  • The B6 generation of the Volkswagen Passat was a turning point for the brand, in which VW promised better reliability following its poor reputation for quality with the B5 and B5.5 generation of the Passat. In this video, I cover all of the problems and issues of my family's 2008 Volkswagen Passat 3.6 4motion sedan that has 117,000 miles. Feel free to leave any questions or comments in the section below the video. I hope you enjoy the video!

    Junk yards my friend. Get those little broken things from junk yards. Cheap, OEM parts, and all are DIYs. Nice video!

    Another great video! I'm glad to hear that there haven't been too many significant issues with it. It helps because I'd still love to have one, but the VR6's are unfortunately fairly scarce in my area.

    I had a 2007 Passat wagon and never had any issues with it. I had it for 10 years and put 122,000 miles on it. Only reason I sold it was because I wanted a new Passat. But for me it was a great car. Only major problem I had was the ignition coils/spark plugs but that’s normal. I was able to fix myself.

    Enjoyed watching your video very much, as I have a 2008 Volkswagen Passat 2.0T with 85,000 miles - never had a problem with mine as I try to keep it serviced well on a regular basis, cheers, Davis.

    Nice video, I've got the same car with 242000+ miles. I've got the PCV leak as well as a few other odds and ends but I really really like it. I still have to check that rear sun shade out i dont know if it's broke or not.

    I have Nexen N5000 on my 08 Passat. I just cleaned the intake with seafoam. Video is up. The VR6 is incredible now! Love my 08 it has 122k and you can not tell

    My sunshade did the same thing it's super easy to fix it kinda just pops back in to the shade on the side

    As far as those clicking door hinges all you need to do to fix the problem is to buy a can of lithium grease and spray the hinges your problem will be solved in 2 seconds no more clicking nice and quiet! Overall nice looking Passat never mind the small interior cosmetic issues. It looks like a fairly reasonable car. 👍

    Hey what led lights did you use for all of the lights inside if you could send me a link that would be great!

    I did a test drive a 2008 2.0T, 216k Kms and auto tranny and considering buying it. Do you think I can get another 100k kms and 1-2 years out of it? Is rattling dashboard a common problem? I drove 2 Passats and both had same issue.

    Hi. Regarding the aux port in the glove box, was that pre installed? And what’s it like in the glove box? Thanks

    I've owned a 2004, 2007, 2012, and now a 2016 and luckily I've never had any issues with any of them.

    I have an 08 Passat Wagon with 3.6 and 4motion. Actually same color combo as yours. I have just passed 108,000 miles and it has been fairly reliable in the 4 years I have had it. One question: was the tire cupping you mentioned from worn suspension parts? I have a set of Continental ExtremeContacts and they are really starting to hum. I have yet to have my mechanic address the concern as I fear I have some front suspension replacement ahead of me. Thanks for your post.
