Check what buy: 2012 Passat B7, 1.8 T DSG7
Hi!
Fall is coming and with it rain, so very soon you will have to inspect the car in the rain. It gives some difficulties during the inspection. Drops of water on the body to hide many defects in the form of scratches, chips and light pricestoday, so on a wet car, and even in the rain, you might not notice some of the nuances that need to be careful. In such cases, it is easiest to examine each element of the body separately, that is, looked at one wing, then the door next door and so on.
Today we will talk about the Passat B7, 2012гв, 1.8 DSG with mileage of 60 km in the Highline. In those days the rain poured down in Moscow nonstop over two days, so we had to work on the situation. Actually, very often sellers complain about lack of time, so to inspect the car to have very fast, in a hurry. I always, even on the phone, check with the seller if he has enough time to show the car, so no rush. This time I'm not in a hurry. And yet, there is a myth that the thickness on a wet car shows large values. Believe it or not, so usually wriggling out of outbid. In the video below, you can see for yourself.
The exterior of this Passat it was painted the right fender and hood. Nothing criminal. The seller did not hide and, in General, were very friendly and welcoming. The point of any car is not to dokapatsya scratches and to bring down the price, but to find the answers to all your questions and to ensure the integrity of these answers. And if the salesperson about something may or may not know, then you need to check yourself.
Any buyer always looks under the hood, however, not everyone understands what's there to see. What do you need to look under the hood? Actually, there are no secrets. Pay attention to the integrity of the factory mounts mounted items, as well as the power structures of the body. And engine see streaks or fogging fluids.
Then the engine was dry, despite the fact that it is VAG. Also always check the levels of these fluids, do not hesitate to open the surge tank cap (carefully with warm engine), antifreeze should be clean, free of impurities and dirt and oil filler neck, look at the condition of the engine inside. Sometimes there you can see what further inspection of the car you can not continue.
To determine the performance of the engine by ear not everyone is capable of, although sometimes noises and sounds are heard clearly. Ideally, listen to the engine need to cool, so keep very cautious to if at your arrival the seller has specifically warming up the engine. However, if you meet on relatively neutral territory, and the seller attend the inspection yourself, it is possible cold start you lose.
Specifically these engines until 2012 suffered makarora and stretching timing chain. This machine 2012гв, however, to check the status of timing will not be superfluous.
Everything is in order. If you do not go into details and explain your fingers, then 0.3 is a new chain up to 3 normal, about 3 test, 5 – chain replacement. More detailed information on the timing chains you can find in any forum for VAG-am.
The oil consumption you will not be able to diagnose, except that if the oil level is at the min mark, it should immediately be alerted. Ask about oil consumption from the seller. Just ask not – eating or not, and immediately ask how much?:) Oh, and any "wagawaga" with turbine under the hood is always the oil canister in the trunk if she's fresh, and already empty, then surely the oil flow rate is decent. However, all this is very arbitrary, so don't take it at face value.

Also check the car mileage and all the electronic systems. There is no question whatsoever.
To evaluate runs on the Germans as salon very often just pointless, although some traces of wear weave are:
But, it's all individual, and in this particular case, the wear caused by the physical presence of the owner and the presence of rings.
This Passat has a full service history at the dealer is good in the first place so that there is extended warranty on transmission that is important. Mechatronics've been changed at 30K miles, now 60 km and perhaps even one day it can be change free of charge.
In General, this option can be called decent, there are a couple of painted elements, but there are no chips, scratches, and printerdata. The machine is serviced and well maintained, the engine, gearbox, electronics and suspension did not have any issues and after a test drive. As much as anything to argue about the wisdom of buying Used auto for DSG7, however, this transmission has a lot of fans, and I perfectly understand them. Those who consciously approach to the selection of this transmission, certainly understand what it is and how the car rides with her, regarding classic at. Well, the price tag of a car after bargaining began 840тр, you are sure to ask in the comments – how much?:) However, this machine the customer has not bought, and that's why maybe I'll tell you some next time.

Photo will be hard to say, to touch it, will fit only video where every car you can stick your finger in the pipe and will show in the camera, and again before shooting tubes do not wash, otherwise it will be biased.
Let the video at least 5 cars.
to do for you post with the pipes? And you'll be an expert and tell you where is masroor and where not? You won't guess in 99% of cases, and all these cars are from my friends, where with certainty I know eats oil or not.
all machines which suffer from massageroom — smoked a pipe, how much I have changed, if you come with a clear pipe of fresh washed, then everything is clear . I'm not one car has not seen which would have guzzled oil and steel without soot .

There will not be black pipe) in this case.

Too weird. Usually it becomes a thousand under 200-250,and even more.

