After 46,000 miles over 33 months driving my 2012 Passat SE, the jig was up, and due to service deficiencies, such as the 80K service and tire wear, it was time to make that buy back appointment... So much for holding out until the fall....
Last week I put into service a very clean 2015 Passat SEL, with 19,000 miles. For the first time I was able to take it on a 600 mile trip yesterday.
This car had the phase 1 sticker under the hood.
What happened to the torque?. At highway speeds, the gas pedal doesn't seem to work as good! I thought this EA288 TDI was supposed to have more power and torque. Sure doesn't seem that way to me!
Did the phase one emission mods, kill these promises?
Anybody out there have a similar experience?
Do I need to look at a Malone or Kermit tune for this car, and is that a good idea?
