      Hi - unfortunately the issues you have mentioned with your Passat are all quite common issues.

      - Mechatronic brain for the DSG gearbox is a common issue (and one of the reasons i chose a manual).
      - Injectors and associated wiring loom for the 125kw TDI engine are also a common issue and are often replaced even after new car warranty has expired.
      - A/C compressor. A family friend had a Passat of around your cars vintage and his A/C compressor failed also.

      Hopefully, being a 2007/2008 model, most of these issues would have been taken care of with the new car warranty?
