VW Passat CC 3.6 VR6 DSG 220KW - NA Engines POV REVIEW

[@vitacanis1]

Good review. Very down to earth style which is refreshing to hear..well done

[@SilverhillDrives]

Thanks a lot! :) If i may ask, did you find the length of the video ok?

[@vitacanis1]

Point Of View Yes fine. Keep making them!

[@miljanivanko2312]

That video is my whole life dream....Passat VR6 with 300 HP, winter with snow and Christmas tree in the trunk...I envy you

[@sociaaljessie5431]

Driving a cayenne 3.6 2008 atm. Considering this passat as I've always liked the way they look inside and out.

[@mitch832]

Nice. I have to say I generally love the note a 6-pot engine makes, but in particular the coarse grumble of VR6 is just sexy.

[@Asher104]

This car has a conventional v6 not a vr6

[@EFerrorfile]

@@Asher104 No, it's a VR6. To be exact, it's the 3.6 BWS (EA390) engine.

Best review about this car on the web! You answered to all my questions! Now i' m sure to buy it though it' s difficult to find this engine in france thanks a bunch !

[@SilverhillDrives]

Glad i could help :)

[@chrismills-wallbridge2810]

Great review my friend your video was informative and good to watch. The POV was the best, I felt like I was driving it my self and the sound... well amazing.

[@markamd1]

Amazing review mate! I own a 2015 CC 3.6 R-LINE and I LOVE this car. A timeless design! Hello from Canada! :)

[@paulscillia1274]

Looking at a 2015 also. In Manuel. 2 liter. How is performance??

[@markamd1]

Performance isn't as great as the euro version @300hp...however the 280hp that I have on tap is more than enough. This car is about style and easy relaxing cruising. I love the weight of the VR6 4motion, feels nice and solid.

[@dildoshwaggins1017]

i like mine so much too, but it cant compare to newer hothatches without a turbocharger or supercharger. looking forward to 3.0 TFSI Vr6 it may bring back these glorious noises to the streets of europe one day

[@gustavososa4364]

I have one here in Argentina and I love it too.

[@Porschee944]

Great car!!! I have CC 2009 170HP

[@SilverhillDrives]

The CC is a great car!

[@garymathe9863]

i have the 2013 VR6 CC. The sound is nice when stock, but once you start replacing parts, it becomes intoxicating. Just replacing the large middle muffler with a pipe (~$80) makes it sound better than 95% of cars out there. Then you can add a couple of quality mufflers in the rear (e.g. Magnaflow/Borla) and you have the sound of an exotic, no joke. Wookie roar! PS: Great review, but the seats are not real leather in these cars which is great because 10 years later they still look the same unlike real leather. Also, the CC's exterior looks BETTER than similar Audis (A4, A6), and even the interior is 90% as good (I've owned 2 A4s and a TTS so I know firsthand). Oh, and no turbo lag ;)

[@akshayram1774]

Hey man, I have the VR6 aswell, 2012, I recently had the resonater removed (center i think), and the sound is great! but i wanna go a little louder, or try and hear some DSG farts (i heard its possible for the VR6), Does removing the large middle muffler with a pipe drone much for you? Whats the best set up to limit drone? Any tips!

[@guy990]

great video, you have a good eye for a lot of quality things from the materials used to the infotainment being laggy. I like the center screen in between the gauge cluster but the infotainment is very outdated.

[@meierjr.4280]

You can desactivate the ESP by taking out the fuse if I'm not mistaking

[@martinschmahn7524]

best car ever, I've already bought a second time but as you already say the consumption is really hard now amg 43 have a facelift and consumed just as much only that he has 90 more ps

[@martinschmahn7524]

Sorry its over google translation i hope you know what i mean

[@SilverhillDrives]

Jes i do - but still hard to beat the VR6 sound :)

[@marfrandema1884]

[@stevetica1283]

I have a 2018 passat GT VR6 3.6L. makes 290hp and 265ft lbs of torque. My topspeed is 155mph. I use from time to time racing fuel of 95 octane. Makes 305hp with that. Plus another 5hp with a bmc air filter highflow. A total of 310hp. It moves......

[@Blessed.2.Teach.4God]

Can you please clarify a bmc air filter... thank you.

[@Aluzcz]

The trunk is really big, CC actually have 50 liters bigger trunk than the normal passat. there is only less headroom on the back seats.

[@istanbullu5143]

What is the normal range of consumption of this car if i go with 100-120 speed ?

