Hey all,
Just bought another TDI, an Automatic 2014 Passat (my 4th TDI - 2 different mk4s and a mk6, all jettas). This one however, is from the original owner, serviced at a dealership, but has 218k miles. It’s a great deal, which is why I bought it, but what should I look out for soon? I assume timing belt 240k since it should be replaced at 120k, but other than that, I’m seeing a lot of different answers as what to see above 200k miles.
He also put the fear of god into me when he mentioned he was looking at buying a disaster prevention kit for the HPFP, which I know is a high dollar fix if it fails. Should I buy one to his advice?
I’m planning on all fluids, tires and alignment, and happy to be back in the TDI Owners Club.
Thanks in advance!
