VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT B6 Owners Reviews

Volkswagen Passat. B6, 2005

The car was purchased from the official dealer, I no longer remember prices, and it changed everything for a long time, it was before the default. In the accidents were not, scratched, of course, in a circle tipped. But there were two very unpleasant moments during operation. In 25 degree frost, it was necessary to carry a daughter to school, about 6 km, started Volkswagen Passat B6 and was surprised - the tachometer turnover did not work for warming up and the engine worked as in the summer, about 700 revolutions, planted the daughter and only tried the smell of the burner wiring in the cabin, I decided not to join and bring the daughter to school. Faised. Then did not jerk and arrived at home immediately to the parking lot. I realized that the starter "end". Muck and caused the tow truck, went over how much I gave - I also don't remember the breakdown, all the plans were walking, walking on a child, the service was told that the relay was poured, native spare parts on Volkswagen Passat B6 also not cheap, to order, model New was. There was no year in operation, the dealers refused to change the warranty, such as Moscow frosts and any such. In the second year of operation, Volkswagen Passat B6 root in front of the engine, in the location of the generator. I went to the diagnosis, "sentenced" the compressor of the air conditioner, opened it, the whole cavity in the sinks, again, was not an insured event, I didn't have the meaning without Freon, it didn't make sense with them, I took a contract compressor and decided to sell the car, too " raw ", in my opinion. And so, in general, lovers of "Germans", appearance Volkswagen Passat B6, I like. The chassis "Hardening", our roads do not "swallow", the clearance is low, pierced several times firmly, especially on the Tula highway. The salon is decent sewn good, the assembly is also good, according to the controllability, there are also few complaints, instruments readable, only the red light on the eyes acts. Safety at height - a bunch of pillows, curtains. Music is good, but only SD, a car on an amateur.

Dignity : Beautiful. Large salon. Good handling.

disadvantages : Low clearance. Dear spare parts. Settings running for Bavarian roads.

Volkswagen Passat B6, 2008

Owned Volkswagen Passat B6 2FSI 6ACP, not DSG, 5 years. Mileage 133 thousand km. What can I say - dynamics, handling, turning angle when turning, swivel xenon. Very necessary function "Autochold", do not keep the leg on the brake when stopping, for example, to the mountain on the traffic light. The quality of the finishes of materials in the Volkswagen Passat B6 at the best level, the "Japanese" clearly lose, traveled at all, for exceptions. I believe that Passat for his money is the best in its class. But not everything is so good as it seems. In severe frosts (-25), the "Passat" refused to start. What I just did not do. I had to put in a brick garage, the problem was gone, but for this car is a big minus. 2-2.5 years of ownership did not break anything, only planned. The salon is really big, the trunk is huge, in the front panel, from time to time were "crickets", especially in winter. Next, there was some whistle under the hood, there is no on the cold, it turned out, the membrane on the valve lid, separately, not only assembled. Ksenon blocked on the right spotlight. To change, you need to remove the headlight. Engine and Box at Volkswagen Passat B6 worked perfectly, by chapters changed all silent blocks of all levers, all shorts, front traction stabilizer, rear hub bear Only assembled, I buy a German spare parts, but not the original. Now picks up the belt, as if I am not fastened, you have to not fasten, because the picking does not disappear. Put up for sale and sold (cheaper). On a good track, Volkswagen Passat B6 to 215 km / h accelerates Volkswagen Passat B6 I think this is not the limit. The road keeps perfectly, the brakes are just an ideal, it is not necessary to accelerate the brakes on the tiptronic, only to switch is not necessary, he switches when it is necessary. Check how in frosts start, or buy 1.8 turbo, there are no problems with this, but but the oil eats, unlike the 2-liter.

Dignity : High-tech. Controllability. Dynamics.

disadvantages : Raw engine - not for our frosts. Weak automatic transmission.

