As per topic, I am trying to find out from owners of any passat 1.8tsi ( be it CC or normal passat with 7speed DSG ). Kindly leave the feedback like below

Model : 1.8Tsi passat/cc
Mileage : xx km
Issues so far : etc, mechatronic changed at xx Km
Remark : Recommended? Not recommended? Reason

Strictly no bashing please, found out the discount is really great nowadays, kind of tempted to get this car .

Model: 2012 Passat 1.8TSi Sport (CBU germany)

Mileage: 47k KM

Issues:
1. Rattling sound from the 3rd brake light - SOLVED
2. Clock Spring mechanism faulty, steering got ticking sound - got conned by SC, they say theres nothing wrong with it, went to another SC and it say the mechanism faulty and not under insurance warranty (after the first 2 years)
3. DSG jerking - SC refuse to change clutch pack, saying nothing is wrong with it..

Aside from the DSG jerking issue. There is nothing wrong with the car, 2nd most powerful acceleration for a D segment sedan (fastest being mondeo ecoboost)..

Everything else just works...fine.. Great highway cruiser.. 215-220km/h still stable like a rock.

So far how's the gearbox ? Still rattling I assume ?

Consumers need to be aware of the car condition before sending it to the SC. If you guys got any friend of foreman or they got few knowledge about the car, check with them. At least, by doing this, you guys will likely avoid unwanted things to happen like misunderstanding with the SC especially.

jsut came back from VW roadshow lah

the main issue with VW now is the service centers (glenmarie is crap)

We need to list down all the crap SC and post it in all forum, tell the people. Let em know and they might change it to better afterwards (hopefully).

Passat promotion from hicom cheras is good. Pre owned for 4 days.. Mileage 900, they sell it at rm139k..

Wow that's very good price, Melaka can only offer 20k off for Pre-Reg 2014 ( Mileage 39km )

err... usually how to check if it bangs/gets banged before...?

And, ...?? Care to share what was discovered?

bro, long time no c

a friend of mine commented far superior pick-up as compared to Camry and Jetta

Camry is definitely out of the question. But Jetta? Similar mid 8s for century sprint.

Takes experience and sharp eyes for details.

Ofcourse, no other D segment car in its class can shift as fast as the Passat

I am well aware of that, most of the cars i have tested before , am currently using ford focus tdci so cars with weak pickup is out of the equation

Dad get his first CKD batches with huge discount, 3 months ago
Run very less, just rack in 5k km IINM.

Boot light do not lit up first day onwards.
Rattling at passenger seatbelt housing.

Jerk wise, not really.

Mind to share the price?

less than 140k

Is that Pre-Reg or brand new?
