Cars of this model are designed to radiate charm and give driving pleasure. Photo Volkswagen Passat CC in the new body reflects the emotional design, the characteristic details of which are the sloping roof, the laconic radiator grille, the elegant shape of the optical elements. Thanks to the lifting panoramic sunroof, passengers have the opportunity to enjoy wonderful views.
Specifications these vehicles are largely determined high quality their power units - diesel and gasoline engines that meet the requirements environmental standard Euro 6. The layout with them can be DSG transmission providing smooth switching gears without power interruptions. Combination design advantages manual and automatic transmissions guarantee exceptional fuel efficiency.
Motorists who decide to buy a Volkswagen Passat SS in Moscow from official dealer Major Auto, are able to evaluate optimal configuration. In connection with the termination Volkswagen sales Passat CC in Russia, orders for new cars are not accepted. You can find offers for a used Volkswagen Passat CC in the "Used cars" section.
The Volkswagen Passat SS is based on the VW Passat B6 and has been assembled in the German city of Emden since 2008. Until August 2010, part of the Passat CC for the Russian market was assembled in Kaluga. The prefix SS stands for Comfort Coupe. Appearance Passat CC is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent, it is so harmonious and cannot be repeated. SS looks much more expensive than it actually costs. In 2011, a new version of the Passat SS was released, which, in fact, was a restyling, in order to bring appearance to the general corporate style.
How is it with reliability? Having received common platform And technical filling from the Passat B6, the SS acquired the same problems. But first things first.
Volkswagen Passat SS received a wide range of power units: 4-cylinder petrol turbo engines 1.8 TSI (152 hp) and 2.0 TSI (200 hp and 210 hp after restyling), atmospheric V-shaped gasoline "six" with a working volume of 3.6 liters (300 hp). s.) and a 4-cylinder turbodiesel 2.0 TDI (140 hp and 170 hp after restyling).
The most common 1.8 TSI engine is generally reliable. The turbocharger is hardy and has a good resource reserve. But increased consumption oil (up to 1 liter per 2-3 thousand km) is a common "disease" that affects up to 60% of cars after 50-80 thousand km. "Oil burner" affects all models of the concern with this engine, incl. and Skoda. Volkswagen recently released a repair kit that includes upgraded pistons and rings. In the event that owners complain about increased oil consumption, dealers make a control measurement of oil consumption. When the “illness” is confirmed, official services replace the piston: during the warranty period - free of charge, if the warranty is over, then only at the expense of the owner. On cars that left the assembly line after restyling and underwent a “overhaul”, the problem of “oil burner” occurs less frequently.
Another nuisance that can take you by surprise and make you seriously fork out is the jump of the timing chain with a run of more than 70-100 thousand km. The culprit is the chain breaker. After April 2011, the damper was improved and the problem did not reoccur.

2.0 TSI is structurally similar to the younger 1.8 TSI, but it is considered more reliable. He is devoid of the sores described above. 3.6 FSI was also not seen in the list of possible problems.
On diesel 2.0 TDI 140 hp with a run of more than 50-100 thousand km, the flywheel may rattle. In an unofficial service, you will have to pay about 25 thousand rubles for a new flywheel and about 8 thousand rubles more for work. At dealers, replacing the flywheel will cost significantly more.
Many owners note relatively loud work fuel pump. Some manage to get the replacement of the “humming” pump under warranty, after which the long-awaited silence sets in. Also, sometimes there are problems in the cooling system associated with leakage of the pump, pipes or radiator.
All power units, with the exception of the V6 3.6, can be combined with a 6-speed mechanical box gears. "Mechanics" is generally reliable. Some owners note the lack of clarity of gear shifting due to the excessively long travel of the clutch pedal, grabbing at the very bottom. Bearing noise occurs input shaft boxes.

