    Hi guys.
    Just recently bought a vw passat 2011 comfortline 1.6 tdi with 70000 on the clock. I have heard stories that this particular make and model are particularly prone to gearbox and turbo troubles. Anyone have any experience with one of these or any vw car?
    Cheers guys ðŸ˜႒

    I'd be worried about a lot of things with that car, EGR, injectors, DPF but you don't see a lot of gearbox or turbo trouble to be fair.

    I thought vw were notorious for them troubles though?

    Maybe other models but not that engine in that car. EGRs and injectors to beat the band though.

    Seems a bit odd that you would buy the car despite thinking that.

    Every car has troubles. I just want to keep on top of them before they cause bigger issues 😣
