  • 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.

      I have 50k on 2017 passat alltrack diesel. I had to replace water pump around 35k. Out of warranty but VW paid half when i pushed the issue. I also had an airbag replaced under warranty and a leaking A/C drain fixed. A/C drain fix was a bigger problem than it sounds. No other real issues. Of course i have a six speed wet DSG so not equivalent to yours. For maintenance items, my back brake pads and discs wore out very quickly. I think the rotors were defective since they were badly scored. I replaced the back pads with ATE ceramic. I still have original front pads and discs and they look fine.
