Anyone got a latest shape VW Passat 2.0 TDI?
Discussion
As per title.
Reason that I ask is that I have. 2012 model, 4 door, 2.0 TDI 140 PS Bluemotion with 56k on the clock.
I've noticed something with the car - always have done and wondered if it was a new-ness matter. But car is almost out of warranty so can't be new-ness now.
Thing that I've noticed is that as you go down a hill in it - and generally don't accelerate, i.e. foot of 'the gas' and let the car take itself a little bit - the car seems to pull back a little. Perhaps like the engine's picked up and is starting to gradually slow itself.
I don't believe I've changed my driving style. The last long term car I had was a SEAT Ibiza Cupra 1.9 TDI which never did anything like this - however, it was on 108k. Perhaps things were considerably looser.
Just wondering - has anyone else noticed this? I thought it was a problem at first - doesn't seem to have done any harm to the car - but my Dad noticed the other day when he was in the car with me and asked me what I was doing and so i'm guessing it's not really improved (if improving is the word!?).
Safety feature?

Thanks to you both for this.
Glad others are feeling it - thought it was just me! Couldn't even describe it properly to a work colleague.
Interesting feature mind!
SEAT Exeo - any good? Potential change of job means i'm going to probably have to buy my own car. Fancy something VAG again and enjoyed my last SEAT. Need family sized car really and Exeo nicely cheaper than equivalent Passat.
