Is the 2014 Passat TDI reliable?
As a whole, consumers found the vehicle’s reliability and comfort to be its strongest features. Value was considered to be its weakest feature, earning 4. Passat five out of five stars. Overall, the volkswagen passat is an excellent vehicle with several quality choices on the market. We recommend picking out 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, or 2021 designs for the best results.The 2. Liter TDI engine is driven by a timing belt system that links the cylinder head, camshaft, and crankshaft to run in sync. This VW Passat timing belt system consists of a wear-resistant, high strength, corded/molded rubber timing belt (a. VW Passat toothed belt).Both new Volkswagen sedans are powered by turbocharged TSI® 4-cylinder engines. The VW Passat has a higher engine displacement of 2. VW Jetta, which has lower performance outputs of 158 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.But one new thing that is different about the Passat TDI is that for emissions purposes it requires the use of a diesel exhaust fluid additive (DEF). Volkswagen uses DEF (it’s called AdBlue, a brand name, in the owner’s manual) to help the larger, heavier Passat meet emission requirements.
