Appreciate the community's input - here in Australia the Passat market is small so finding the right used vehicle is a challenge.

Looking at two options at a similar price point - $24k

1. 2020 140TSI Business Wagon - 2.0T with 93,320kms
or
2. 2018 132TSI Comfortline...

Hi everyone,

First introductory post and I am after some advice.

Unfortunately my mother passed away and I have received her 2015 Tiguan R-Line.

I was with her when she brought it brand new and it's always been serviced by a VW dealer.

I recently purchased a 2020 (20MY) Golf R7.5 which now has 25,500km on the clock. Still working my way around the car. Recently a message came up indicating a oil service was due in 28 days, now down to 13 days.

Clearly this is based on time since a previous service rather than kms travelled....

Hoping someone can shed some light on this before I take the vehicle to our local specialist & apologies for the long story.

2010 VRS with 234,000 on the clock. Has been regularly serviced up until the last that was due at 231,000.
The last time it was driven it started &...

Hi All, I'm sure this must have been discussed before but searching the forums has not got me what I'm after. Between myself and my wife we have 2 VW Passat Alltrack's, a 2015 and a 2018, both diesels. Both have lowish kms, as in 70k kms each, and I'm considering having one or both of them tuned, as...

Hi guys and gals,

Looks like my 3rd mechatronic in 12 months is about to ***** itself. Is it just bad luck or more to the story?!

First repair was mechatronic, clutch packs and forks. 511 kms later and the mechatronic died under warranty and replaced. 15k kms later, TCM...

Good evening to all. I have a quick question regarding the importance of mileage when looking at VW’s?

A few GTI, R, and even a Polos I’m considering here in Perth are all over 100,000 kms? What are the things I should be aware / wary of when looking at cars over the ton?

Hi all
I’ve just bought my very first VW. A T5 Transporter! It’s old and has high kms but it’s perfect as a workhorse!

Hi.

I've finally joined as I'll probably need specific advice. Very very soon. Hopefully I can contribute some as well.

I've got a 2011 MY12 Jetta TDI which I've personally put over 300,000 kms on.
I've just bought a 2009 MY10 Jetta TDI with quite low kms.

Hello all, as is self evident by my posting here I am new to the forum.

I have been driving my 2.5L MY99 VW T4 Syncro for the past two years all around the country. Factory camper converted by Trakka in 2000, it was purchased by my Grandparents and has done fairly few kms considering the...

Hi Folks. New to the forum. We are looking at buying a new Campervan. In particular a Transporter 6.1 based van. I would like the 4Motion but trying to keep costs down - to a king ransom rather than the value of crown jewels - so looking at the 340 rather than the 450, which is 6.5k dearer.
