however the engine will start when the status of something changes for instance if I turn the steering wheel. Also if the heating is on the car will start when stationery, presumably something to do with battery drain. There were no sof...

Pirelli on mine now, much more grip than the Bridgestone's I had previously, quieter and smoother too.

I've found VW terrible too when it comes to warranty claims, they will do anything and say anything to avoid paying out.

Re: little issues bugging me
Good luck with the problems buddy, that sounds shockingly expensive.
I guess if the oil was low from new it could have caused premaure wear and who knows what damage has occurred.

Re: Motorway Fuel Consumption
2018 Passat 150 Diesel R-line, I get around 52mpg maybe a bit more on longer runs but short journeys see the consumption dip to the mid 40s.
The dash display is wildly optimistic.

Re: Just ordered my 1.4 150 SE Business DSG Estate
They have a layer of sticky stretchy rubber on the inside which prevents/reduces loss of pressure if the tyre is penetrated - you may notice a small loss but that's all.
You can carry on driving but I'm not sure how long for and at what speed.
All good so far....but they can't be repaired

Around 650 miles from a brimmed tank, however I’ve noticed the consumption has gone up quite a bit now the weather is colder - why is this?

Re: Just ordered my 1.4 150 SE Business DSG Estate
Don’t go for the protection.
You can buy the products for a tenth of that price so even ‘discounted’ it’s not a good deal as they won’t spend the time that is necessary

Very Juddery Rear Wiper on New Passat
Hi All, I got my new Passat estate early May and within a few weeks I noticed the rear wiper would occasionally judder like mad....move smoothly for an inch then drag, move another inch then drag again, and so on. It's bizarre as when it works OK it's fine and the juddering is only once in a blue mo...
