I operate 10 VW Passats..4 of which are the new model (55-07 plate) all of these cars are suffering from excesive inner rear tyre wear!! At about 30,000miles the rear tyres will start to rumble like a rear wheel bearing. The inside edges of the tyres will be out of shape having humps/bumps on the inner edges which will create a drown from the rear. VW Customer services say they are not aware of any problem with rear tyres.. However I have 4 cars doing the same..my local dealer has seen many other cars doing the same too!

I have in my possession an internal document from VW Tech regarding what they call "Saw-Tooth Wear" which is effecting passats... I think VW are trying to keep quiet about this issue...So.. if you have a passat with this problem get hold of your dealer or VW. So far I am less than impressed with VW Customer services which want me to pay to have all 4 cars into the dealer to have a full four wheel alignment. One car has been and cost over £400.00!! So I think NOT! Going to take it further now...........