The most widespread and the number of complaints was preselective automatic transmission DSG gear 7 with double dry clutch, compatible exclusively with the 1.8 TSI engine. Claims, as a rule, appeared at a run of more than 20-40 thousand km due to jerking in traffic jams when switching from first to second and back, vibrations at the time of start and during acceleration in 2nd gear. Dealers replaced the clutch, but this did not guarantee complete elimination Problems. Soon the vibrations could reappear. Then it was the turn to replace the mechatronics with a run of more than 50-90 thousand km. In rare cases, services resorted to replacing the box. For comparison: cost new box about 300 thousand rubles, mechatronics - about 90 thousand rubles, clutches - about 20 thousand rubles, and replacement work - 10-15 thousand rubles. More often, problems manifested themselves on the Volkswagen Passat SS, operated mainly in urban traffic jams. It is generally accepted that the transfer of the box to the "manual" or "sports" mode when it gets into a protracted traffic jam avoids possible faults. It is gratifying that the problem is not universal and affected no more than a third of the cars. Meanwhile, Volkswagen continued to search for ways to treat the disease: it produced new version ECU firmware of the box and upgraded the clutch and the box itself. But the "antidote" has not yet been found. Having made concessions, in the face of the pressure of numerous complaints, the manufacturer extended the term warranty service DSG 7 up to 5 years or 150 thousand km.
Robotic DSG 6 with wet clutch was installed in tandem with diesel, V6 3.6 l, and after mid-2010 and 2.0 TSI. This transmission is considered more reliable, but cases of the need to replace the clutch have been recorded here as well.
Classic 6-speed automatic Aisin gear until mid-2010, it was used only with a gasoline 2-liter TSI. The weak point of the box is the hydraulic valve block, which caused shocks when shifting gears with a run of more than 70-120 thousand km. The cost of a new block is about 50-60 thousand rubles, repairs - about 20-25 thousand rubles.
All-wheel drive Volkswagen versions Passat CCs are equipped with a Haldex clutch. No problems were noted with her.

Passat SS suspension is relatively strong. With the advent of frost, many note the appearance of squeaks and knocks in the suspension when driving through bumps. On cars assembled in 2011, they often begin to crunch thrust bearings front struts with a run of more than 10-20 thousand km. The source of knocks from behind often often become brake calipers.
quality claims paintwork usually does not occur. In rare cases, over time, scuffs may appear inside the doorways at the point of contact with the seals. Plastic lining at the bottom rear window above the trunk lid sometimes bursts. Gradually becomes cloudy chrome on the outer decorative inserts. If earlier dealers, upon receipt of complaints, replaced the darkened element, now similar cases are not covered under warranty until the chrome begins to bulge (very rare). Often found to be missing rear bumper(400-800 rubles from dealers). Many note fogging of the headlights and the appearance of insects in the front and rear optics(cases are not guaranteed).
In winter, the gas tank hatch often freezes. You can open it after warming up the car in a heated parking lot. And as a prevention of freezing, it is necessary to treat the lock with a special water-repellent lubricant. Another one winter problem- freezing of glasses, because of which they do not drop down, and the doors do not open. Some owners inadvertently pull the door and turn out the seal. To eliminate problems after washing in cold weather, it is necessary to thoroughly blow compressed air seals and process them special composition. The manufacturer does not recommend the use of silicone-based lubricants for this. With the advent of winter, delays appear in the electric drive for folding / unfolding mirrors - the response time reaches 10-20 seconds !!! There are cases of burnout heating element windshield heating (warranty case).
The plastic of the interior with the advent of cold weather can creak until the interior warms up. The creaking panorama also contributes to the frost. Knocks and creaks when driving through bumps can be caused by loose door locks, usually the front ones. To fix, you need to adjust the lock. There is also a less expensive "collective farm" method - wrapping the lock brackets with electrical tape. Metallic squeaks or clicks in the heat in the area of the rear trunk shelf are caused by the movement of metal body panels in places welds. The solution of the problem by the manufacturer is reduced to mechanical impact on free panels for the purpose of unloading. Simply put, with a screwdriver, increase the gap between the body elements in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear shelf and lubricate the places where they come into contact with each other.

It is not uncommon for condensation to accumulate in the trunk lid and in the space between the roof and the headlining. There are leaks through the windshield seal.
Some owners complain about the appearance of scuffs on the side support of the driver's seat with leather upholstery with a run of more than 20-40 thousand km. There are also complaints from owners with fabric seats.
The "Volkswagen" winter creak of the heater fan is also found on the Volkswagen Passat SS.
