Hi,

I ordered a B8 2.0 TDI 150 bhp last year and took delivery in March of this year. When the car was delivered I was informed there had been a mistake at the factory and VW had sent a 2.0 Tdi 150 bhp 4Motion. As the mistake was not mine nor the dealers VW honoured the original order and associated price, so I'm delighted, got a 4Motion for the price of a 2wd.

I know the Alltrack and 240 bhp are 4Motion but from my research you can't order my spec of car at all. So I have since been wondering is my car the only one?

I assume you are talking about March 2016.

There was one commencing 2014, Volkswagen - Passat (B8) - 2.0 TDI (150 Hp) 4MOTION - Technical specifications, Fuel economy (consumption) (http://www.auto-data.net/en/?f=showCar&car_id=21844)

and it looks here to be termed the Variant, Volkswagen Passat Technical specifications and fuel economy (consumption, mpg) (http://www.autodata1.com/en/car/volkswagen/passat#passat-b8)

and finally, VOLKSWAGEN Passat Variant - 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 - autoevolution (http://www.autoevolution.com/cars/volkswagen-passat-variant-2014.html#aeng_volkswagen-passat-variant-2014-20-tdi-4motion-6mt-150-hp)

I got my R Line 150 in March and it's resistered as a 4Motion. I was reminded of it today when I called up TFL to register the car and they confirmed the model to me as an R Line 4Motion. I think it's just a blip in the car registration as it's definitely not 4wd.
