Failure Date: 09/08/2008. The contact owns a 2004 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that water has accumulated in the sun roof and over time the water has leaked down to the transmission module causing the transmission to malfunction. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer and the dealer stated the transmission module needs to be replaced. Dragging clutch. If you have a manual transmission, you might experience a dragging clutch. This is described as the clutch disk failing to disengage the flywheel when the clutch is pressed.

Friday morning I got into the family car (1998 VW Passat with manual transmission) and, depressing the clutch, started the engine. The car rocked backwards (I normally leave the gearshift in reverse when parked, plus the parking break was on), the engine died, and the clutch petal stayed on the floor (not good!). #1 · May 29, 2018 I'm trying to help out a friend of mine who is looking at buying a used '05 Passat Sedan with 2.8 and automatic transmission and 225,000 miles. What's the general sense of the reliability of these automatics? I know that the autos on the TDI's were very problematic.
