Can u do a review on the Honda Accord vii , would really appreciate it.
Hi guy. Your videos helps a lot to buy used and good cars! Thank you.
“The flame less door windows looks awesome...no shit!”
Mercedes CLS 2012-2014
Nice video! You could make BMW 1 Series first generation!!
Or seat leon/Skoda octavia RS generations
Can you make a video about the Seat leon
Hello, do you recommend buying a 2009 2.0 TDI model with 200k km ?
Thanks for making these. These videos are awesome!
agree
I just bought a used one of these with 90k on the clock. Beautiful car. Going to make sure to look after it.
How is it going?
I own 2013 VW CC 1.8 TSI, the car interior was awesome, the leather seats condition still maintain really well, I can’t find any car Mercedes or BMW leather seats can match it. So far only the 7 speed dry DSG mechatronic failed and I just changed it to 6 speed wet DSG. So far the car never failed. The ride and handling is awesome. DCC still working well. The cabin is quiet even at 120km. Never regret getting this car. Compared my previous BMW 325i E90 give me endless problems.
Thanks for saying this. They are going for so cheap and I’m tempted on picking one up.
How much did that cost to fix
Hi there! Any chance you’re in SG or MY? Looking at a unit here in SG haha
Thanks for your comment ,makes my new purchase seem a great idea!
The wet DSG gearbox can be fit without any modification to the engine?
As soon as my 2012 VW cc hit 89k miles I got sensors going out and the water pump going out. The intake manifold is also an issue on these cars but under 100k it’s under warranty. I’m now at 92k miles and it creeks a lot. Rattles a bit too. For under 100k I’m surprised at how much money it’s taken in repairs. I would not recommend it at all.
Oh I forgot to mention the drives seat is already worn out a lot and it’s only had one owner who took pretty good care everywhere else on the car. If you do have one though put a magnaflow exhaust on it.
Have the 2009 passat cc 2.0 Tsi for first car and its an amazing model, solid and stable on the highway with 200hp and the Germanic vibe 👌💯
Hey there! What is the fuel consumption?
Around 95,000 miles the valve cover/EGR valve will leak cause rough idle in Park and Neutral on the VR6 engines. Fix: Replace Valve Cover. Price: around $450 for the part and $400 for labor. It's a very easy fix to replace it yourself. It takes around 2-3 hours to do
This is what I’m experiencing with my cc right now, every time I go to a local mechanic, they tells me that something wrong with the ignition coil
Can you replace just the egr valve or does it have to be the whole valve cover?
@@cons72712 whole cover, it’s integrated in
The review is so good and accurate, I kept my 2014 CC for 6 years and 105k + miles, fun to drive with great gears, handling and pick up with a nice balance of comfort, but all issues that were highlighted in this review happened back to back once the engine hit 100k miles mark (see minute 4:00) I had to unfortunately let go as repair cost started to add up
You have an estimation of these costs?
@@zbi2169 the problem is that I don't have a garage to I take to the mechanic, I would say 1500-2000 over it's last year, I sold it when I felt the cost was piling up
@@omarustwani2908 Oh ok yeah that's far exceeding what I hoped for. I need a car for an engineering internship this summer for around 4 months, I was thinking of buying an older 2009-2010 model for 4k but if it's not gonna last me the summer forget it :(
It's unfortunate because this car looks really amazing, especially the rear
Yes I believe the majority of those issues are consumable maintenance items. Expecting things not to fail on a car with 100k miles is well...... I don't know what to tell you...
Awesome awesome videos. As a personal opinion, I would lower the background music. Also, will you make one on the vw scirocco?
I just bought a 2009 Passat CC 2.0 for $2500
I see them going for so much more online
Ruben Covaciu 2500? its used or new?
Ezden Khaled ...2009...that means used...and Canadian dollar
Wtff it cost at least 10k my dad bought it for 16
Dapper Don he bought it in 2012 for 15k euro now its 2018 and its worth around 10k euro
Dapper Don no, these motors and reliability are a nightmare, around 2,500 to 5,000 Max for these cars used online is average price
Just bought this car today. Elder prior owner who cared for it well. I hope my hour long daily commute will stop any carbon build up or other problems youve specified.
you can't prevent carbon build up completely, but you can reduce it by changing the oil early-so after max 5 000 mi / 8 000 km
a car used mainly on longer journeys has less carbon build up than a car used mainly on short journeys
and don't be afraid to rev up the engine after proper warming up of course
How is it going?