Volkswagen electrics can traditionally "make themselves felt". For example, the spontaneous opening of doors, the opening of one of the side windows, the movement of an electric seat during a trip. In winter, the image is distorted by the rear view camera. It is reassuring that such cases are not permanent and are of a “point” nature. Those. having appeared once, it is unlikely to repeat again soon.
If the emblem covering the rear view camera does not open, there is no image from the camera, the trunk lid opens or closes spontaneously, the lights do not turn on reversing or trunk lighting, which means that the harness connecting the power consumers of the trunk lid to the body has frayed. The cost of a new harness is about 1.5-2 thousand rubles. There are also problems with the glass closer control unit.
Statistics show that in reality with serious problems such as DSG box, faced by no more than 30-40% of the owners. The figure is certainly high, but far from sky-high. "Oil burner" in most cases is "not fatal", and cases of chain jumping are rare. Other faults are even less common. Do not be afraid of the Volkswagen Passat CC. The car will give you a lot of pleasant impressions. In addition, Volkswagen is trying to eliminate all design flaws in a timely manner. But unscrupulous dealers often hinder good intentions themselves by refusing to warranty repair, and further undermining the reputation of the automaker.
The most authoritative independent European agency in the field automotive safety drove the German coupe sedan through a series of rigorous crash tests to assess the strength of the car and the operation of its security systems from all sides. As a result german model Received the highest rating of five stars. The car showed the following categories: driver or adult passenger - 85%, child passenger - 87%, pedestrian - 66%, safety devices - 76%. It showed the highest level of protection for child passengers (87%) in the history of independent crash tests according to Euro NCAP!
Volkswagen Passat SS was created for real automotive gourmets, for whom not only driving performance, comfort and safety of the car, but also its appearance and even the “spirit” vehicle. Unusual type The body of the model combines a swift sporty look and the comfort of a full-fledged sedan. The frameless design of the doors gives a feeling of lightness and sophistication to the entire body. The car can be purchased in one of eleven color options, in each of which it looks just great. You can also choose from several alloy wheel designs.
Each mechanism here is a separate piece of engineering art. For example, an advanced system all-wheel drive 4MOTION provides optimum road holding, driving stability and at the same time the highest level passenger comfort. Also used here electronic system differential lock (XDS). It is responsible for the accuracy of the braking force and allows you to maximize the potential of wheel adhesion with pavement. Among other smart technologies implemented on board the car, there is a recovery system and a function automatic start idle move.
The Passat CC is based on the Passat B6, but marketers refer it not to the D, but to the E-segment. Why - we will find out later, but for now we will answer the obvious question: why waste paper (or a keyboard resource) at all to create material dedicated to servicing a car of this class? After all, this is the business of auto mechanics, a rare owner of the Passat CC wants to get his hands dirty, poking around in the suspension or engine of his German horse. We will answer: some of the operations for which they are ready to tear merciless money in a car service are not so difficult even for a beginner. And if you once had your father's 412th Moskvich, then you can change the pads on the Passat for sure. True, only the front.
A little bit of history
Volkswagen lived quietly and did not grieve. And then I began to think: I have a classic Passat in my lineup, and there is a representative Phaeton. Well, what is between them? "Never mind"! - the Germans were upset and built a slightly more pompous Passat SS on the basis of a modest Passat. And they forced society to consider it an E-class car, because the Passat B6 is D, and the Phaeton is F. It happened in 2008. Six months later, SS began to be assembled in America, and this is important for us, because the car, which was kindly provided to us by its owner Dmitry, was assembled right there, in the United States.
Everyone who has ever read about the SS knows that these letters are an abbreviation for "Comfort-Coupe", which is translated as "comfort coupe". Now you know it too.

In 2011, the car was restyled. In the spring of next year, the updated SS could already be bought in Russia. The changes affected the optics, interior and some body elements. Passat CC has become a little more aggressive and "serious" at the same time. However, describing the appearance of the SS in words is like singing “Ave Maria” to the deaf. Let's put on gloves and climb to figure out which bolts and nuts can be twisted in the SS, and which ones are better left untouched.
