Just introducing myself and my lovely Passat.
Bought a 2016 Passat B8 GT (2.0 TDI 150 + 6 spd manual) last year, and done >30,000 miles in it now. She's sitting at 190,000 on the odometer, and hardly any issues over that time.
Coming from an 04 Mazda MX-5 it was quite a adjustment to go from a fun sporty car to a motorway cruiser, but I've been very happy with it and still love going out in it.
I'm quite a hands-on DIYer so have done the last couple services at home, and planning to do a front brake replacement soon. And I'm also armed and dangerous with a VCDS
Happy to give a hand to anyone around the East Yorkshire or North Lincolnshire region too!
