Ok let me start by saying over all, its a great car, but a lemon at the same time.
We brought a brand new, MY18.5 Passat Alltrack, with the 7sp DSG gearbox.
First 5K kilometers, no issue.
Then the interior started to rattle squeak and creak like a 100 year old man, back to VW to rectify as much as they could, seamed OK for a whole but over the next 25k it just got worse. I have managed to stop most of the interior creaks by the liberal use of PTFE spray between all the plastic panels etc. However the doors, the dam things just SUCK balls, vibrate at different speeds, road etc. I have not been able to fix these.
The suspension bushes have had to be fixed as they squeak on all road conditions, was told they needed to be re-lubricated.
Front drive shafts needs to be greased due to the know dry spline issue on all VWs.
The door rubbers, no matter what you use and how you apply it, squeek after about two weeks.
Rear hatch, squeeks when you go in and out of driveways, no matter what you do with it, how you lubricate it, how its adjusted.
Not there is oil leaking at the back of the turbo.
I mean WTF VW.
We also have a Touareg and that thing is bullet proof.
Speaking to the services adviser, a new guy who seams to be a bit more honest, stated that the B8 passat has had noting but interior and fit finish issues since new and its one of their most complained about car.
Has anyone had similar issue.
Thanks
