Hi all
Just wanted to see if anyone has had their Passat checked out (under the free inspection offer or otherwise) for the issues that have been in the press recently?

Hmm, is this only for cars currently under warranty?

It doesn't say that in the Letter.
I'd imagine from a PR perspective they'd be open to offering the free inspection to any VW.
Plus my understanding of the issue (which I haven't been following closely, I'll admit) that caused all this was the "sudden power loss" and subsequent accident with a truck in a Golf, which looked to be an early mk5 which would be out of warranty by now.

A work colleague has had gearbox problems with his Passat (118TSI)... Volkswagen so-far have fitted a new clutch pack (about 2 weeks ago).. The dealer told him the "friction material had delaminated" and that this clutch pack was a modified design (Mar 2013 IIRC)...

I wonder if the sudden deceleration is regarding car going on limp mode in the freeway?? I had this happen to me luckily on a approach to a roundabout but it scared the hell out of me because cars behind me was going so fast. I wonder if anyone here experienced this limp mode and had a close call. By the way my car is a TDI with DFP ( dumb F@r4in## particulate.

From one report, appears Golf concerned was GTI, eg, larger engine than std Golf. BUT not troublesome twin charger. However, being a manual, could have slowed down very quickly if motor stopped or went into limp mode.

If you have a MKV, or any with a DSG, you absolutely should.
