This 6th generation of Passat is one of the most successful. An excellent wagon that combines driving pleasure, comfort and roominess.
From 2005 to 2010, from €4,500
Marking real evolutions compared to its predecessors, this 6th generation of Passat, if it is no longer very young (2005), is one of the most successful of the line. It provides a very good driving pleasure combining impeccable ergonomics and controls that are both smooth and precise. Very balanced, his behavior inspires confidence (even more on the rare integral 4Motion versions) and allowscover the kilometers in perfect serenity, especially since comfort and soundproofing are up to par. Added to this is generous living space and a large trunk with 485 to 1,565 liters (and even 600 to 1,730 liters on the SW station wagon), as well as a finish and beautifully crafted materials. The most common motors, at this price, are the 1.4 TSi 122 ch et 2.0 FSi 150 ch essence ; l’excellent et sobre diesel 2.0 TDi 140 ch being a little more expensive or more kilometers.
Reliability 4/5
Most of the concerns concerned the 2.0 TDi before March 2008, the date of the adoption of the common rail.
- Engine 1.4 TSi: Rare timing chain issues that were most frequently recalled.
2.0 TDi: power losses (turbo, EGR valve, unit injectors, etc.); RPM runaway (turbo stud); rattles (rocker arms, balance shaft, etc.); oil cooler… - Gearbox : crackles (synchro ring); clutch chattering, to be replaced; jerks robotic box…
- Direction : column blocked.
