Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Looking to buy a B6 Passat

    Hi all

    fairly new to the VW scene although fairly active on the SAAB Scene. Long story short, looking at 2006 B6 Passat 2.0 FSI Turbo Auto for my wife.

    Would appreciate some advice on what to look for and how reliable or not they can be.

    Some specific questions re an example I looked at yesterday:

    1) Are the autos (6sp non DSG) problematic?
    2) The car I looked at yesterday was serviced every 15k km. Is that the recommended interval?
    3) Do all FSI engines sound like diesels at idle. Was really suprised there. This one sound like a diesel.
    4) What is the recommended interval for belts (this one has 80k km).

    All advice would be appreciated.

    cheers
    Louis
