Hello. It looks great in those pics. The interior seems substantially upgraded, with the new leather-trimmed door panels, and I like how the seats have more lateral support. The stitching on the steering wheel is nice, too. Thanks for the information and have a nice day! :)

took delivery of a brand new Eos TDI DSG about a month ago. drove it for 5 days (300 km)before it stopped dead. towed away to dealer where it has been since. took dealer 1 week to find problem is faulty fuel pump. No parts available in stock in australia and still waiting for dealer to get parts and repair. VW australia have washed their hands of it and refuse to compensate me for any losses and I should be greatful they have given me a 3 year/100,000 km warranty. I only hope I get my car back before the warranty expires.

We took delivery of our EOS Diesel around a month ago & couldn’t be happier. Best value under 60k, I should say so.
No problems so far, no roof rattle, leaks, particle filter issues.
Fingers crossed. I must say, favourite car ever.

Hi all,
I’ve just got a drive away deal for VW Candy white EOS 2.0 TFSI with DSG and red letter fittings for $55,000.
I wonder is that the best I could get or I could have done better.
Thanks in advance.

I drive an EOS (Individual) diesel – great car and very happy with everything bar the roof rattle when the roof is up. Car is coming up to its first 15000 service and it will be interesting to hear if this is common and what VW does to solve the problem – all rubbers intact and in good condition.

Ian, I have an 06 Passat V6 wagon with DSG – what a lovely combo. Have had some minor glitches where, after driving briskly, the box wants to select the wrong gear. However, never a problem in Sydney’s crap traffic. If the trakkic is very, very slow I select sport – gears change less often. Otherwise what a lovely ride and all at 9.8L/100k

Ian, the issues you are having with your DSG seem strange. I own a DSG equipped R32, and it’s the nicest gearbox I’ve every had. I’ve also driven the Jetta TDI and GOLF GT TD with the DSG (in city traffic) and had no issues with them whatsoever.

Love the look of the EOS but!! I own a new Passat diesel and can tell you the noise just gets more intrusive, the diesel smell is embarrassing and if you drive that revolting DSG box in heavy traffic you will see what a jerky rough useless thing it really is.It drops into fifth around town at 1200 revs and has nothing until 1800. The turbo lag and the DSG make taking off in traffic dangerous. It has nothing and then at 1800 everything including wheelspin shudder and bounce. Would gladly swap this dogbox for my old XR6 anyday

Can anyone satisfy the diesel petrol dilema for me by asking the questions that would reveal the truth for me….. also I am moving to Brisbane from Perth so can any recent buyers give me an idea on delivery expectations, I have been quoted up to 5 mths in Perth?
Many thanks for the other enlightened comments!

My Golf’s a 1.9 and doesn’t have the particulate filter. It seems odd that something can go wrong with a filter. Give us an update on how you go.

We are the owners of the 2008 VW eos TDi.
Sadly our experience has been a horrid one…
From the first week of having this car we have had an issue with the “diesel particulate filter” which after cosultation at service department,we have returned nearly TEN times!!!!
Our qestion goes out to all who have this vehicle, ARE WE THE ONLY ONES ? We love the car and just want to enjoy it , our service department has now decided to replace the part, lets hope this works !!!!

I own an Eos TFSI and have had it for a year. It is an awesome car and nothing in the price range compares. It really is like having a few cars in one. TFSI is a great engine!
