Mine does 60mpg but it's the 2L diesel version
B8 variant get wind noise at about 190kph
Get rid of the DPF you'll be flying. Dummy box.
The Pads slide straight out once you remove the clips and pin. New slide right in.. no need for the 12 mm ratchet at all!
5 mins max, both calipers. Only tool is needle nose pliers.. mine is a '23 XSR900 look like the identical Radial mount caliper.. Enjoy.
I’d like to see you push the pistons back. You might have to explain how you slide new pads in without pushing the piston back to gain space for the extra material. Im assuming your way is prying the pad back in place with a screwdriver I’d like to see you doing that without damaging the disc.
Really good walk-through video. The MPGs is a turn-off for me. Like my wife's 230hp BMW 520d (remapped ofc) does 55MPG on long motorway spins and 43-45 MPG on shorter town driving. Likely the only benefit to the twin turbo Passat is the low-end torque, but up top they're similarly matched (unless you remap the Passat as Alex has!).
What ridiculous unfounded comments. Can’t even speak properly. Idiot!
When you pulled the clips off, your hand was in the way, so no one can see what you grabbed or where you grabbed it. Very helpful 👍
Where could I get the spoiler from?
Maxton design. 2 choices of front lips and rear diffusers
Quite a misleading title of the video, I expected you will be talking about the BiTDI engine.
Passat is similar to a 3 series, not a 5.
300HP and you want what? 5l/100km?
I love the brilliant on long runs just a brilliant car
Wind what wind noise
I have a b8 66 plate gt on a run 65 mpg local 35
I have a b8 GT too. Longest iv kep a car at5 years because I love it. Struggling to find anything I like as much to replace it.
Wind noise? Not on my B8 there isn't. MPG? Not predictable on a remapped car. See your remap guy, not a fault on the car. No screen freeze on mine and I am in Scotland. No more paint chips on mine than other cars I have owned. If I broke a switch I'd expect a sharp edge and a cost to repair. Common sense really.
The camera man needs to show us the bits of the car, he stays on one angle far too long while you’re talking about the different bits on the car. But good video otherwise
Recently bought one of these, although a 150bhp tdi SE business. Previous car was a e91 320d SE. I feel the quality is better in the passat than that of a 3 series G20, at least in the SE trim
Do you think it more comparable to a 5 series? I sat in the back of it today and the thing is huge.
Common on the mk4 caddys too It's actually the mirrors lol
Take the wind deflector off
Love that it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing it’s on a par with Audi7
Pirelli P-0
Gear box map & what else? You mentioned another type of mapping …sorry for my ignorance!
Got the 150HP 2.0 TDI Highline with the semi panoramic roof and Dynaudio sound. To me, the B8 is an awesome car for the money. I've insulated all door interiors and bonnet with STP NoiseBlock and paired with a set of Dunlop Asymetric 6 tyres, It's awesome on long drives. Of course it's not a 5 series or a Audi A7, but it's the closest you can get to premium, without paying the big price. Yes, the standard audio system is a complete rubbish compared to the standard audio on the old B6 model but on the other hand, the 2017 engine is miles better, runs so smooth.
1. Still not too bad for mine, you can improve on the seal 2. Add some ppf. Yes mine has got some chips and yes i think it is rather thin paint 3. It is excellent for my 2.0tsi, especially for the power, yours is remapped hence unfair comparison. But in traffic, my FC is quite bad 4. Unfair to compare with g30, nearly double the price in my country. 5. Some button could be better built yes.. no screen freeze on my 8” screen, outside temperature range 24c to 39c
Why did you buy it? Lol. Couldnt be flagship model youve old speedometer its not digital etc. My 17 passat does 4.2ltr/100khm not bad 2.o 150TDI . You right about paint work
None of the above has happened to my motor. And remapping your car is your fault. I think you may have the dodgy car that every so often comes off the production line.
The first mistake is here... you can't compare bmw with vw, not because of the price range... and what is the price range?? material quality and modern equipment, which is why bmw is one time more expensive than vw!
It has been a year already and it's not relevant for you probably, but I do have a solution for your touch screen freeze. Go to a vw dealer and ask them to update your unit firmware to the latest version, that will solve it ,if not, there are free ways online to do it yourself(much more involved ) That should do the trick.
Amazing advice that basically told them to go to VW to get it fixed, never thought of that one genius
@@ethanpunto9222 The man complained about a problem that can be solved, and i presented him with the fact that is solvable via an update, that he can do it himself with a bit of google and some tools and/or that he can get that at vw, who if you don't have problems with you media unit and dont ask for it specifically, wont offer to update you media unit by default. I have no issues with you basically calling me stupid, but what did you bring to this conversation, other than a childish attitude ? Hope you are nicer in person that online, cheers.
That rear difusor could have been an easy fix...just use some rubber part in beetween and screw it in the middle to the bumper. Problem solved...
2015 r doesn't have modes...how to launch?
