Are there any common issues with the Volkswagen Passat's engine?

I recently purchased a used Volkswagen Passat and I'm worried about potential engine problems. Are there any known issues that I should be aware of?

Based on my experience as a mechanic, the Volkswagen Passat's engine is known for its durability. However, it's important to make sure that regular maintenance is done to avoid any future issues.

I've owned a Passat for 5 years now and haven't encountered any major engine problems. Just make sure to follow the recommended maintenance schedule and you should be fine.

I have a friend who owns a Passat and she had to get the engine replaced after only 3 years. It's always a good idea to get a thorough inspection before purchasing a used car.
