 Please do your self a favor...RUN don"t walk away from owning a VW especially a 2006 Passat 2.ol. VW doesn't back up their product.There is clearly a design problem with a this year and this model"s engine which ultimately results in your need to replace the engine!!In the 40K plus area the cars begins to burn oil, there is a problem with the cam shaft and high pressure fuel pump.VW puts a bandaid extended warranty that is designed to do nothing.It is carefully worded to protect VW and not the unsuspecting buyer.
