I agree. Although I got used to the close pedals on the Passat. At first it was weird

Obviously yours didn’t get redone during the recall. I have a 2014 Jetta sport wagon TDI with an automatic. I have been using Marvel Mystery Oil as an additive to the fuel. The computer on the car reads anywhere from 34-40 mpg. When I check it according to the amount of fuel I put in it, it is usually 36 mpg fairly consistently. Most got 55-65 mpg before the recall but since it was smoking the competition on mpg they complained and the EPA said VW had altered the emissions and made VW do a nation wide recall of all VW diesels. My brother bought a 2012 Passat and it is powerless compared to my 2014 Jetta. But I do know that both were part of the recall. As for doing away with the egr, there are companies in Canada that offer the parts needed and there are many youtube videos on the topic, both for and against. Kerma, Malone and Rawtek are 3 that come to mind. Kerma offers a tuner that doesn’t require any exhaust changes. It is around $800.

Thats some serious mpg congrats

bought my 2014 at 67K and now at 104000 had to replace dpf once other then that no issues - abs light and esc

Push forward on the wiper stalk once for intermittent. Push forward to next selection for full on Push and hold forward further for wash

@@DasMoose9001 My son and I went thru all the fuses today all good. Only had car about 2 weeks , thanks for information. fuse is good and tried to push towards windshield but no movement.

@@Richard5873 Sounds like you may have a bad rear wiper motor. Good luck getting it all figured out quickly and with little stress.

@@DasMoose9001 Thanks for help. I have a knocking noise in front left over certain bumps. Any ideas on the 2013 Jetta 2.0 Diesel Wolfsburg Edition any common issue up front ?

@@Richard5873 If I were to make a blind guess I would say lower ball joint and/or control arm bushing(s) would be the first thing I would look at, could also be a bad strut but I imagine you would have mentioned if it "floated" on that corner. The only common issue I have had up front is finding the right damn sized spline drive socket to change the CV shaft. The OE outter tie rods aren't a fan of large pot holes, don't recall what I've got in there now, I spent a little more on them.

Yes they do! but they're more rare than the auto transmissions. There were also less sportwagens to my knowledge without the panoramic moon roof which I prefer.

@@drakekennedy2353 a sunroof?

@@marvinthemaniac7698 on the sportwagens it's called a panoramic moonroof or sunroof. but they can tend to leak and if you live in a place with large hail, that would be a problem.

@@drakekennedy2353 gotcha

depends. they can be good vehicles, though from what i’ve found, both the timing belt and fuel pumps tend to go bad. worst issue is the emission system. you can get it taken off & tuned and that’ll solve the issue but it’s expensive, and it’s hard to find shops willing to do it (in the US)

With proper preventative maintenance they can easily go 450,000mi/724,205km. I only run Pentosin lube oils & Liqui-Moli additives, I use Hotshot's Secret fuel additives and change my filters on a regular basis, I'm currently at 275k miles, purchased with 138k and it still has great power and no issues. I'm only looking for another because I want the Pano-Roof, 6-speed manual wagon TDI, I have a 2011 Golf DSG Base that is getting sold to a friend soon as I get the car I want.

@@DasMoose9001 might wanna re think getting a pano... massive problems

⁠@@DasMoose9001I have a 2011 TDI manual wagon with the Pano sunroof. Phenomenal vehicle. As @peterdaniel66 mentioned, there can be issues with the sunroofs. The rear drainage tubes on mine became blocked. Luckily, this happened under warranty and Volkswagen fixed it. I’ve had no issues with the sunroof since then.
