Very sorry to hear that.
So a VW diesel will only last about 200k miles or less?

That looks like it will be my one data point. I get that everything I
wanted to do was normal maintenance... except the flywheel. There were lots
of other fit and finish issues. Like it was said, it is a non-MB diesel

The TDI Passat cost half as much as the CDI E class, so lasting half as
long is to be expected. By the time I get 200,000 miles on the Passat at
7,000/yr., there will be something much more interesting. The Cessna gets
the long trips now, and I don't commute to work anymore.

Strange. I traded the '06 Jetta TDI in on a '14 gas Jetta. It was time to
take the TDI in for its third timing belt (170K miles), motor mounts,
transmission mounts, transmission service. I hadn't driven it in awhile