It is disappointing to know they have fake leather seats. Door panel leather sometimes can be ripped between 2 parts of fake leather. Outside trim under back windshield is broken on 90% CC-s. Also, rust is problem.
those issues could happen to any cars,,,bullshit review
LOLONO62 yes genius. Any car can break down. Fucking Einstein
Bullshit comment
I HAD a 2010, and I must say it was one of the best driving cars I ever drove, but it was a piece of crap!! Once I hit 90k the expensive repairs began, all I can say is stay clear of these cars!
Are they extremely unreliable compared to Lexus and Honda ?
Any thoughts of the 2016 verses earlier years? Looking at one with 52k miles on it.
Please stay away from the vw cc
Looks nice but is a piece of garbage the transmition fail after 150 k
da rewuw is being shitty lol show me the petrol comfort sedan or coupe without any issues up to 200000 miles and with no rust from2008. there just aint no such. all newer cars aint made to last they are made to brake down and rip you off
My dad had a VW cc 1.8 tsi 2011 and the gearbox broke and didn't go in reverse. He sent it far off to a mechanic and they said there are no gear boxes for since its a 7 gear. It got scraped today. I liked the car yet it had so many problems.
Over 160k miles
Timing Belt for a Diesel is every 180.000km
You're so knowledgeable... Thanks Brother!!! :)
This guy must be Finnish ?
Not a CC but I own a 2011 Passat Estate with the 170 2.0 diesel and 6sp manual.
217k miles & original
Turbo
DPF
EGR
Full fuel system (pumps and injectors)
Clutch and DMF
Full exhaust
All engine ancillary - alternator, pumps, radiator etc
The DPF is nearing the end of its life as it regens every 150miles - it must be getting full of ash.
I cannot recommend the 2.0 diesel 170 enough.
I’m in the strange position of what to do with the car - do I fix faults that crop up in the future (all above parts may fail as they have led a full life) or run it into the ground with basic servicing?
For another £1.5k on top of the cars current value I can replace it with like for like with half those miles…
Where is the batterie located
Anyone in here actually own a 2016 CC? I found a decent deal on one with 73k miles.
Thanks guy. You help me to buy one CC V6 4motion. I got it with 46.000km on it. In 14 months I did 50.000km. I use to travel in highways at 190-210km/h with not problems. I replace oil every 8000km and filters. I do the same with the Haldex and the gear box. The car is fine, and fast. The 4motion is great with raining. I can not buy again a car without foud wheel drive. Thus my next car is a CC again or an Audi A6 or A7. If someone can help me what is next a CC 4Motion, please let me know.
Thanks for your videos.
I buy 5 months ago cc v6 with 54000k on it. Nice car. 4 wheels drive..
@@dogmader You bought an amazing machine. Just wait to drive fast during the rain to se what you have bougth!!
How is it going? Any engine problems? I want to buy one
The car has today 180.000km and runs perfectly. Nothing to do besides services on time. Are you thinking to buy one? I love the car!!
Yes! Just found one with 100.000km at 10.000 euros and i think i am gonna buy it
The other options were a Fiat tipo or Dacia Duster
But i still love my '93 Passat and want to continue this relationship
Make sure you change the tensioner or you will be buying a new engine.
So you need to change the timing chain tensioner after 100k km?
"The frameless doors look awes-home no shith" 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
Does anyone know where to buy the DCC adaptive shocks, no one seems to have them and the US market didn’t get the dcc option
I am looking to buy a manual transmission 2014 cc r line with 120k miles on it, what should I look for before I buy it
I bought a brand new 2009 2.0T CC and had to sell it after one year with only 12.5 k miles because of many issues with body hardware, electronics, and insane rattling, not possible to fix. I got the car because of the awesome looks, but she was a beautiful peace of junk.
I purchased 2011 Infinity M37x next. It felt like the upgrade from Yugo 83.
Anyone got 2016 CC Sport PZEV 2.0L TSI? Reviews pls. Is it a risk?
Im looking to buy one too,but i think that the 3.6 v6 is better. If your drive on highways this engine will be better,but inner ckty buy the 2.0tfsi
I’m about to buy one and go look at it today, thank you this was a very helpful video 🎉
I’m taking a look at used 2013 CC with 3 owners and has 65k miles does anybody think I shouldn’t make that move?
Had a 2015 CC Executive loved it had all the bells and whistles to include 4 motion and a V 6 then I lost my job and it got repoed oh well had it for 4 years
I have a 2012 vw CC lux with 110thousand miles on it; synthetic oil changes with a replacement filter will run you in upwards to $125 American dollars.
4new tires on the low end will run you easily starting at around $400 American dollars installed at the mechanic
It’s a fun car to drive, however, the sport mode comes in handy, smooth clutch, and tons of compliments however.