[@MeesNaguMuiste]

I'm interested in buying VW with 3.6 engine. 5:58 - can you please explain why it doesn't matter if you have 6 or 7 speed gearbox? As far as I know 6-speed (DQ250) gearbox should be far more reliable than 7-speed (DQ200). If gearbox oil changes are correctly done every 60 000 km, there shouldn't be any problems.

[@gustavososa4364]

I have one V6. I changed the oil every 60.000km without problems. I also do the Haldex oil change at the same time. It is a great car and I still have it. If you have questions let me know.

[@JR-tl8tg]

@@gustavososa4364 Hi there I am contemplating on getting on, I did like to know what to look out for in terms of the reliability and it's maintenance V6 engine wou;d be nice to draw a comparison to the 2.0tsi Thanks

[@Praudas]

Few questions: how much liters it drinks fuel on 100 km? And can you turn off traction controll on new model 2014?

[@dixonbainbridge923]

Its not that bad 35mpg on motorway 20mpg around town

[@oskartross8459]

Outside its not a passat because all body panels are different and front and rear lights are different. But otherwise very good car. My cc dsg is allways serviced and works fine

[@CarsConsequences]

Great review 👌 Great car

[@thibaultm702]

Excellent review, I already really wanted to purchase this car and my choice is now even stronger! The 15L/100km figure for city drive is a bit scary but I guess that's the price to pay for such a driving experience. Do you think it can get lower with a calm driving style in town? And second question: what about the sound proofing, is it good?

[@garymathe9863]

I get 13-25+MPG. That's a huge range, meaning that if you push it, it will act like a V8 (and sound as good too!) but if you want, you can easily get decent fuel efficiency. But if fuel cost is a concern for you, I'd definitely get the 2.0T instead.

[@Jigga57]

sounds good! what mods did you do? I have the US one we only have 280 hp

[@SilverhillDrives]

The only thing that was not stock on the car was the exhaust. It had a ulter backbox (muffler) and all the rest was stock. The exhaust did drone a little, but nothing too bad.

[@goodnota]

you also have 6-Speed normal Auto vs DSG on this one. US specs :)

[@dildoshwaggins1017]

@@goodnota nope. its DSG.

[@matemarijan3795]

I'm thinking of buying this car in the next couple of months. It has everything I want in a car. Throaty engine, great gearbox, power and great sound. Is there something special I should consider when buying this car? I'm buying in Germany. I also feel that big mileage is not an issue in this car since it's well built and it has naturaly aspirated engine. My uncle had one and he has done over 500 000 km with no problems

[@eurolegend7774]

did he change the timing belt tensionner? ask him pls

[@maxkemsley6931]

Hey! I just got a 2009 CC like this one. Does a reversing camera come as standard because mine doesn't seem to have one! And what about the Dynaudio sound system? How can I tell if mine has the Dynaudio system or not? And if not, who makes the standard sound system?

[@meowmeowkawaii6128]

U can see the cam physically on back if u have it, dynaudio is printed on the sterio if u have it

[@serge933]

Love your video, great review, subbed

[@richardremi]

Great review, am looking to get one as my next car. How serious are the dsg issues? Are they guaranteed to fail prematurely?

[@garymathe9863]

If you're buying a newish one, you are almost guaranteed to have 0 problems AT LEAST until 60k miles. Once you're over 100k, it's a bit of a crap shoot, just like the timing belt/chain. If you are getting an older one, get a manual or regular automatic.

[@TudorGruian]

Is it an all wheel drive?

[@parahax9380]

This rewiev is made in estonia i believe. On mul õigus? Thinking about buying a 2011 b7 body passat with the same engine

[@SilverhillDrives]

Teil on täiesti õigus :) VR6 mootor on tõesti väga hea ning võrdlemisi haruldane tänapäeva sedaanide seas. Enamus uuemad on juba turboga.

[@parahax9380]

Point Of View kohe oli aru saada et eestlane. Iinna vahel oli tõesti üle 10 l sajale? Või oleneb kuidas sõita?

[@SilverhillDrives]

Ütlen sulle ausalt ning otse - kui sa ehmatad, et sellise mootoriga kulu linnas üle 10ne, siis see auto pole sulle. Sõites üliökolt linnas ehk 11-13 saab - trassil kesklinn Viimsi ehk saad ka alla 10ne, kuid see on ikka pigem haruldus. Sõites selliselt nagu VR6 tahab, et sa temaga sõidaks, on kuluks 15-20.

Olen sõitnud sellega ca 600km ning keskmine on kusagil 10-11 kanti.. ausaltöeldes ma ei vaata väga kütusekulu poole, sest üsna lihtsalt on linnas võimalik saada 15-17 sajale.