Volkswagen Passat B6, 2006

The previous car was " Ford Mondeo."2000, 2.5 V6 170 hp MCP, drove about 80 thousand on it and sold 22,000,000 km with mileage. I decided to upgrade, took volkswagen Passat Passat B6, I really liked outwardly, in Minsk, then there were not so many of them, or rather a lot, but not the way now. Something I do not care about the diesel engine, and the "gasoline" under the available amount was only atmospheric from Europe with twisted runs. The car immediately liked when I sat down, I felt that mine, everything is comfortable, everything is at hand, everything is as needed, it goes quickly, the flow rate is saved - 7 liters on the highway. If more than 100 do not go, and 11-12l in the city, in the winter in the city on the liter-one and a half more. The car handling machine is ideal, the steering wheel is very sharp and informative, the road holds the Volkswagen Passat B6 well, on the highway 160 km / h you can go without tightening, with overtakes there are no problems, the machine is very fast, immediately discharges the transmission, if the traction is missing another, overtaking for pleasure. After the mechanics, it could not get used to the machine for a long time, still it is not perfect, the switching is felt and the sharpness of the transfer of the speaker is smelled. In short, for more than two years it is not used to the next machine I will take a fundamentally "handle", and it's boring on the machine - there are not so many plugs in Minsk, therefore the automatic is not so relevant. The noise insulation of the salon is decent, but Ideal will not call, at the level of the same "Mondeo", the suspension is the same, rather rigid and a little ratty, "disease" - a rattling steering Reika, twice changed the thrust of the stabilizer and the boot of an external shrus, did not break anything in the car, changed only "consumables."

Dignity : nice car. Good review. Convenient landing. A sufficiently comfortable ride on long distances, the back does not get tired.

disadvantages : a lot of crickets and squeaks in the cabin. Hard suspension coupled with a rattling steering rack.

Roman, Minsk

AG. The view is a simple sedan, however, from the stream of others vehicle It is distinguished by complex front headlights, a rapid profile with a lowering roof, massive heavy feed and LED optics.

A lot about appearance can not be reasoned - just look at the pictures. But the rest of the advantages this carwhich he has a lot, deserve attention.

Characteristics

Volkswagen Passat B6 was offered to Russian buyers with five gasoline engines. The line looked as follows:

• 1.4-liter turbo engine, 122 liters. from. Acceleration - up to 100 km / h in 10.5 seconds. Maximum speed - 203 km / h.
• 1.8-liter "Chettime" with turbocharging, 152 liters. from. Overclocking - 8.6 seconds. Maximum - 220 km / h.
• 2-liter turbocharged motor, 200 liters. from. Overclocking - 7.6 seconds. Maximum - 235 km / h.
• 1.6-liter "Atmospheric", 102 liters. from. Overclocking - 12.4 seconds. Maximum - 190 km / h.
• 2-liter "Atmospheric", 150 hp Overclocking - 9.9 seconds. Maximum - 209 km / h.

In addition to the above options, the "Passat B6" with "Diesel" was offered. It was a 2-liter turbocharged motor 140 liters. from. With such an aggregate, the car accelerated to "hundreds" for 9.8 seconds, and its high-speed limit was 209 km / h.

The engines were offered with "mechanics" (5 or 6 speeds), as well as with a 6-speed "Tiptronic machine". In addition, there were options with a 7-range "robot" DSG having a double grip.

By default, the machine was a front-wheel drive, however, in optional access was 4Motion technology.

Execution options

There are two versions of the model "Passat B6" - wagon and sedan. The first thing they differ is dimensions. They are following (indicated in millimeters):

• Length - 4 774 and 4,765, respectively.
• Height - 1 518 and 1 472.
• Width - 1 820 in both versions.
• Wheel base is the same - 2 709 mm.
• Clearance - 17 centimeters like a wagon and sedan.

If you judge the numbers, the dimensions of the "Passat B6" in different body versions differ slightly. But you need to immediately pay attention to the trunk! The highlight of the universal is a huge cargo "TRUM", the volume of which is 603 liters. And it can be increased to 1,731 liters, if you fold the back of the rear row. It turns out a perfectly smooth area for bulky cargo.

