Hi, a colleague of mine wants to sell his VW Passat CC & offered me quite interesting price. However, I am worried about several things since there has been issues with VW especially its DSG & TSI engine.

The car is year 2013, mileage around 50,000 kms. Got few years warranty left. Outlook is great, just like a new car. Owner claimed that the car is running good without any problem. It's a 1.8 TSI model with 7 speed DSG.

I read from many forums, some said only 1.4 TSI + DSG is problematic but not the 1.8 TSI with DSG. Some said the previous version of Passat CC with 2.0 is better than the 1.8TSI. Not sure how far this is true. any comments?

the problem is with the gearbox. check the type of dsg..6 speed or 7 speed.

If u scare dont buy it.. Im the owner of dsg dq200 7 speed dry clutch. Almost 2 years using it and currently mileage 47660.. Running nearly to 300nm torque so far so good..

Its a 7 speed type dsg. So is this the problematic one everyone is talking about?

Oh, is it identical model? I kinda fear of upcoming problems especially the gearbox. Currently its running smoothly. I heard vw malaysia already resolved the problem. Is there such thing?

Before u actually buy it , visit any VW and check out their current price . Passat is going for RM30k or RM40k off retail price last few weeks before CNY , a friend bought 1 . VW is trying to clear their old stock . Those are 2014 cars but new and cant sell .

Cc still rm180k.. Passat b7 can get around 125k otr.

Bro, what car u currently using? & what type of car u looking for?

Honestly, passat cc only good in terms of look. Gearbox will give u prob one day. If u like passat cc, buy the pre facelift. That one is 6 speed, less problem.

Recently, I ditched my golf tsi dsg & bought a mazda 3. One of the best decision ever.

sorry , typo ... pre-registered cc is what i meant

There is a lot of pre reg VW car at Ming Heng gombak.. Some with mileage some is 0.

Thanks, will check will local dealership to compare the price. VGM announced that all probs with DSG is resolved through the use of mineral oil & new mechatronics, is this a permanent fix to the infamous dsg problem?

Currently using Lr discovery 4. Bought it for the space & 4x4 capability. Now looking for a sporty sedan for a simpler ride.

I'm referring to VW msia , not used car dealers . . . They are new cars . Upon confirmation by buyers and deposit paid , they will register the car to the dealer eg goh brothers or whichever dealers u got it from . Then they will transfer it to u , as a demo car unit sold off . Some practice other car dealers like bmw are doing for a while .

If can..try avoid vw cars.although it is a good cars, but the possibility to be hit with dsg problem is really high..I suggest u get peugeot 508, or ford mondeo..both this car got turbo and price under rm100k..just search at mudah.my .2nd hand price really drop kaw2 because this 2 cars are not that cheap to maintain.but since u said ur current car is land rover, then it should be no problem to maintain this 2 cars..

I don't think Peugeot or Ford will give a more reliable ride than a VW, generally speaking. The Mondeo is quite uncommon so the fear is more of spare parts availability.

High five bro! Just did the same thing, ditch my golf tsi for Mazda 3

Ming Heng is same as VW MHV Autohaus gombak and setapak. Own by dato ming heng. If u cannot find pre reg at mhv autohaus, go to ming heng used car.

I bought pre reg jetta from mhv autohaus also..

mind sharing the price that you got for a pre reg jetta?

tried the car today. transmission feels good. driving feels a little bit laggy perhaps due to the 18" wheels? all gadgets & gizmos working perfectly tho.. still deciding whether to proceed or not

this one he is letting go slightly above 100k which is relatively cheaper compared to used & pre-owned market. even the discounted unregistered stocks r still selling at 180k-200k

if want ease of mind..please not this car. my dad just collected his car from sc..3 weeks they did nothing to address the engine check sign issue.

dsg a bit laggy on low speed. but seamless and quick on high speed.
