Small rattle in engine bay at tick-over. Sounds like heat plate is loose.
This is our fourth VW and third Passat Estate.
Car is very quick and economical.
Engine pulls like steam train in all gears.
TIP: Get out of first quickly and let torque in second really pull car along when moving off.
Sixth to fourth allows amazing overtaking in terms of safety and refinement.
Car is very quiet as well.
Load space is better proportioned than earlier version allowing items to be stored lengthways rather than sideways making it good for prams and buggies.
Getting 35MPG at moment with heavy right foot.
Interior is superb.
Standard equipment is excellent.
Overall would give this a 9.5/10.
So glad I did not buy A6 TDI or E Class 300TDI.
From the comments on your 2.5TDI you have pushed me into going for the 2.5TDI rather than the 1.9 TDI. I've another two weeks to wait till delivery so I will be in touch again to give you my comments on the car.