Comfortability and ergonomics

People leaving about "Passat B6" reviews, in detail they tell about what is in this car. That's what they sharpen attention:

• Car warm. In the frosty winter, standing around the night on the street or in the garage, heating slowly, but confidently. Heated seats quality. In the summer, air conditioner freezes perfectly, and at the same time its work is not heard. Outside, the inclusion is also silent, and it is not displayed at the engine. Cooling the car for a long time.
• By blowing the legs for the rear passengers powerful.
• The front seats and the helm have a large range. You can at least "lie", as in some sports car, or head into the ceiling. The trunk is easily folded into the smooth floor, due to which an area of \u200b\u200b0.9 x 1.85 m is created. You can organize a good bed.
• In the doorway there are comfortable big pockets, where many small things fit. And niche under the umbrella is also there.
• Bardechum volumetric. Moreover, there is one more - secret.
• The dashboard has an interesting backlight. Not flexible, at night even you have to subscribe brightness.
• The electronic handler, when pressed on the gas pedal, removed himself.
• Setup menu B. on board computer Contains a considerable number of items, but you can quickly figure out what is there.

And finally, Volkswagen Passat B6 is the owner of just a pleasant and laconic interior. Salon is made of high quality plastic, genuine leather (in basic configuration - Fabric) and real aluminum.

About version with 1.8-liter "atmospheric"

"Passat B6 1.8" is one of the most popular versions. People who own this car say that it goes very cheerfully, even if compared with machines, under the hoods of which 3.5-liter units are installed.

It is possible to characterize the timer of driving like this: she is confident, calm, but (paradox!) Takes the dynamics to a more active style. The car collected, with excellent control, obedient, comfortable and soft. But if you should heal the gas pedal on a straight line, it will be possible to compare it with a locomotive. Or with some sports car. There is no digging, even in winter.

On the dynamics, by the way, it has a unlabral effect of a nimble DSG-7 box. As they say in their reviews, the owners of "B6", the automatic transmission "Passat" seemed to be attended by its asking work, causing a desire to apply.

Also celebrate motorists and "love" of this car to the oil. Consumption is approximately 1 liter of 7,000 km. It is recommended to pour Valvoline 5W-30.

KPP

The features of the transmission also need to mention, telling about the characteristics of the "Passat B6". It's natural to go about dSG box - Tiptronic with six speeds. Translations are very short:

• The first is 0-15 km / h.
• The second is 15-30 km / h.
• Third - 30-50 km / h.
• Fourth - 50-65 km / h.
• Fifth - 65-80 km / h.
• Sixth - after 80 km / h.

To work DSG, almost no one has complaints. Tittronic switches the transfer quickly and unnoticed, saving fuel, and even without loss of speakers.

But there is still a lack. This is a rollback. If you get up on the "Passat" with a DSG somewhere in a traffic jam on a hill, then it is not a fact that it will be possible to immediately go, moving the foot from the brake pedal to gas. For a while it goes to make an effort from the engine to drive. This is just a moment, but it still needs to be used to it. In general, it is better to use the anticatics function.

Challenges

They are affected by many people leaving about "Passat B6" reviews. Particularly praise PPD - "Pack of bad roads", especially for countries such as Russia. These versions have overestimated clearance and more rigid, reliable suspension.

The car holds the car perfectly, on the highway - as if it was alone. If in a pair with good rubber, of course. Due to rigidity, truth, road irregularities are felt. But for excellent challenges You have to pay a small tolly comfort, nothing to do anything. But nothing knocks and does not rattle - it is worth it.

Electronic assistants are triggered when it is necessary. ESP is disconnected from the button and is reflected by the pictogram on the Passat B6 panel when activating any of its system.

AUTO HOLD function deserves special attention. It helps to hold the car in place with full press on the brake pedal. Very convenient on traffic lights and traffic jams. And when a person hens on gas, the function is automatically deactivated. Works, by the way, solely when the seat belt is fastened.

I am glad in this car and adaptive steering with an electric detector, which changes the effort depending on the speed of the machine. It makes the "Passat" incredibly obedient. What is very important. The driver should feel that he is controlling the car, and not she.

Operation in winter

Whatever standing under the hood of the model "Passat B6" engine, the car will still begin even in the most severe frost. Not to say that from a half-trip, but still starts. People who have a desire and opportunities pay for Webasto equipment and are deprived of any problems associated with this topic.

