VW Sharan review from owner after 60.000miles/100.000km

[@kucervja]

Got the same car a year ago. And have to say i am really happy with it! Especially like this car in a long trips. Very convenient seats. Your videos have teach me a lot about this car. Thank you buddy! Wish you the best with this excellent car.

[@wawayltd]

Thank you :)

[@cobsonjobban9210]

I have owned Sharan 2011 highline for 220 000 km, I like the car but it is not the cheap car to maintain. I have had to repair/replace the following right side sliding door electronics (door control unit, sliding door motor, aux motor for the lock), Left side sliding door control unit, breaks front and back + rotors, back wheel bearings, rear struts, clutch and flywheel, cambelt, adblue heater, glow plungs, egr valve, aircon compressor. Yes I know that most are parts that you have replace after a while, but price of the parts are high and a lot of electric faults on this car. But I live in the north so we have very cold winters and the car is made in warm Portugal. Great car to drive but some times the faults get you angry. Especially during winter time, doors are frozen, all kind of electrical issue. Some of these fixed with your videos so thank you. Keep up the great work.

At 50k all brake pads needed replacing which is not bad. Clutch remains super light and overall it still feels like new. Fords nowadays are sure getting the German durability.

Even brakes pads checked no problem with installation. Sound comes from front end.

Hi what type of your engine is? Just bought VW Passat 2.0 CR TDI 58reg with CBAB engine. Have you heard any opinions about this engine? Thanks in advance. Car is currently run on longlife oil. I don't trust these oils. Would you recommend changing every 9000-10000 miles? Many thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@wawayltd]

Hi Piotr. My engine is CFFB, which is also common-rail. So far these engines have good reputation. Comparing to VAG previous PD engines that were not so amazing. I have seen two video reviews on KZbin from one mechanic 5 worst and 5 best VAG engines. So on a top 3 best he had 1.9tdi, 3.0tdi and 1st place - our common-rail 2.0 tdi. This engine is reliable (normally) and simple to maintain. My car has done 158.000 miles and still happy :) I don't know what are service intervals for long life and non-long life oils. I use long-life and change the oil every 9400 miles. It's a standard setting, when I reset the service on a dashboard.

[@wawayltd]

Yeah, thanks :) Merry Christmas to you, too! :)

So i m trying to buy wheel with this formula wich I have on the car 7j 17H2 5x112 ET 39 but I didn't foud. I found something close 7j 17 5x112 ET 38 ...so will be this ok like a wheel spare ? thanks very much

[@wawayltd]

Sorry Sergiu, I'm not good with these wheel numbers. Just had a look on Internet. 7 - wheel width in inches, J - passenger car, 17 - is diameter... as I understand 5x112 is the amount of holes for bolts and distance, so it will fit (good to know, I'll check with the wheel I have for my holiday trip). ET 39 or 38 is offset, there is only 1mm difference, so I believe at least as spare it will do. Here's what articles I used as reference: www.tyreleader.co.uk/tyres-advices/wheel-markings And here's about offset: shopdap.com/wheel-offset-explained/

Hi can you do a video on wing mirror bulb change please. Thanks

[@wawayltd]

Unfortunately there's no bulb, it's LED string that comes as one whole peace as a bottom part of mirror casing. So you have to pretty much order whole new bottom of wing mirror. I wanted to make a video about it, then I changed my mind, because it may show some criminals how to disassemble mirror, because it can be done with the car locked and owner not knowing that someone "working on his car". Basically you need to take mirror glass out, unscrew motor, I think there were 3 screws and then it's pretty easy to figure out how to disassemble casing.

can you help me with something my doesn't put hot air at rear do you know why??? thank's for your attention

[@wawayltd]

This car has 3 climate zones - left, right and rear. To control rear, press button "REAR", also you can apply same settings for all zones by pressing button with picture of lots of people. Rear climate zone has its own blower motor that's located behind trim under rear right quarter window, so it's separate from the front. If there's a fault with rear heater, then I can't help, because I don't have experience with that yet.

Hello your videos helpful I have vw sharan 2016 automatic do about 30 mile in one gallon is that normal for this car is only 24500 miles

[@wawayltd]

30 mpg is a bit low in my opinion, but it all depend how you driving, where you driving (motorway, hills, traffic, does it get to working temperature) If you just commuting and engine warms up only when you arrive - cold engine consumes more. Also American mpg are different to British. Mileage is irrelevant for me - this car is on 343.000 now and it drives like a dream.

That's DSG gearboxes have bad reputation. Apparently newer ones supposed to be good... But I don't trust them (personal opinion). I have manual gearbox - simple and reliable. My car has over 180.000 miles on a clock (about 290.000km), all I had to do - change clutch recently. New one I've put in by myself, so I believe with good driving it will last forever.

[@yl1101]

great review! I am on the lookout for a Sharan because my family got bigger and my V50 is not doing it anymore. One question, is the VW 2.0 tdi still eating oil from new? I heard this from a Passat owner- previous passat gen.

