We just took in our 2015 Passat SEL TDI for it's 10k service. The adblue light came on indicating 600 miles before "no start". We were withing 5 miles of the dealer at 10326 on the odo. We got this car last May, NOS, so it's had the 1st fix. Our 2013 Passat SE TDI never had the low adblue light come on at about 10K so I guess the 15 is using a bit more DEF but still good for 10K.
We love the new car as much as the old one, no issues except the battery died within a few months of delivery. VW Care gave us a tow, new battery and a $100 gift card for our trouble. Fuel usage seems similar to the 13, perhaps a bit lower in the winter.