The inside of the vehicle is beautiful and it’ll play DVDs long as your at a standstill lol
Hey , please make a video on the vw tiguan or beetle 😍
Always very helpful information. Awesome channel!
thanks !
Seems like your logic is dead. This is a 4 door COUPÈ because it is based on the mercedes cls (03-11), but you said it isnt a coupè sooooo...
Proof: If you look at the side of both cars you will see a line from the front wheel arch all the way over the fuel door to the tail light (i know that because i own a cls).
Now you know...
Der Keks-Gott Coupe means 2 doors you moron. And don't brag about the CLS. It's on every "worst cars" list, the Black Sheep of Mercedes.
VW says it means "Comfort Compact"
@@burns1210 Before calling someone a moron, check your facts: this car is, in fact, a coupe-a 4-door one. VW and Mercedes started this trend with respectively the CC and the CLS and other car makers (like Audi with the A7 and Honda with their new Accord) followed this trend.
@@tbg6070 your a fucking idiot.
www.worldwidemotors.com/blog/difference-between-a-coupe-and-a-sedan/
"Most people would define a coupe as being a two-door vehicle while a sedan is a four-door. That’s actually not the case, since coupes can have four doors and sedans can have two doors."
The dsg is a fucking big problem !!
Thanks for the video! One question: Is it true that DSG-7 can be very problematic/faulty compared to DSG-6?
yes
@@differentcarreview-dcr How big of a risk would you say it is if I'm buying a 2013/2014 CC with 200,000 km (125,000 mi) with DSG-7?
Iv had the 2009 1,8L version now for 2days, cant say much about it yet but it feels pretty solid.
How was/is it?
How is it going? I want to buy a used one
How is it
Check out my vw cc!!!!!!
thanks bro for this
why does the dsg 7 fail? is the 3.6 engine reliable also?
Lack of maintenance, should do a full dsg cleaning with carter remplacement every 60k miles at best.
1:46 LMFAOO
What commonly fails in transmission?
I intend to buy a 2012 FJ cruiser Jeep....
Could you do a review on that one ....?? . TQ.....
Thank you man. U r awesome 👌
good reviw
This car is full of problems with the engine, so be prepared to burn money, it's a money pit. That's why are so cheap.
WalkinOSF I had an 09 Passat for 4 years (same engine) from 30k to about 70k, no problems. I have had a 2012 cc lux since 2014 and have put about 40k on it (65k on the odometer) and have had no problems of any kind.
sigfrern1970 touareg1970 thanks for the info I was looking to buy one
Silver Evans I guess it’s a roll of the dice. I think if you get a certified used from the dealer with less than 40k, good car fax history, you should be ok. Mine is still going strong and I have had no problems of any kind. My Passat before was good too, and my wife has a 2014 jettawagon Tdi that is very reliable.
no that's only the 2.0 tsi mate, the tdi and vr6 are bulletproof
@@slashtrio I am considering it, CPO, so hope some peace of mind. Yours is which year, and u put how many miles, and paid what on maintenance?
Genauso?😂 00:43
Great video!
"3 pah-sengers"🤣
Harasho Comrade -- good job!
it's horosho, and I don't think he is Russian, sounds like a Pole
Good job 👍🏻
It’s good
great video can you make video passat b7
it's on my list
2019
2021
Good video very nice car but seems like there's too many negatives you make me not want one
borg386
Same here... Just made me loose interest... Now i dont know what to buy...
RedHotChileno I know right? I'm also researching the VW eos. So far, not bad.
I own one, go for it. Downsides are too small. The 2.0 tsi is a tested engine. Dsg transmission too. I could only complain about raddling in the dash which I already found a solution for.
I put an android radio 10" size on it from china by myself, people get crazy when they enter in the car.
Im putting 20" wheels on mine next week too.
What about the 1.8 tsi? I read some horror stories about the timing chain problems...
Gustavo Teza send s a picture of the radio
I own one 2012, I will never buy vw ever again, so far I had to repair / fix: transmission / high pressure fuel pump twice, low pressure fuel pump, steering rack, Pcv valve, tires cup all the time,ignition coils go bad too often, struts/ strut mounts go bad often, if you don't put premium gas in it carbon builds up pretty quick, that's only off the top of my head... If you own one get rid of it ASAP, also It seems like I'm going to have to fix the transmission again or just replace it
how long did you own the car? buy cash or dealer
@@Chris-eo1bp it all started breaking down just after the extended warranty ran out.. At around 60 k miles
I feel sorry you had to experience this.
