Check out real-world situations relating to the Volkswagen Passat 2010 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
VW Passat CC unusual shudder
The technician is correct, there shouldn't be any shuddering, but it doesn't appear to be having any detrimental effect on the car in any other way. I would report your concerns to the dealer before the warranty runs out and ask for his advice on the problem.

Passat badge
These badges are usually held on with contact cement, so make sure the surfaces are clean and dry before fitting the new ones. I would suggest you contact VW direct and express your concern to them and request they supply and fit the badges you need at their cost. The cost is so small that I cannot believe VW or the dealer would not simply do it as a sign of good will.
