Re: Reliability

Thanks for the reply, Well I would be aiming for 2.0tdi won't be looking to buy till June-ish but I know the balancer shaft and key issue were fixed by 2008-9 but wasn't sure about the epb and steering lock issues. One the g I have realised is hardly any b7 seem to have come with leather?

Reliability

Hi looking into getting either a b7 passat or a b8 a4 and my question is, had the issues with the 2.0 tdi been sorted by then as I had a b6 and suffered most of the common issues and as much as love the vag offerings I am not prepared to be caught in a money pit

Re: Woe is me...

deffo oil pick up e pipe blockage the pipe in question is easy job to replace,
it has a very fine metal gauze filter on it witch blocks up and causes low oil pressure
a very common prob on the 1.8t engines have a search on uk-mkivs for how too's etc