Some motorists say that inconvenience delivers low landing and a long base of the machine. With unclean roads in winter it is difficult to drive, while not scratching the bottom. However, due to the manual regime of the gearbox (or "mechanics"), the mass of the car and front drive The ability to get rid of minimize.

Even in winter, electronic stabilization systems and ABS are very helpful. Useful features, especially on our roads.

In general, during the cold season, the car behaves not bad. The owners of the "Passat B6" in responses are recommended before the start of frost check the battery, and it is better to put a new one, preferably with a maximum starting current. AND fuel filter Before the winter you need to change. The owners of diesel versions are better to surpass on the "Webasto" because without preheater Motor starts long, reluctant. And only under load. Analog is an electrical heater ("hairdryer").

Equipment

Reviews of Passat B6 you can read a lot about the complete set of this car. As mentioned earlier, the car is comfortable, and on the presence of various kinds of electronics and functions is also reflected. So, that's what is included in the List of Basic Equipment:

• LED rear lights and halogen headlights.
• Side mirrors in the body color with electric heating and repeaters of rotation pointers.
• Leather steering wheel neck.
• Tachometer.
• Adjustable steering column.
• Multifunctional color display.
• Height adjustable front seats.
• Separate armrest in front.
• Pockets on the backrests of seats, mats.
• Driving seat electric drive.
• CZ and key Du.
• Front and rear electric windows.
• Cooled glove box and bottle holders in the door.
• Airbags (driver's, passenger, side, head).
• ISOFIX mount.
• Three-flow safety belts with retainers and pretensioners.
• Electronic Safety and Motion Control Systems (ABS, ESP, TSC, Cruise Control, etc.).
• Air conditioning, cabin filter, RCD-310 radio, 8 speakers.

And this impressive list is far from full list What is in the car. There is also a self-defining mirror, rain sensors, reading lamps, immobilizer. Even a 12-volt socket is in the "Passat B6" - in the trunk one and the rear of the central console is different.

And in cars with a maximum configuration, there is in the literal sense of the word all - rear armrest, side airbags, sport seats, leather interior and many other pleasant options.

Disadvantages and features

They have every car. This nuances pay attention to the owners of the B6 model:

• Mirrors. They could be made more large. Some assure that it is because of the small mirrors, there were moments when the accident threatened. In general, they do not fully correspond to the level of the machine.
• Front side windows. Mud throws them all the time. The mudguards do not cope.
• Heating windshield. In general, the presence of this feature should be a plus. Yes, on "B8", where the film is heated and there is. But on the "B6", where the whole scattering of threads can be seen, blinding in bad weather and at night from the oncoming headlights - minus.
• Front racks. Too thick. Because of them really sometimes not visible pedestrians.
• Castles trunk and doors. Pressure boom - a big problem in this car. It's easy to push and close it does not work. You need to apply effort.
• Blue backlight. On an amateur. Many say that it spoils ideal devices, from which the indicators would be read perfectly, do not be it.
• Automatic transmission She has both weighty pros and unpleasant nuances. One, to be more accurate. By default, it saves fuel to the maximum. To make her stop doing it, it falls for a long time and with effort to put pressure on the gas pedal. Or wrap it with additional possibilities manually.
• Rolls. There are turns. The steering is gorgeous, but the suspension is not sufficiently soft. As a result - dissonance in sensations.

But the main feature that each version of the "Passat B6" (wagon and sedan) is aware of the quality of service. The car is really very complicated. And he is for people who know where to serve it and who to trust to do it.

Feeling of owners and cost

About this - finally. If it is detailed to study the reviews left about "Passat B6", then you can notice the paradox. Everyone says it is a reliable, comfortable, fast and dynamic car, which gives only pleasure. But ... buy it they do not recommend. Rather, so: before the acquisition, they are advised to look into the price list and familiarize themselves with the cost of spare parts.

