Comparing my old b5 1.8t to new b5.5 130 diesel running cost

I think the difference is only worth it if you buy a car that doesn't cost a fortune to keep on the road, which can be hit or miss with the Passat unfortunately. I've been ok so far.[/quote]

totally agree

My clutch is starting to shudder in 1st when cold

On a run it's 40-45 around town in traffic 35-40 Which is not much better than my old 1.8t If you driving it correctly I think you need to get it code checked.