And I was complaining about my Accord having a rattling noise at cold start lol
@@blair5475 I feel bad for you but my 12 CC lux had 1 oiI seperator leak and intake manifold actuator failure, all fixed under warranty, that's it. Had bushing changed but mostly my fault. One leaked strut but not bad. Sold at 100k miles. Had a tuner on it since 70k.
Hi, nice reviews. Been watching all of them. I have a few questions, hoping you are active to respond to comments. Are you hungarian? what cars from 2005 to 2013 would you recommend for reasonable maintenance cost? Plus for 2016 -... what manufacturers would you say are solid, german, japanese, korean?
Hi
yep, I am hungarian, but I speak slovak language as well
-you know it's hard to tell, but generally the most reliable cars are equipped with a regular naturally aspirated 4,6 or 8 cylinder petrol engine which has regular injection, so not direct injection
-japanese and korean brands are usually reliable and they have a lot of naturally aspirated petrol engines to choose
used german cars require more attention to the regular maintenance / preventive maintenance = higher maintenance costs to keep them running, so it really depends on your personal preference
different car review thanks for your response
another question, what are your thoughts on these new 3 cylinder turbocharged engines that all manufacturers seem to use these days? I figure they must be good especially if the car is not so large and regularly maintained.
Get a corolla s
CC stands for coupet concept
Comfort coupé
I own a 3.6 v6 R line 4 motion CC 2015 !! Its great and fast!! however if you buy one take warranty for it. Like that your head is free of problems and paying repairs! Cheers
I have same version 2010
My ex new boyfriend has one of these from 2010😂
U are fked my man if he got the vr6 then she upgraded your lame ass if its not the vr6 then she downgraded
Cool videos ... Your accent is funny tho :). I have an accent aswell. Im from Romania
I bet his accent is from Hungary.
No, he has a typical Chech accent, perhaps Slovakian. It's unmistakable.
Is a rattling dashboard common problem for Passats? drove 2 and both had same problem. The brake pedal needed to be pressed a lot further to make the car stop. How much does it cost to replace a master cylinder or the brakes?
Arrow Straight yes a rough idle is normal for this 2.0t 4 cylinder motor , even brand new Audi A4 with same Motor has rattling at idle
The automatic transmission in the 2.0T petrol pre face lift models was not a DSG (on the 1.8T it was a DSG).
CC stands for "crappy carbon"
Really sad that the narrator sounds like he's just done selling oranges on the highway before doing this
Really sad for your family that you've turned out the way you are.
VW tried so hard to build a "cool coupe" but this car looks only better than others VW the quality i think is the same shitty VW and im surprised how this car has become popular and a success, i mean just look the quality of interior material and leather!
actually i own one of these and i am very pleased with that :D. very comfy driving. Parts are pretty cheap whats good and they last well.. atleast i have driven with this baby almost 2 years now . And what about casoline... damit... 3.6L / 100km... its grazy, ofc its with autopilot and with 98km/h , but still... moving well, quite fast and comfy :)
Ive had my 2012 CC 2.0T since new. It’s about to be 2018 and thus far, I’ve only had 1 mechanical issue with it, which was fixed free with the power train warranty. I’ve tuned my car a bit to reach around 310hp. I always get compliments on my car, people break their necks to check out my car as I drive around (because it’s an unusual model and rare to find here in Boston MA). But what has intrigued me most, is the interior quality. Yes, its had some cheap plastic parts, but compared to its competitors, the quality is actually really good (something you must experience owning one to notice). The leather on the seats (with regular conditioning maintenance) is as mint as when I first bought it. I’ve seen BMW’s and Benz that released around 2012, and their leather wore out bad, like really bad. You’ll find discoloring, or the leather cracks and gets wrinkly or stretched. My leather seats are mint, no ware. And for leather seats, that’s an oddly rare quality. My CC has successfully assisted me in scoring a ton of women lol no joke dude. That tells me a whole lot about my car. Boston is so filled with Benz BMW and Audi, that my CC ALWAYS grabs the attention as the nicest VW many people has seen. It pays to be different and the highlight of the line of cars at a traffic light :)
Josh The dude thanks for your comment broski. Ive just purchased one and I love the interior. So much nicer than other VW models and has all the extras.
Tim Goldsmith yea I have a 2012 cc luxury and it’s great. I bought it used in early 2015, have had no problems. I think it’s a classy looking car. I think black is the best color in this car in my opinion. I had a 09 Passat before the cc. Very similar cars, the cc just looks better.
Tim Goldsmith after all those months, did you have any problems or reparations to do on the car? I am looking to buy one!
