New Passat 206TSI R-Line

Sorry my bad. There were Harvard Blue 206 but they are pre 2018. Passat dropped the colour from 2018

Yeah sorry guys, I just checked the build sticker on the door and it says August 2017, it was complied in November 2017 but is an MY18. I put a deposit on it two days after it went up on Carsales, at the time the seller was saying he'd already had a few calls about it due to the "colour being rare and it having the MY18 update". Over the phone and on collection he'd mentioned a couple times that he was still getting heaps of calls about it (several a day) and that a couple VW dealerships even called and offered to buy it off him. He said he was happy it was going so he could take the ad down.

It's a bit of an anomaly, my guess is it was a late August 17 build just as they were introducing the MY18 update. So the new gear was slapped into a car with a discontinued colour? That or the seller has gone to the trouble of updating everything.

Actually it is a MY17; "specifications are as planned at September 2017, for MY18 and are subject to change without notice or obligation"... Looks like you just missed the boat due to the car being built in August 2017. Compliance dates mean nothing regarding model years etc. Either way, great car. I assume it was owned by an enthusiast due to the UGP (Underground Performance) sticker on the rear window. And the fact you have Station Logo's too. Most "lay people" would not have gone to the trouble of adding Station Logos...

Actually your comment rings true regarding the "update" as yours has Discover Pro 9.2" instead of the previous 8", however I still think they were filtering down the model line up during 2017 anyway, unless the previous owner added Discover Pro 9.2".

But enjoy the car mate!

I added the station logos, the pervious owner got all his cars serviced at Underground. Either way I'm stoked with it.

If it was serviced at UGP, is it tuned?

I guess we will never know...

Harvard Blue was definitely an option for my18 models. We went with white instead and was annoyed when they introduced the navy blue a few months later as we wouldve gone with that.

Actually not the case...

Harvard Blue Metallic was not available on an MY18 Passat; "specifications are as planned at September 2017, for MY18 and are subject to change without notice or obligation"...

Pure White has always been available on Passat models...

Harvard Blue Metallic was available from launch (Oct 15) MY16 and was dropped for MY18.
Night Blue Metallic was available from launch (Oct 15) MY16 and was dropped for MY19.5 and was replaced by Atlantic Blue Metallic for MY19.5.

Harvard Blue Metallic has been available on the Passat Alltrack since launch.
Atlantic Blue Metallic has been available on the Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition since (Sept 17) MY18.

Maybe colours for 206 wagons were different? When we specced ours in August 2018 there was 5 colours. White, black, silver, grey and Harbard blue.

Hi Guys,

I am fairly late to this thread.

I am looking at replacing my 147 Jetta with a 206TSI. I have driven a couple, and am mighty impressed - the Passat has come a long way, and compared to my ageing Jetta, is it a proper luxury car.

How have these held up? Many of the early vehicles will be coming to the end of their warranty period, and before I bite the bullet and purchase one, I would like to know if there is anything to look out for.
