Here we go again... Warning lights Engine management

After owning a Tiguan Escape from new in 2010 until December 2015 when we exchanged it for our new Passat Alltrack, we know something about diesel engine gumming up injection systems having had five yes five new Flap Valves fitted which failed every 6-7 months each one after about 4000 miles.

Progress Report Alltrack B8

Three months and 1700 delightful miles in our latest VW Passat B8 Alltrack. No issues, other than being a little wary before going off road, something we didn't think about unduly with our former Tiguan Escape approach and departue angles. The Passat Alltrack is well equipped and sure footed spreadi...
