Consumer Review Video - 2015 Volkswagen Passat SEL Premium 3.6L V6

Common problems and easy repairs on a 2015 Passat

The 2015 Volkswagen Passat SEL Premium is difficult to maintain. Some of the headlights will require you to go through the wheel well lining for access, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. The tail lights in both housings will need said housings to be removed from the vehicle for access to the bulbs, which will also require multiple tools. Accessing the lower radiator hose, oil drain plug, and oil filter may be problematic given the large panel underneath the vehicle that will need to be removed first.

However, the 2015 Volkswagen Passat SEL Premium has its upsides. Other headlights are accessible simply by reaching behind the bulb housing, which allows for much more reliable changes. The spare tire and jack kit are packaged together and can be removed and set up without hassle. Checking the oil level won’t be a problem given the very accessible location of the dipstick.
