The Passat B7 (2010–2015) catalogue is sound on engine identity: EA111 1.4 TSI, EA888 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TSI (211 PS) petrol turbos, and EA189 2.0 TDI plus EU-only 1.6 TDI diesels — all correct letter-families for this pre-B8 chassis, with no EA211/EA288 anachronism and no phantom VR6/V8. The one systematic defect was a DSG-to-torque mismatch: the 1.8 TSI (250 Nm) was paired with the dry-clutch 7-speed DQ200, whose 250 Nm ceiling it sits on; VW actually shipped it with the wet-clutch 6-speed DQ250. Those four rows are corrected; DQ200 is retained only for the low-torque 1.4 TSI and 1.6 TDI. RU rows (1.4/1.8/2.0 TSI sedan, Variant and Alltrack, incl. Alltrack 2.0 TDI 4Motion) are confirmed against the Russian price list and kept.
