How many DPF did you go threw? That's insane the car have that high mileage and survive.

 

[Lex Tdi]

im guessing zero... probably deleted, that is what mine is though i have a mere 220,000 miles on my 2013 passat se. They really are great cars if you delete and tune.

 

[d2freeman]

Nope, completely stock, Changed the DPF @ 300k miles not because it was clogged but because I had the time during the lock down to change it.
I had bought a complete exhaust from someone who deleted theirs right after they bought it, dpt had 3k miles on it.
Still on the original HPFP as well, but I do have both 2micron kits installed.

The only reason I ask is my ash load content is at 43g out of 70g at 103k Miles, with it being calculated to max out around 163ish K miles.

 

[d2freeman]

My oil ash load was 99.2g with 300k miles which is 0.00033g / mile and that figure pretty much held true since I first started recording the oil ash load @ 40K. Mine was 33g @ 100k miles and my mileage is 85% highway.

 

[Lex Tdi]

I'm impressed! Love hearing a good story every once in awhile...

 

[740GLE]

How ironic that this thread came back. The last 2022 NMS rolled off the TN line earlier this week.

Impressive run of 10 years of pretty much the exact same chassis

I do not have a 2012+ Passat TDI but contemplating getting one. So getting the DPF max out at around 170K miles is expected in these vehicles if you drive, let's say, around 75% highway? I realize what I am asking is dependent on several variables so I do not expect precise answers either

New Birthday party: 210,894.

I had to re-secure the passenger side mirror. I used a few quarter size drops of E6000, taped it up and kept it in the garage for a week to set the glue in the sub-50 deg climate. Hopefully the glue has cured.

Also, I broke part number 02E 321.363B "over-torqing" it when attempting to reinstall. If you have a high mileage Passat, do your own transmission oil changes, and haven't already done so; buy one of these for a shelf spare. Trust me, you don't want to have an empty transmission and a broken transmission pan oil pipe, contemplating a top fill in near freezing weather. The plastic gets brittle over time, and the retaining flange will separate itself from the tube.

 

[06bluebeetletdi]

125,400 for my ‘14
It was around 121,500 on it’s 9th birthday back in October as i finished the oil filter housing and thermostat replacement (no fun doing that twice when the 1st thermostat was stuck wide open)

 

[740GLE]

dsg standpipe broke on over torque? i've always just put those in using a socket and extension finger tight never a ratchet on it.

Hit 92K this past week. Miles/yr will drop the wife is now commuting about 15 miles/day vs 55 miles of her old position, great for fuel savings at 4.70 a gallon which seems like a barging now a days.

 

[Dalon]

Born 01/2013 - 29950 miles

[740GLE]

[jw4free]

Sweet, it’s a museum piece! At under 30k miles.