When I took my W210, it was 182К mileage. Handle automatic — ideally, kozana handlebar near the left needle as the new, and "on 10 and 14 hours" — with reasonable wear and tear. Now at mercy 260К mileage. Leather on the steering wheel near the left needle smooth, sprirulina, as well as the skin on the handle of the automatic transmission. I mean, that each drove his own style. For example, I often just keep the right hand on the handle of the automatic transmission. Well, a habit! And the wheel spokes near the left of the hold, rested her elbow on the door trim. Although the previous owner didn't erase 182К for the steering wheel in the wrong place the handle of the automatic transmission as I wiped them off for 80K.
I assume that the owner of this psata wore rings and in the process drive the fumble or nastukivat in the rhythm of the music richco automatic transmission ))) Here and social.

The mileage is 150.
I think just a well prepared car for geeks with gadgets
Rubbed efficiently runs on all blocks
Show where you find yourself, no need to even think

Hi. Still, once upon a time I was not mistaken in you.
You're quite the Troll)))))
"Here the engine was dry, despite the fact that it is VAG. "-))
I also handle PPC "hurt". A strange condition for mileage. And it is not scratchy from the rings, and temporary fading.
On the other hand. service history is in the documents — and it's gut.
As a former owner of 6 Golf courses, with the confidence that 60 thousand to erase the wheel, the lever and the seat unlikely. The buyer apparently was aware of, and that is not taken. Mileage twisted everywhere and everything. It's not less than 120 100%.
"As a former owner of 6 Golf courses, with confidence I say," Yeah, like that said! And the numbers what does clear! Everything set! We can applaud. Well, long laugh.

With each phrase more open culture with education the newly minted European peasant.
Nothing new. The real Kiev.
And I was the DSG 7 Passaic Benz 1.8 , however 10 years - but externally and internally better .At the time of sale ate 1200 ml / 240 km this box as the warranty was already changed! But the machine liked.
to be honest - like the earlier Passat from Germany was driven with mileage far beyond 400 000 km in the best condition the salon was...
I have the same wheel and knob selector DSG. But they look on my 94 000km — slightly glossy handlebar and grip in excellent condition (though I have a bad habit to always keep the elbow on the armrest and hand on the handle). And this Passat pulls all 194 000 km.
And regarding mechatronics — mechatronics sit for 30000км is the need to be skillful pictures ...
About makarora — engine I have, of course, the other 1.4 of SAKHA, but also falls under the mentioned criteria (say, all Vaga eaten, the only question is — how much). Over 94 000 not refilled even once. The last time the oil level was a little below average.
I've always liked policy, what we have in the family just did not have B5 v6 гольф5, джетта5, B6, and then I bought тигуан2,0C a gun, because that was the fear B7 with a robot, and his father bought a Golf plyus1,6 but with the robot, our love beginning to end. I tiganeasca many ate only a liter to five thousand, but rattling suspension I got, the support that the stabilizer bushings even a pillow of the engine and the creak, in General, to 60000я all the running gear went through, and that several times, and my father three times during the year repaired the DSG, the truth has always provided a courtesy car after an official complaint to the dealership, he took a Golf and changed to new джетту1.4 turbo and also on the DSG, my jet box was working fine, had no problems and the engine is eating oil worse than my Tiguan, and he's haunted salon, the last jet he is wooden, and on the previous he was a soft creak, he was sorry that he sold an old jet"2008" drive it 80000 it is in vain problems is not known. So our love for voltswagon passed. I can say that predydushie model group was much safer, the current generation of them hold a candle to no good. this car after warranty I would buy is not advised., if you don't like to spend time in the service.

And what does my VAG? Know how to read? or only yourself? I told you it was 2 Vaga, and specifically, the second — Passat B6 TSI 2010...ate well-ate.
From friends same the Vaga different years, all complain. But we only believe myself )) Continue in the same spirit ;) I'm not going to argue
What's different years, if You said that 12th year makarora problem was solved by upgrading the piston. This is off the information, I go on 12года VAG and all the forums advise people not buy auto data release to 12 years, and it is better to 13th...or look for live bzb, which is practically impossible. If your friends think Gorom liter per 10 thousand, then I feel sorry for them, because such dynamics are no offers, and pour a liter per 1K₽ either ride on the Dead 2.0 atmo...then everyone chooses which, not read, VAG VAG VAG fucking ...and why you are constantly sawing fords ? There is power shift even more brains doing sitro-Peugeot with their super robots, but a bunch of examples! When the Russians will pass this diagnosis...TGM...

1.4 TSI 2012 I do not eat butter at all. Now the 1.8 TSI 2014, do not eat too very. There are still 1.6 MPI)) 2007) is Also not eating, although it is now leaking valve cover gasket, I change to THAT) Went and go fast, but 90% of the track.
So. For statistics) And it is always written by those who have something already wrong...the rest are just silent)
1.4 tsi 150 BHP 105000 mileage oil change every 10K, never refilled the level in place, pour motul
But the fact remains — dipstick changes not noticed yet. Not past the turbo Leone, not on it. Not me, not many companions level falls.
the turbo engine because of its features "eat" oil, so that no gram -no in nature...
Well so about that and speech.Dipstick is normal. Another method of measuring I don't know)
Happen. And, as practice shows, for ген3 is rather the rule than the exception. Level from replacement to replacement.

