texases, do you mean to infer that since CS said that the 2000 to 2008 Passats had problems, then the 2009 and 2010s do also?
You may be correct but if so, that would be a lucky guess.
That is like saying that your grandfather was shot at age 100 by a jealous husband and that will happen to you too.
Sorry OP, I can’t do any better. Check out VWVortex. Although a VW site, posters are free to post the truth.
Does to 2008 mean 2008 inclusive or up to 2008?
PS: Does slightly modified mean that VW fixed the problems?
