    How many km do you folks have on your B8 passats?

    Evening all,
    I'm wondering how many km people are running on their B8 Passats.

    Specifically of interest to me are those with the 1.8 (132kw) engine and 7 speed DQ200 DSG transmission.

    I'm trying to gauge how long I can expect mine to last, currently a 2019 at 79,000km.
    I'm budgeting for a water pump/thermo unit replacement and DSG clutch and mechatronics repair in the future.

    Cheers.

    Mine is a 2017 model (1.8 (132kw) engine and 7 speed DQ200 DSG transmission).It has done only 60K in over 8 years. I recently had the water pump replaced following a coolant leak.So you probably are due for a pump replacement so keep an eye on the coolant level.I also did a factory reset of the DSG and it seems to have smoothened out some of the issues I was experiencing.
