Also I've noticed on a few occasions a delay when accessing the reverse gear. So this seemed odd to me cause i remember one of the first things I did upon buying the car, was change tranny oil, engine oil etc.. One time the car went into reverse so violently that I thought someone hit the car. This seems to happen when the tranny heats up during normal driving.
So took the car to have it checked out. Checked mounts etc..all good.. Mechanic told me its the transmission valve body that beginning to go bad. Dammit!!! Went for a second opinion and sure enough the diagnosis was confirmed. Did some extensive research on the symptoms and sure enough, it's a failing valve body. The car drove sweet up until,now.. Jeez boi. I knew it was a gamble eh.. Ah roll de dice and lost... Steups. Ah real totin.. [UNAMUSED FACE]

Take pics and post up? Depending on what's wrong go wouldn't pay more than 100-120k for one and that's only if I had an idea of what really needed to be fixed and could source parts. What engine in the Passat we talking about?

Nah... that price could be reflecting transmission issues or something major.
If you get a diagnostic scan done on it for about $250.00 by someone that knows the VW Brand, you will be able to further assess the situation.
Ecotune from here might be able to assist you.
Sometimes one component is the root cause for the majority of symptoms.
