I just purchased my first VW a 2014 Passat TDI SE and was looking through some VW blogs and they talk about B5 or B6 or B7 versions. What do I have?
It was built and sold in USA.
Do I also need to know the type of engine I have? It is 2.0 TDI, but is there some other designation I need?
I'm looking for some aftermarket door sill protectors and all the ones I've seen come from China. Any experience with these?
Lots of questions, Sorry.

Ahhhhh! It's not B7. It is NMS. The Euopean B7 while looking very similar shares almost nothing with the North American/Chinese NMS Passat. Some good details in here, specifically Post 8 and the link to MyTurboDiesel.

You did provide the correct link @ TDI Club for the 2012+ Passat, though. Lots of great infor all over TDI Club.

For door sill plates, there are some threads about them in the Passat area. The $25 ones from China through Ebay are okay, and dealer ones can be had for about $115.

Welcome!
