Top 5 Failures of 2006-2011 VW Passats

Today we are doing a little bit of a modified "How VW Parts Fail" video. We are going to be looking at the top 5 failures on B6 Passats. Now these are not the only failures of the 2006-2011 Passats. There are plenty of other things that fail. So if I didn't mention something in the video, that does not mean it was not an issue. A ton of you asked me for something like this. I want to do videos on more models if you guys are into it.