Machine itself is inexpensive, but a lot of money is needed for service. By purchasing "B6", there is a risk of "binding" to official VW representatives. Because in the event of a breakdown or a serious defect, in whose garage or even in specialized service It will be difficult to fix it. One single inspection, according to the owners of the "Passat", costs about five to six thousand rubles.

But if this nuance does not scare, then you can take. The best model with a turbine is best. Pickup from the lowest, instant acceleration - indescribable sensations from driving! True, permanent active ride can significantly increase fuel consumption and oil. High speed lovers have to make a replacement: 1000 kilometers \u003d half-liter oil.

But even without a set of high speeds, the machine behaves dynamically. If you need to rebuild or join the stream, there will be no problems with this. Yes, and on the track, the overtake of the loaded truck goes with an impressive margin.

Regarding the price? As mentioned earlier, "B6" is not produced for 7 years. But there is a lot of ads for the sale of used versions.

For example, the model of 2010 with a 1.8-liter 152-strong engine and an "machine" in the middle configuration will cost about 450-500 thousand rubles. Mileage at the same time will be about 120,000 km.

Prices on model of earlier releases begin with 250 000 r. When buying it is important to look at the state of the car. In general, it is better to pay attention to the models of more expensive. It is advisable to overpay for quality at the stage of acquisition, than then investing impressive amounts in correcting the shortcomings that are not identified during the inspection of the machine.

The presentation of Volkswagen Passat B6 has become a big surprise. The manufacturer abandoned multi-dimensional front suspension in favor of a simple McPherson, leaving more advanced solutions for AUDI. Potential customers rejoiced by such a step because it meant lower costs for maintenance. However, it turned out that Passat B6 was not cheap in operation, and some copies of the truly road.

Diesel engines

The framework for the manufacturer became a constructive defect, affected European versions that were predicted commercial success. We are talking about cars with a 2.0 TDI PD engine with a capacity of 140 hp Most buyers chose this unit, and not outdated and weak 1.9 TDI. Problems began in a couple of years. Because of insufficient oil pressure, the wave of turbocharger failures was dropped, and sometimes jammed the engine. In addition, cracks appeared in the head of the cylinder block. In all these surprises it was difficult to believe, considering high reliability Volkswagen diesel engines.

At the same time, it turned out that the components of the modern 2.0 TDI PD, which perform the same functions as in 1.9 TDI, are twice as expensive. In 2007, Volkswagen took off the production engine 2.0 TDI PD (BMP designation), and instead suggested an improved version of a diesel engine with the "Common Rail" injection system. Nevertheless, the undervalued reputation has greatly affected the statistics of sales of cars with a motor 2.0 TDI. However, in practice, the owners of the trade winds 1.9 TDI and 2.0 TDI with the COMMON Rail system do not face with serious problems.

For those interested in Diesel Passat, the best choice It will be 1.9 tdi without a smbed filter. 1.9 With the DPF Symbol received the BLS designation. Another feature of the presence of solid particle filter is the 7GC code on the data plate. The biggest drawback is the fastening of the pump-nozzles with one screw. The connection strength is low - nozzles begin to "walk". The only solution is to replace the head block. Despite the fact that in 2.0 TDI PD nozzles are attached to two screws, they are also loosened.

Engines 2.0 TDI-PD can be divided into three versions. The easiest BMP with eight valves was obtained by "expansion" 1.9 TD / 130 hp, known for the previous generation. He offered the power of 140 hp and mandatory solid particle filter. IN fuel system Used reliable and durable electromagnetic pumps.

A more complex 16-valve version had the same power of 140 hp. And denoted by BKP. DPF did not relieve her. Unfortunately, the manufacturer, seeking to offer more refined operation of the motor, used advanced Piezoelectric VDO fans. In addition to the "loosening" in the head, sometimes refused electronics of nozzles control.

Of course, BME is the worst option. He combined problem nozzles and a diesel filter.

All 2 liter diesel engines use an additional balance shaft. This is the greatest betrayal. The problem was in the drive of the oil pump through the hex head from one of the balancing shafts. Balancing shaft is connected with the crankshaft chain. The thin chain was quickly worn out, the balancing shaft rotated everything more slowly, and at the same time the pump performance fell. As a result, the engine was worn out and clinually.

