Flawed review of VW Passat Alltrack

[Cossor]

Possibly but all it requires is a bit of that very uncommon thing "Common Sense," to make it easier both on you and the car.

Personally I wonder at the wisdom of turning off a very hot engine and leaving it with no coolant circulating through engine and especially the turbo. Lots of people like to spool down a turbo with the oil running through it till it cools off a bit. It has been known for oil to boil if this is not done. Maybe VW have a magic formula to prevent this.

I had a turbo timer on my Cruiser that allowed about 45 secs for the above.

From an older thread regarding Diesel? Golf, it appears with motor turned off, a pump continues to ensure cooling oil? coolant? circulates for benefit of the turbo.

Well it must be a very quiet pump because it seems nothing is going in the Passat when it stops. Would be interested to know for sure.
