While a V6 Passat can sludge (as can any engine), it is not nearly as common as sludge issues on the turbocharged 1.8 liter engines. The reason for the difference is that the heat from the turbo, combined with an inadequate oil capacity (under 4 liters) breaks down the oil and forms sludge. The V6 engine, being a non turbo and having a larger oil capacity is less prone to sludge. However, as is the case with any engine, prolonged oil change intervals and cheap oil/filters will increase the risk of sludgeing over time.

Flushing sludge from your engine is not a very smart thing to do. Almost every automotive technician will agree with that. Flushing out an engine causes all the sludge to drain down into the oil pan. Which in turn tends to plug up the oil pick up and causes engine damage.
