Images and issues with my 2007 V6 Passat

i could be wrong, but i use to have problems with a magna making a groan, this was due to the power steering belt slipping, or when hitting full lock, sounds familier anyway.. maybe to obvious!

2007 passat looks great btw!

Thanks nick_80 yeah love my passat and it's only done 2500 km. . . lotsa love left.

Whatever the problem is, it sounds like a design fault or the way a batch was put together, two others on here have experienced it and my dealer knows about it. I was waiting to see if anyone has had it resolved yet before I escalate the matter.

Had the brake caliper kit fitted the first week of the school holidays (day after long weekend).

The noise has gone.
VW have sent a service bulletin to all dealers.

No cost.

This car is simply awesome.

Brother in law has a s60r Volvo.
Passat V6 leaves it shaking in its boots.

Likewise the groaning noise on hard lock from the front end of my 3.2 V6 (2007) from new. Sounded like a hydraulic pump spilling excess pressure but trip to dealer has fixed it.

A little more disturbing was a tendency for the ABS to work at very low speed. Fixed with a firmware patch.

Other than that it is by far better car than my last car, a 2001 MB C200K sedan that would have to be the most unreliable car I have ever owned! Performance wise the dub runs rings around it!
