VW Passat Reliability

The VW Passat is not as forgiving on poor maintenance as some of its Japanese rivals. The DSG gearbox has elaborate maintenance procedures and it should only be serviced by a qualified technician. It also requires a very specific transmission fluid with dedicated additives. Anything short of proper maintenance is catastrophic.