[@wawayltd]

Thanks :) My car currently is reaching mileage of 200.000 miles, and so far never asked me for a top up between services. Don't know, maybe it depends on particular car or how it's looked after, but so far my Sharan behaves like a good boy and just completed another trip to Latvia and back. I have this annoying issue with AdBlue heater that needs to be sorted by December's MOT. Also need to mention that nominal oil capacity is 4.3 litres, and I buy 4.5 litre bottle and don't keep those 200 grams - just pour it all in. So maybe it's eating tiny bit of oil, but I don't notice it. Comparing to some BMW's that can consume litre in no time.

[@bogdanb5664]

that's great. thank you. One more question and I am done. What engine do you have? I know there is a 116hp version as well as the 140hp and 177hp version. Thanks!

I went for the manual, because DSG has not very nice reputation. Not sure about the latest ones though - some say they are improving. I still prefer manual, because it's simple, reliable, maintenance free (you have to change oil in DSG). All you care with manual is clutch once in a while, and with private use perhaps once in a lifetime ;)

Hi. Great video. Very informative. Im considering a sharan but its 2016 & done about 120000km. I think its a 2L manual but without the electric doors like yours. It seems to drive well & is in good condition & is sold by a reputable dealer. I'm just a bit concerned about the mileage ie 30000km in about 4yrs. Is this too much i wonder? Any advice or tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

[@wawayltd]

That car in the video is on 415.000 miles now, which is about 670.000km. I think the car you looking to buy was either used as a taxi, or part of some company fleet. In those cases I would expect it to be in reasonably good condition, because if you have car for business you want it to be in working condition. However, I don't know history of it, so can't say much more. Good luck. 😊👍

[@ssc587]

@@wawayltd wow! 670000km ! And its still going strong? Thats impressive. In true VW style. Yea. I'm not sure who was the previous owner of this vehicle. I will need to ask the dealership that tomorrow. You are right , it could be a taxi or part of a fleet. But would that much mileage ie about 30000km in a year , be too much? I think its a lot but some people say its average to less especially as this is a 'people carrier'. Again, appreciate your opinion. Thanks.

[@wawayltd]

As a taxi driver I do about 60.000 miles a year (100.000km). Sorry 16 years in UK, I started thinking in miles. 30.000 km I would say it still could be someones car with a lot of driving. Maybe someone had a long commute to work.

[@ssc587]

@@wawayltd yea. Could be someone's personal car. Like a family car maybe. Good thing is that it is being sold by a reputable dealership so I will enquire with them. I understand you know a lot about the mechanics of cars & I think you are competent at servicing /repairing yourself. Im a clueless when it comes to cars. I do service it when it says so but apart from that i don't do much more. Did you have much technical issues with your sharan? 100000km a year? And again impressive that this is on the sharan?

[@wawayltd]

It depends on car, I know some people have issues with low mileage, maybe my car is lucky, maybe it has been good because it exercises s lot. So far I replaced couple clutches, EGR + wear and tear.

It's hard to say. In my case, they lasted over 400.000 miles! Despite being used and abused. I had one fixable issue. On the other hand, in taxi, you want to have something simple and basic that won't give you trouble. Imagine you have 6 passengers, and the one in 3rd row wants to be sick outside. Try to explain another drunk passenger on the 2nd row - DON'T TOUCH THE DOOR! It will open itself and it doesn't like to be interrupted 😉

Но ОЧЕНЬ не хочу встревать на проблемы ибо живу в Германии, где любой час механика стоит 100 евро. Я не привиреда, но если после 100к начинает сыпаться по кругу то легче купить с завода. Если до 200к агрегаты тянут - то можно и рискнуть взять б.у. Вы как думаете? У вас полный привод кстати?

@@paxancik Привод у меня передний. У меня есть теория, что мой Шаран так хорошо едет, потому что эксплуатируется каждый день и много, постоянно всё движется, смазывается и не застаивается. Я видел такие с меньшим пробегом и в грустном состоянии. Я не хочу наобещать счастливую жизнь вашему предполагаемому Шарану/Алхамбре и не дай Бог - в последствии облому. Конретно мой Шаран меня радует, я с ним породнился и знаю что и когда ему надо и он меня не подводит. Насчёт пробега, я новый не брал (дорого). При моём пробеге 8к км + в месяц, для меня циферки на панеле роли не играют, главное, чтоб машина ухожена была. Но это моё субъективное мнение.

@@CristianP I don't seem to have rust anywhere.. Engine is ok. Gearbox is good. Feels like I have to replace clutch soon again. I have done last one about 150-160 thousand miles ago. You know, sometimes I think that it's so good, because I constantly drive it and it doesn't have time to stay there and get rusty or stiff.. Oh yeah, I think I will need to replace injector seals soon.

@@CristianP .. still same turbo too and same EGR.

It's 2nd generation. This article will help you to understand: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Sharan

Shame the older one isn't made anymore. So much more leg room.

[@wawayltd]

Didn't try the old one, so can't compare. However, I find this one pretty spacious..

Thanks! I like it too :)

vw all ways the best cars go longer than the others

If you look after them and care properly - they will go forever.

I have a 2l Diesel engine on my Grandis, made by VW and the biggest issues with this car have ben engine related. It is a VW Touran engine 2006. So don't buy into German reliability... is no longer the case. VW multivan T5 have major faults with the injectors, is not worth fixing it unless is new... So we need to do our homework before spending our time and money for a wagon... Glad to know this is a better car than the rest, I need one at this point since the engine on the Grandis is close to being dead.