Engine
I have already said that this car arrived in Russia from America. This can partly explain its very rare equipment, namely the presence of a two-liter turbocharged engine TFSI in conjunction with a six-speed "automatic", and not with. Note that the year of manufacture of our car is 2009, it arrived in Russia in 2014, the mileage is 129 thousand kilometers.
The features of the motor include its changeable gasoline and oil "appetite". On this machine, with very quiet ride the city managed to keep within eight liters per hundred kilometers. But who will buy the SS for such purposes? That's right, when you go on it, you always want to step on the gas. And here the consumption increases to 16 liters. But on average, sometimes roaring the engine, and sometimes riding imposingly, it is quite possible to spend no more than 12-13 liters per 100 kilometers in the urban cycle. “Putting” on the track the speedometer needle on the number “130” (this is conditional, our American Passat has a speedometer scale marked in miles, so we focus not on the arrow, but on the numbers on-board computer) and turning on the cruise control, we get a flow rate of just under eight liters.
The situation is similar with oil consumption. Sometimes there are almost panicky reviews: a liter per thousand or even more. According to a car service specialist, oil consumption can reach high levels with an aggressive driving style, and this is the price for a turbine. In our case, since the last oil change, the car has run 6,000 kilometers, and we were able to add half a liter of oil to the top mark on the dipstick. Consumption, as we see, is not so terrible. But it's there, and there's no getting around it.
By the way, it would be useful for fans to “crush slippers” to know that this motor can be “chip” quite effectively. Without replacing any hardware, only chipovka can achieve good results: power from 200 hp. rises to 265, and the torque - from 280 Nm to 430. The cost of the operation is from 18 to 25 thousand rubles.
What are the standard maintenance tasks that can be carried out on the Passat CC on your own?
Even a not very experienced person will not be difficult to change the oil with a filter. The cost of the filter is no more than 600 rubles. Don't skimp on oil. Volkswagen recommends Castrol, the owner of our CC and uses it. The cost of a liter is about 800 rubles, the required amount is five liters, for a total of 4,000 rubles. The filter is available, it can be seen next to oil dipstick, it is easy to unscrew it. Just as easy to find drainer block crankcase.
The German gloomy genius did not show himself in any way in the design of the casing air filter. True, the developers did not want to install latches, they will have to work with a screwdriver. We remove the cover and put a new one, there are no subtleties in the procedure.
However, save a lot (if, of course, among Passat owners In general, there are lovers of savings in SS) these two procedures still will not work. The average price tag for changing the oil and both filters ranges from 600 to 700 rubles. Not at the dealer, though - it will be much more expensive there. On what you can close a hundred or two - this is on the filter. You can buy it for 1,200 rubles, or you can buy it for 400, and the quality is not inferior to the original.
On the Passat, like on any other (even German) car, sometimes you have to change the ignition coils and spark plugs. In a service, especially an official one, you may be told that this procedure requires the skills of an engineer of the highest category, an alien tool for removing coils, or some special state of Buddha's enlightenment. This is not entirely true. Yes, there is a special puller, but it may well be replaced by an ordinary flat screwdriver, and many will even manage with their own fingers. Carefully snap off the coils, then remove them from the candles by pulling them up (with an unknown puller, prying with a screwdriver or just with your hands). Candles sit deep enough, but unscrewing them is no more difficult than on any other engine. However, for the replacement of candles in the service, you will have to pay only 500 rubles.
While the hood is open, let's see how to change the headlight bulbs. Turns out it's surprisingly easy. We remove the protective rubber cover, and the connector is already visible behind it. There can be no difficulties here.
Let's add a few words about oil. If you look at the engine from below, then traces of oil drips are clearly visible. But, as the car service master says, this picture should not frighten the owner of a car with a turbocharged engine. For these units, traces of oil are almost the norm. But the probe is still better to check regularly.

Salon and body
The quality of the paintwork does not cause any complaints. Let's sit on driver's seat and let's see how the owner of the SS feels behind the wheel.
It cannot be said that some super-expensive materials were used in the interior trim. The plastic is quite rigid and does not look too pretentious. But in general, it looks very, very worthy. This panel could also be covered with “young leatherette skin”, it would not lose the rigor and harmony of its overall pattern. In a word, this is the case when something looks more expensive than it actually is. And this is a big plus.

