B8 Passat Estate 190 & 240 Bitdi advice

Post by VWshortie »

Hi.

So I am looking to change to a B8 passat estate DSG. But not sure if to settle for the 190 or hold out for a 240 bitdi.

I tow a caravan so both are suitable for the weight. 4x4 is not essential.

Does the Passat in general have any common problems to look out for?

Does the 190 or the 240 have any reliability issues?

I am looking at 2016 models with under 35k and I am likely to keep it until about 100k.

Is servicing the usual 12 months (minor then major)? DSG oil and 4x4 oil every 40k? Cam belt and water pump every 4 years?

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
