2008 Volkswagen Passat Owner Comments

problem #1

Passat LUX 2.Ot Tsi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 155,000 miles

The car sounds great and drives perfectly. Around town and on the highway the throttle and transmission are tuned to give power on demand and reasonable fuel economy. After an hour of stop and run commuter traffic I get to my neighborhood, going 25 and the alarm sounds! I am 2 minutes from home barely 1500 rpm.

The alarm has sounded twice before. I brought it in for an oil change immediately and right after the alarm sounded again. They could find nothing wrong. Brought it to a specialist who warned of low oil pressure but didn't think it was pump. Blamed TSI engine.
