14,000 + miles. March 2013 build. Never hear the turbo. I stay under 2000 rpm until warm. Dealer serviced. Love this car. 2nd diesel. Cold weather starting and driving makes the '02 Jetta seem like an antique.
I wonder how much the KESSEY system differs? My '13 Passat SEL turns over first time, every time, minimal starter engagement. Only variable is the length of the glow plug cycle. Dramatic difference from the '02 Jetta with multi glow plug cycles and extended cranking. I know there are many...
I too got to try my Passat in the snow and ice this weekend. I think it performed very well. I have a SEL with the stock wheels and Continental tires. The DSG did fine pacing and coasting in the slush.
Installed FW 4366 on first try with no issues with clock in 12 hour mode. Saw similar "improvements" after update as noted in earlier threads. Still running maps 7994, look to change to 7963 this weekend.
Hello All,
I have been "trolling" this site for advice ever since I bought my 2002 Jetta used in 2009. The addition of 2013 Passat lead me to becoming a member. Thank you for all the anonymous information you have already provided.
