2014 SEL bought on 3/14, about 23k. And I've been flying for work a few weeks (how I miss my TDi when I have to drive a rental!)

6500 miles on my 2014 SE since last July. My baby is tucked away in the garage until God sees fit to clean the roads of salt and raise the temp above 10F. No issues. Love the car!

2012 TDI SE, purchased in Novemebr 2011, i've done every servicee myself since 30k including the 40k, and just did my oil and tire rotation today at 69,139.

No repairs yet, but i baby it, presoak oil filters before installation, syringe out the excess oil in the filter housing, plus i installed a Frost Heater and plug it in any time the temp is going to be below 40F.

I purchased my 2014 SEL in August and have 18,250 miles on it so far. No major issues and love the diesel’s torque and drivability.

Just turned 57k trouble free miles. Normal maintenance and had to reset the NOx codes once (not returned). Still very happy with our Vdub.

Just crossed 44000 miles
Dealer did 10,20 and 30 k service I did the 40k service and DSG
Dealer replaced a left rear passenger window seal early on due to wind noise. Right side now making hissing noise. No other issue to date.

62K miles on my '12, within the last 10K miles I have had to replace the exhaust valve ($635) and NOx sensor ($535). Starting at about 14K miles I started having clutch 'chatter' on high humidity days and at about 24K miles, I started having the cold temp clutch 'click'.

Somewhere around 34k miles on a '13 purchased in August 2013. Only problem has been the frozen driver door latch at around 12k, no problems with it since the fix.

Absolutely love the car so far, all maintenance done free by dealer, recall on ECM done as well.

2012 Passat Tdi 128.000 kilometers 90 percent is highway. I'm about to do the timing belt change.

Issues
-nox sensor at 98.000k(warranty covered)
-exaust flap at 124.000k($600)
-squeeky driver seat(not fixed but used to it now)
-doors freeze open if i use carwash below -10ish

Some re call letter came in last week about software update to fix turbo failure in cold weather. I will deal with that when I get timing belt changed.

All in all I like it because of mileage but its not the greatest winter car. But for the ruff winter days I use my Lincoln MKX but thats a beast on Gas.
