Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg

I’ve never been able to find out the GVM. If you happen to find out, could you please post the info.

So if you look in back of manual you can find it.
GVM upto 2300kg
Then you minus tare or kerb weight = payload.
Kerb weight is with full tank of fuel,
Which is 1705kg.
Tare mass is with 10 litres of fuel which is an industry standard,
Which is 1671kg.
So with full tank fuel it’s 2300kg-1705kg =595kg payload.


Hope this helps

Hi there , can anyone tell me the Gross vehicle mass GVM (kgs): trying to work out payload. looking to get one for work. Also whats a good price? been quoted $54ish sunroof and metallic paint.

I paid $51.5k with metallic paint minus sunroof.
I'm sure you won't be dissapointed if you buy one.

G'day,

When my car was delivered the salesguy assured me that the AdBlue would last until the first service. However with 12,000 km on it now it's saying AdBlue range is 2400km and beeping every time it's started. Is this typical usage? I'm not really concerned it's just my travel is about 50% highway so I thought AdBlue might last better.

Cheers,
Karl

Yeah, sales people.....

Unfortunately there is no ‘typical’ with adblue usage because the type of driving you do will impact it hugely. However - my adblue usage is higher than yours so I would say you’re doing fine.

Plenty of locations on the north island have adblue at the pump - you can top it up whenever you want. (Presuming you are from one of the mainland states, not Tassie)

I'm looking to buy a WBE... anyone recommend a good dealer in Sydney or surrounds to approach? Do we still have a list of best prices and options for reference?

thanks

just checked out the VW website. MY18.5 Passat WBE is basically the same as MY18. The only difference is it now have a 7speed DSG. Still no Park Assist for those that need it... lol

I filled the Adblue last night at an Adblue pump (BP). It took 12.8 L and cost just under $10 ($0.77/L). I thought the tank was 13L but the car said there was still 1700km Adblue range before filling. Maybe there's some reserve...

It took 12.8L? Your car should tell you how much to add. You don't fill it like petrol AFAIK.

you just fill it up, and away you go. No more complicated than that.
