• I test drove a 2014 Passat Alltrack yesterday and after a bit of haggling we decided to go for it pending they get a few trolley dings taken out of the passenger side.

    I noticed a slight engine noise on the test drive which I mentioned to the sales guy, and having got it looked at this morning the dual mass flywheel is starting to let go, which they're replacing under warranty for a shade over $3k

  • Does that mean you are getting the diesel? Make sure it is OE spec and original and not a fake. Have had a factor caught out with fake LUK flywheel kits. While they are there get them to check the starter motor as debris from the dmf collects in the starter bendix or cog and can cause early failure. Are there any easily changeable oil seals at the rear of the engine or gearbox, then when it is apart those bits are easily changed at very low cost. Offer to pay for those bits and make sure that it is on the receipt ;) or different receipt...