Manual or automatic? You don’t have driving style modes?
great instructional video without the bullshit. 🙏🏻
Thanks for this really useful
I don't know what you're talking about here. I have a passat b8 2.0 (from 2015) and: 1. I have no wind noise 2. Only a few stone chips on the part under the bumper 3. Fuel consumption is excellent 4. I like the interior, it's not a space shuttle interior, but it's decent with classy horizontal lines 5. Never had a problem with the stereo or window switches
You have a bitdi also?
@@Heavydutyy No, just TDI.
@@Heavydutyy it is caused by the wind deflectors, because of which the window does not close completely.
I have this car with 2.0 TDI 190 ps R Line and I like it a lot. The only downside is the paint... Not only is it thin, but lacks in durability as well. I have to check the car whenever possible and look for bird poops to prevent them from drying in the sun as they almost immediately damage the painting...
Great camera work lol🤭
It would be better if the camera "person" focused on the car centre shot and not the guy speaking.
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻
i own a 2019 TSI ex australian cop car, same as that, same color. she absolutley boogies in sport mode, eco and comfort mode except when i want to have a play.
Hey, Lovely car. Is it on lowering springs or coilovers? How would you rate the comfort level of the drive compared to the stock springs? Have the same car but wouldnt want the ride to be too harsh if I were to lower it. Mine is on the stock 18" alloys at the moment. Thanks!
So 40mm eibach pro springs on best way to describe it in dcc form comfort =normal normal=sport sport=sporty I’m back on stock 18s for the winter and is noticeably more comfortable than the 19 but you do feel less feel back compared to 19s hope that helps
@@procarshow5466 would you recommend 40mm eibachs on stock 17's? I could only afford an SE!
@@EdtheGardener 40mm lowering springs would be fine you won’t sacrifice much comfort. If you ever increase alloy size to 19 you will get a lot more road feel back also. Would also look the bee’s knee’s 👍🏻
@@procarshow5466 thanks!
FUSSY FU...R BUY A BMW AND SIT AT THE SIDE OF THE MOTORWAY WHILE THE VW PASSATS PASS BYE!!!!! AND GET HOME LOL
I’m trying to instal the caliper back on but the bolt hole is about 1/2” in and is not aligning to the bolt holes mounted to the fork.
The wind noise is because It’s factory bug, the window is not in place correctly. Need to get access to window and replace it right.
VW Passat ~nice car really very good
A Passat is not even remotely in the same class as 5 series, it's honestly not even in the class with 3 series: it's a VW, not an Audi. Not really sure why this bothers you, let alone the MPG that you're getting in a 300hp / 600nm car. You want high performance combined with great MPG: get an electric car then.
It is definitely in the same class as Mercedes-Benz C Klasse
What rims are those?
Strange video and very contradicting. I have always been against VW's, but this seams to be non-sense 1. Remove the wind deflectors, as they are noisy on any car. 2. Stone chips are common on all cars (more or less), but it also depends on what kind of roads the car is driven 3. Complain about fuel economy and saying the car is chipped. The only one to blame here is you or maybe the company that has done the work, but only if the claimed it will lower the consumption. 4. Comparing the interior to newer car and car that is in another segment/level. I can also say it is not comparable to Rolls Royce, but also the money you pay aren't. Compare at least to F10, and not G30 as in the video. 5. I believe the screen is defective (hardware or software I can not say), and for the broken window switch well it is broken it will be sharp. Plus the cost of the part is ok-ish. the same part for Mondeo that is 5-10 years older costs more. Plus terrible sound. Not sure what "Pro" stands for in the channel name, but for sure it is far from professional. I do not have youtube channel and almost never comment on videos, but this video have almost 16K views and the channel only 46 subscribers. That is saying a lot about the quality of the vide. Please do not get me wrong. I do not intend to offend you. But you can also notice that most of the comments are pointing to more or less the same things. If that was you goal then fine, but I hope that you have much better plans for the future of your channel

Windows sounds is from your wind deflector plastic thing take them all off
Audi a6 c7 black edition 3.0 272bhp so much better. Remap 325bhp. Exhaust 375bhp beautiful. Got the b6 passat had the 1.6 new passat shit shocking body roll.
Nice figures. I’d have thought you would have had more body roll in the a6 than the Passat as the a6 is the heavier out the two. Body roll was minimal on my estate damn near nothing now. Can get the back end out and it’s even half predictable lowering springs and front adjustable drop links backs firm enough.
ive got the 2019 tsi, mine doesnt have body roll issues
Not hating but was looking at bitdi, but got the audi a6 3.0 black edition 272bhp tdi much better brothers. Then had a remap to 330bhp super performance beautiful. Some guy got the newer A6 50 tdi got 360 on a map.
Nice one lovely cars I must say, a lot of money when you compare to the Vw bitdi but on the other hand a Audi would be a more pleasant place to be 👍🏻
Motorway with speed 75mph after 400 miles mine showing always 54+ mpg. City yes its go to 24mpg.
Why don't you get a Toyota Camry 2.5l D4-S Hybrid E-CVT, it is more efficient than TDI.
@@dragospahontu have you actually driven a CVT...
But is it a BiTDI or a 1.6?
@@sssssneaker e-cvt is much more efficient
What tyres size is? 235/40?
Yes 235/40/19
