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 sweat.gif .

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 ?
