Passat B8

[Ryansg]

Hi guys?

 

The Passat comes with the Blackvue 2ch/ 590 .

Like to know any feedback from you guys on this recorder ?

Considering yo use my current one or take the VW Blackburn 590 set.

 

Tks for feedback,

I opted to install the 2CH BV650.

What's your current set btw?

[VinLSS]

Yes, but not unusually wet.

 

11km+/l, with the usual morning school traffic crawl, probably suggest that I'm not that heavy footed. Maybe just heavy only... ð

 

I've yet to experience those multi-gear spin scenario like you. Not sure if want to try at all. Have driven milder turbo cars but hardly go all out to push them to their limits.

Both tyres equally good on noise though.

 

However, for the car roof itself, I feel that the rain splatter sounds seem to be rather loud. Not sure if there's any sound proofing for this.

Hi Ryansg,

You're right about the rain splatter sound. When it rains heavily, can't have a decent conversation. Otherwise on a fine weather day, cabin is still relatively quiet.

I went for iRoad X9 with front and rear camera with an external battery unit. View is sharp and comes with lane departure warning, front collision warning and traffic light move off alert function.

Decided to use the blackvue 590.

My current set ftom Morbella has wifi connectivity to the phone.

Hi bdo,

Yup installed it a couple of weeks ago. Original camera with emblem logo and linked up to headunit. Enhanced reverse lookout. So far so good.

Hi VinLSS,

Tks for feedback.

Could u PM the contact for the installer ?

Tks

Hi Passat B8 owners (esp 1.8 TSI 280 Comfortline)

 

Can anyone share experience about this new engine/gen. Is this better than infamous B7 problems? As I am considering

I'm a bit confuse here.

 

I know the

1.8L 180bhp model is the 330

2.0L 220bhp model is the 380

 

Yes. on the road i saw some B8 passat with the 280 at the rear.

I know 280 is VW 1.4L 150bhp model.

 

SO the Passat B8 with 280 at the rear is 1.4 or 1.8L? And its not listed in VW centre model list or price etc.

 

Can advise?

 

Thank you.

The 1.8TSI which is powering the Trendline and Comfortline has 180PS and 250Nm@1250rpm - 5000rpm with the combined fuel efficiency of 5.7l/100km.

The number is derived from the engine peak torque plus 30.

 

The 1.8L peak torque is 250nm, so the number is 280

The 2.0L peak torque is 350nm, so the number is 380

Mmmm..

 

Then explain the number 330 on the 1.8L?

[Lotr]

Mmmm..

330 means the torque is 300. I only know the 1.8L Passat is 250Nm.

[Cochran]

Ya. The 1.8L Passat is 250Nm. But stick with 330.

 

It is possible those Passat with 280 is those with 1.4L 150ps 250Nm engine? Which is not listed in VWC.

Not sure if the B8 comes in 1.4L engines.

In SG, thought only 1.8 and 2.0 petrol engines. Even diesel are not in our options.

New to owning a VW before I've gotten my B8 CL, so can't comment and compare on B7 engine performance. My past 7 months with the car has been good and responsive. Haven't faced any judder or loss of power. Just like how any new car should behave.

 

The enhancement done for the mechatronic unit should have covered for B8s. Whether or not it is the solution to all the problems faced, it'll probably take more concrete feedback to round things up. Salespersons at VW are probably not the best source.

 

Do share if anyone here knows anyone (directly) who has had this problem on their B8, and what VW offered as a remedy.

ok.

My sticker says 280. And it's a 1.8L.

Yes, there are some 1.4L registered in 2017. But not sure if it is B8 or not.

 

Are you looking for 1.4 version?

 

Anyway the dealer has phased it out.

 

Should be able to find online reviews for more info.

Not looking for the 1.4L. My dad had the 1.8L comfortline and stick with 330.

 

Just want to know what’s the spec for the Passat B8 with 280 at the rear.
