    The Passat is not like the Jetta is it where the top dash has a separate vent that needs shutting off for the other vents to blow more.
    If you keep the top vent open it just pushes more cold air onto windscreen and doest seem to cool the cabin down at all until you close it.

    Blackpalardin67: Not sure about the B8 but it's cousin vehicle the Golf mk7 (both cars are built on a MQB platform) has a "wobble-plate" compressor that is designed to operate at 2 x set points: the "normal" setting allows for a basic capacity level cooling and "hot country" setting increases the capacity of the Air Con by lengthening the stroke of the compressor.

    If the B8 has the same system, it might be worth checking the setting on your car. All that's needed is a diagnostic cable like VCDS, or OBDeleven - like this:

    See Edit below
    For VCDS cable owners

    Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is on-line, in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the expertise of the wider forum! Thank you.

    Took out my air con filter from front passenger foot well yesterday, washed and dried made a significant difference in cooler/quicker bringing temp down , didn't think it was that dirty but has made a difference.

    Good quality window tint will also make AC work a lot better.