We have already talked about how, but then on a test drive there was a car with a 1.8-liter engine (152 hp) and a DSG box, and today we have a car with a two-liter unit (200 hp) and the usual "automatic". Well, let's try.
Sitting here is extremely comfortable. True, only in the front seats. With my height (only 179 cm), the rear was frankly low. I rested my head on the ceiling, and the only pleasure was to feel decent lateral support in the back (!) Seat and put my hand on a full-fledged wide armrest. Here are two passenger seats, and if you don’t have to push with your elbows, then a tall passenger will polish the upholstery of the ceiling with his head anyway. Another thing is the place of the “pilot”. One had only to sit behind the wheel, as there was a feeling of affinity with the car. And after starting the engine, the impressions become even more pleasant. Noise isolation is at its best here, but, starting to play the gas pedal while standing still, I got so carried away that the owner of the car opened the passenger door and asked if I had any problems. No, they didn’t, and I’m still able to transfer the selector to “D”. But the feeling that a working two-liter engine generates is incredibly difficult to put into words. It is almost inaudible, but it is felt that the car lives. The motor breathes and is ready to take off the car at any moment, just hint to him about it. Let's go!
Compared to the "robot" gear changes, of course, are noticeable. But the realization that a reliable “automatic” transmits the moment from the engine to the wheels, and not these three almost indecent letters DSG, makes us come to terms with this. Moreover, there are no jerks or dips, acceleration is smooth, with no signs of “thoughtfulness”. Suspension stiff, but in moderation. It allows you to steer quite actively, but does not seek to recapture a soft spot and break your spine on uneven roads. Let's talk about its features in more detail.
Chassis and brakes
Repairing the running gear of the SS is not cheap. And, unfortunately, not the rarest. Our Volkswagen has both front and rear suspension everything is fine, but some weak spots need to know in advance. This is primarily the silent blocks of the front levers. They rarely go more than 40 thousand kilometers, and, according to the service station master, their usual service life is only 25-30 thousand. This, of course, is not the most good news. It is much better that replacing them is not difficult, and you can even learn how to do it yourself. But the replacement of such a spare part in a car service should not ruin: they ask for work from 500 to 800 rubles.
In the photo: rear silent block of the front lever
The whole lever assembly is much more expensive. It is aluminum, and assembled with a silent block and a ball joint, you will have to pay for it from 6,700 rubles. For its replacement, they will ask for 1,200 rubles. However, for the rest chassis surprises should not be presented.
At the November 2011 Auto Show in Los Angeles was presented facelifted volkswagen Passat CC 2012 model year. In comparison with the pre-styling model, which has been produced since 2008, the design of the front and rear parts car. At the same time, it became a little longer and lower, but wheelbase and the platform remains the same.
The interior of the 2012 Passat SS hasn't changed much, except for the modified center console and the design of the climate control controls. On Russian market new Volkswagen Passat CC came in three trim levels. Also, buyers have the opportunity to choose one of 4 combinations of engine and gearbox. This is a 1.8-liter TSI petrol with a capacity of 152 hp, which works in tandem with both a 6-speed manual and a 7-band DSG “robot”. Also Volkswagen Passat SS 2012 is equipped with more powerful gasoline engine, which develops 210 hp with a volume of 2 liters, and a 2-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 140 hp. In addition to the latter power units Volkswagen Passat CC 2012 is equipped with a 6-speed DSG box. A version with a 300-horsepower engine and an all-wheel drive system is not supplied to Russia. For the convenience of transporting long items in the trunk, with a volume of 532 liters, the middle section rear seat may be folded. In addition, optionally for the Volkswagen Passat SS 2012, it is possible to fold backrest in a ratio of 2:3.B basic configuration The new Volkswagen Passat CC is equipped with 2-zone climate control, an 8-speaker audio system, a touchscreen display, a tire pressure monitoring system and an adaptive electric power steering, the sensitivity of which changes depending on the speed. In addition, Passat SS 2012 has 6 airbags, traction control system, system exchange rate stability, ABS and electronic differential lock.