In 2006, with the advent of the 170-strong version of BME, the manufacturer made changes. The thin and unreliable chain was replaced by the gear system (gears). But nothing has changed, since another problem was discovered, which VW did not even suspect. The hex shaft of the oil pump drive quickly flashed. And the jammed engines began to appear again.

Unfortunately, the fault was observed in more modern 2-liter diesel engines with the Common Rail injection system. Until 2010, the length of the hexagon shaft was 77 mm, and after it increased to 100 mm. Changes to the alloy to increase wear resistance were previously made.

Until 2010, 2.0 TDI CR was used, the so-called, small EGR valve. Sometimes it was faced by his control step engine. In addition, the version with the "small" EGR is prone to rapid clogging throttle valve. Since 2010, with the transition to Euro5, a "big" EGR has been installed, which could break the valve valve mechanism.

Gasoline engines

Among gasoline engines VW Passat B6 Negative Characters of Steel 1.4 TSI and 1.8 TFSI (160 hp) - the timing chain is stretched, and the tensioner is surrendered. If in time to respond to the characteristic "grinding" and interruptions in work, it will be possible to avoid a dangerous jump or breakage of the chain.

In addition, the EA888 turbosters (1.8 and 2.0 TSI) are prone to consumption of a large amount of oil due to the unsuccessful design of the pistons and rings. However, this ailment is ever less common, as many engines are already repaired, which is very expensive.

EA888 series engines are equipped with validistracy phase variasts (since 2007), which should vary with the timing chain kit. The cost of one phase management is about 30,000 rubles, and the timing kit is about 10,000 rubles for work as soon as 15,000 rubles will be asked, so many things have to disassemble.

The FSI series engines without turbocharged by severe diseases do not suffer, but are prone to accumulating a large number of Nagara. In aggregates with direct injection of fuel through the intake valve only air. As a result, the block's head is worse than if the fuel and air mixture came through the valve. This leads to the formation of soot in the head, the thrust falls, and the fuel consumption increases. Cleaning is a time-consuming operation (about 30 000 rubles).

6-cylinder motors (VR6 3.2 and 3.6) - highly rare on the market. They are worthy of attention, if well-groomed and regularly served.

1.4 TSI Ecofuel (150 hp) - a unique small-sector four-cylinder version designed to work on natural Gas (CNG). If necessary, gasoline can be used. You can identify the cost-effective version in the pointer of the amount of gas installed instead of the coolant temperature pointer. Another feature is an extra neck under the filling taste. The gas tank consists of separate cylindrical blocks. Two are in rear axisand one - in front of her. Between them is located fuel tankreduced to the volume of 31 liters. 21 kg of natural gas is placed in tanks.

1.4 TSI Ecofuel is equipped with a double supervision, which is a combination of a turbocharger and a mechanical compressor. Due to work on natural gas, the manufacturer had to modify a number of components. When working on gasoline, nozzles are cooled with flow gasoline. However, this feature is absent when working on gas. To prevent sintering nozzles, they are equipped with two teflon rings and a heat-resistant aluminum cone acting as a shield.

In addition, the engine received forged pistons, which are significantly more durable and durable than aluminum pistons of the usual gasoline 1.4 TSI. The reason is a higher octane number, at level 128. Forged pistons are not destroyed, which is typical for 1.4 TSI with double supervision.

Transmission

It is impossible not to mention automatic box Dual clutch gears DSG. In fact, it is a robotic mechanic - with a clutch and a two-mask flywheel, exactly the same as in an ordinary manual transmission. But at the same time, key nodes of the presetative gearbox are less durable and more expensive.

The most common dSG problem - The failure of the mechatronics (mechanics controlled by electronics). At the same time, the fault indication is displayed, and the box goes into emergency mode. Most often, the problem affected cars collected until 2008. Repair may require about 40,000 rubles. In Europe, the box is able to move up to 150-200 thousand km, in Russia it is withstanding an average of 60,000 km. To extend the life of the "robot", it is necessary to periodically change the oil - every 60,000 km, which will cost about 9000 rubles.

