2012 Volkswagen Passat SE TDI - At Last, We Finally Add AdBlue
2012 Volkswagen Passat SE TDI - Four Seasons Update - January 2013 - Automobile Magazine
Our stalwart Passat heads in for its 20,000-mile service.

Our Four Seasons Passat TDI's round-trip to the East Coast took a toll on its odometer. Before heading to the Empire State, we'd only racked up a little more than 16,000 miles. Upon its return, we'd managed to push that just shy of the 20,000-mile mark, meaning it was once again time to visit our dealer for scheduled maintenance.