With Your permission, will correct — interesting article about the "auto experts". The broadcaster about the Passat goes with wearing a seat belt BEHIND the driver seat. Are you still interested in his opinion about cars?

To judge the mileage on the gearshift knob, then on my car the mileage should be more than 300000 km, while the mileage of 50,000 km, but the pen dried, because the hand constantly on her habit and comrade on the same car with mileage 145000 km. like new. Machine bought new one year.
As far as I know, is very harmful for the scenes
I have a Honda bought the girl with the mileage 46 000 km., car is like new, and the handles simply no manual transmission) is erased to the ground. Blame three rings on right hand)

Now selling cars, all who arrive do it))
"Well, any "wagawaga" with turbine under the hood is always the oil canister in the trunk" the third CAR with the turbine, never lay a can of topping! Now after IT appeared, but only because it poured in 5.6 l of oil, 400ml, respectively in the trunk)
Here the same trouble.three after each 400 ml. remains in the canister and NO WHERE to GO .so all three in the garage and are as given...a single gram of oil for 4 year not eaten machine.When selling be sure to show the buyer.but do not believe it.having read the horror stories here .

So maybe they drive so carefully that they don't need the turbo engine and DSG?=))) Et my thoughts out loud, without any claim to truth, I do not rummage DSGF finally=)
DSG need to save fuel. Although the dynamics gives a good. About accuracy — on any machine it is necessary to drive carefully and correctly. And even the CVT chain will stretch, and GDT automatic transmission clutches to burn, and the channels to be clogged with debris. I personally work while DSG can't complain.
The gear lever is in the ideal, since the right hand lies on the beautiful foot of my wife, next to the pass.seat!
my friend sold the Passat on the handle with mileage 170 000 km, no damage except for the replacement of a pair of suspension arms...
condition is much better inside than this instance...
I have not carried with me a can of oil, the first time after hearing that all TSI guzzle oil, drove, but then stopped. Almost 90,000 km mileage, and the oil was never refilled. Or after 10000 km or after 15,000 km the oil level has hardly changed.
that you buy this game, the last normal trade winds was produced until 2005-2006, ...
Mechatronics was changed to 30 t. km. is Now 60, i.e. again it is time to change... Ah-ha-ha-ha, that's really really - without Elaeagnus life is dull and bad))
DSG - Deutsche Super so I know. Well, all right now, Vagotomy undermine to protect their super-fast and super saver box... outta here))

So why do so Foltz if you stand in traffic all the time? Why not take the runabout on automatic? Anyway what car? To the tube he was standing on it? There is a subway and public transport is for cities. And to buy a huge sedan with a turbo engine which is paired with a DSG when driving a city-suburbs-intercity shows the power and efficiency paired with comfort. Mostly I hear that DSG breaks down only in traffic. When you left home in the tube, stood there in 2 hours before work, then another 2 hours after work and only once in half a year I left to go to the village to the grandmother. Maybe I do not catch up due to the fact that 15 years of living in the boonies, where even in the rush hour tube tube will not name. Going from the suburbs to the city and a day at 100 km wound always in drive, not stand and smoke in traffic. So, I let the DSG and it's reliability will be even better than automatic transmissions Toyota. Because the onset of my style of gas-brake a couple of Japanese vygrali. Withstood the Germans in the face of Audi with S-tronic, but a simple machine Japanese no. So I'm all for mechanics and tubes in the same Krasnoyarsk mahunka me, well, not annoying.
Why not take the runabout on automatic?
Patsany not understand.
Also dsg7 mileage 105000, recently the warranty is over, when checked no problems found
840 thousand, and even after bargaining, for the misunderstanding with crap interior? Hmmm... and it buys someone.
No, agree to the "not immediately" I have 4 straight from the factory eating oil 1 liter 15 thousand km i.e. replace before the replacement and is the norm. The motor is a 1.8 turbo (120 HP) if type wait, soon everything will be? ;) no, the mileage is nearing 150K miles and dviglo changed the circuit on the run 80-85 and oil separator.
Properly, the truth is the oil vahovskiy motor begins to eat immediately, but depending on model, motor and mileage.
That's all well and good, but I remembered that I have in the trunk is liter canister residue in 500ml of oil. But not because I made up, but because I bought this thing to replace oil 4L + 1l and the engine went 4.5 =/
(Oh, and any "wagawaga" with turbine under the hood is always a canister of oil)
Sorry, but there do not agree with you. And what's with the surprise that the engine is dry regardless of what is VAG? So you can say about many cars, BMW, Renault, Citroen, Wads, find at least one b/Padzherik Arab Assembly which did not flow b from under the valve covers. What a biased opinion about VAG?
alex-vtec
that VW remained reliable? Climb in the box every 30 000...
DSG-7 problem compared to the DSG-6
for such a run and such "nuances" it's hard. The box was changed to 30 and expect another swap?-) seat, steering wheel, handle — Achtung. And all this only from the outside, so to speak, and photo.
This German quality?!

I thought in my steering wheel and gearshift knob were done to 60 thousand, and then quite shabby...
Just the owner is a slob, does not wash his hands.