Electrician

One of the most significant changes, in comparison with the predecessor, was the mass introduction of electronics. Thanks to this, Volkswagen Passat B6 received unprecedented equipment. It was great until everything worked. The problem is that the electronics live more than worked, especially in the first years of production. Over time, the manufacturer solved a number of questions, but not all. So the owners face them to this day.

Electric parking brake It is an element of security. But he also hangs, as a result, the car becomes immobilized while the switch will not be replaced. A poker item has such an annoying puncture. It is believed that the defect affects only copies of the initial production period, collected until 2008.

Less often, the problem with brakes occurs due to damage to the wiring harness connecting the switch and rear brake caliper. In addition, control electromotors in the calipers can supply.

The electric power lock was called the "brainchild of hell": in case of its failure, the steering wheel is completely blocked. The message "STEERING COLUMN MALFUNCTION" (fault of the steering column) means that it is time to visit the service station. If the steering icon caught fire yellowIt means that the service can still be reached independently if red is only on the evacuator. In the official service, the steering column is completely changed, since most elements are integrated into the overall design. What is interesting, on the Internet you can find detailed guideHow to independently eliminate the malfunction of the ELV blocking unit. The recovery process is quite complicated, so interfere in steering Car without experience is not worth. Costs for troubleshooting will be about 30,000 rubles.

Other ailment - faulty motors of door locks. They are an integral part of the locks, so they change assembly. Sometimes optional parking sensors stop working due to wiring problems.

Another feature of the car is the complexity of the design that does not allow most of the owners to produce dIY repair. Without a diagnostic computer, it is possible to add oils into the engine or coolant into the tank.

Interior

If you drop all the emotions associated with Volkswagen as a prestigious car, then B6 appears as something average in its segment, with the exception of space, a spacious trunk and high quality interior finish. The salon looks good even after 200,000 km of run.

The trunk is just a huge - 565 liters.

Equipment, albeit rich, but does not greatly go beyond the framework of the standards adopted in the classroom. Already in the basic configuration Trendline in the Passat there are 10 airbags, climate control, in Highline - leather seats with Alcantara and a more advanced climate climatic installation. Often there are instances with RNS satellite navigation system and a multifunctional steering wheel.

The overall level of comfort is good, but there are more favorable offers on the market, for example Citroen C5. And if someone needs a car with a large number of space on the second row, then you can choose Ford Mondeo or Skoda Superb.. Unfortunately, the prestigious question is the possession of the Passat affects the price of the car, keeping the bar too high.

CLIMATRONIC or CLIMATIC?

It sounds strange, but the previous generation of B5 never offered a two-zone climate control. The automatic version of Climatronic was not much different from the similar device in Passat B3 and B4, both from the user's point of view and technical terms.

In B6, the climatic has become a full-fledged two-zone climate control. The basic semi-automatic CLIMATIC air conditioner is much easier. Most of the first owners preferred to pay extra for the best version, so today Climatronic dominates among used copies. However, it is better to look for simple versions with a climate. There are several reasons for this.

The well-known two-zone problem automatic system Air Conditioning Volkswgenn - Fault of the electric drive flap. About the end approximation will tell the characteristic knock. The reason is the wear of plastic gear of electric motors. As a rule, those responsible for regulating the temperature are first given. Attack applies to cars released until 2009. After VW, it produced modernization and replaced the original plastic parts to the metal used from the very beginning in the AUDI machines.

Another problem is associated with the heater radiator. He is pretty small in size. Over time, its cells are clogged, and the effectiveness of heating decreases. The disease is exacerbated by neglecting the regular renewal of the cooling fluid G12 +. First, the passenger side stops normally. As the heat exchanger is clogged more and more, heat is becoming less and from the driver's side. At first, the problem is solved by increasing the specified temperature. But the effectiveness of the warm-up eventually falls. The only thing that can help is replacing the radiator. By the way, he has undergone modifications for machines manufactured since 2008 - there were slightly increased honeycomb.

Body

The body is very well protected from corrosion. However, "blisters" may appear on the lower edge of the rear doors, the hood, wheel arches, or the trunk lid.
