I'm really wanting to try the Continental SportContact 7 tyre, but it seems it doesn't come in a 235/40 R18 size, but it does come in 245/40 R18.

This would only alter the total diameter tyre by...

Late to this thread, but wondering if any other B7 owners are expericing this power loss? I have the B7 V6 FSI Highline 4Motion and have experienced power loss numerous times. It's always been under...

I've got a simialr problem but the passenger footwell. Are you able to take a photo of what I should be looking at (the plenum and the retaining screw)?
Thanks

The irony of this from VW is, that using a 504.00 or 507.00 oil with the lower quality (higher sulphur) fuel available here, means that the vehicle will no longer meet the ADR for the emission...

So the OEM fitment is 234/40 on the standard 18 inch rim.
Anyone know if we can run 245/35 or 245/40 without running into any tyre/guard contact issues?

Same problem here...
Wondering if your heating function is working okay to defrost the mirror?
And how much of the Liquid Nails did you use (e.g only around the edges, over the entire surface,...

Cheers George, much appreciated.

I realise it's off label, but I expect some expertise.

I'm still dubious about Miltons ability to actually removed the biofilm, which is what I need to ensure...

All great ideas, but I had been through this.

I tried vinegar first (see my OP)... it didn't work. Just made me want chips everytime I used the washers.
The vinegar kills the mould, but it...

TLDR: For removal of biofilms, my current research suggests using Chlorine Dioxide, not anything else listed in this thread so far.





So I've had some success (I think) cleaning out the...

sorry, I meant I'd use them both separately. Thanks for clarifying though.

Awesome - thanks.

I spoke with someone at VW today and I was given a price of about two hours labour and ~$140 for a new reservoir. It's probably cheaper to replace it if your pulling it out than...

I've got a B7 Passat and recently had a clogged washer jet. Mine are heated so it wasn't a cheap replacement.
Initially I was trying to clean it and noticed the windshield washer fluid reservoir...

Great job to the early adopters.


I noticed the Discover Media doesn't look like it supports DAB+ for Australia, but admittedly I was looking at a VW UK site. Have you got a link to an Aussie...

Honestly, I can't answer your question, but I can give you an alternative...
Get a pair of Autosocks instead!!! I can personally attest to them; used them on my Nissan Stagea RS4 and still use them...

So I've just ordered ATE SL.6 from HSY today for my Passat B7 V6 4Motion Highline as VW also specifies the need for VW Standard 501.14 brake fluid in my car. Ordering from HSY was very easy and they...

Just thought I'd add some info to this old thread.
My 2011 Passat 3C B7 V6 3.6L FSI (220KW) Highline Variant (Wagon) with engine code BWS has an option listing for 1LA, which appears to specify the...

Can you comment on how it affects the ride quality?
I have factory 18's on my Passat V6 FSI and am also looking at 19" wheels, but am concerned it will be too harsh around town.

It's not very easy having to trawl through 750+ posts though. I have watched the demo videos already and if they'd answered my questions I wouldn't have asked. I ave also been through a lot of the...

Thanks DkN. You answered most of my queries, and I've done some more research now too. I have a few more if you have the answers:

The two I mentioned would be good - screen resolution and...

Did you get those new wheels? How do they look?

So I had a Nissan Stagea and it got written off. Months later I found a Passat V6 Highline MY12 wagon that suited my needs and laid down my hard earned dosh.
Bought it sight unseen from QLD. A few...

Hi,
I'm new here, I just got my Passat MY12 wagon last week.
This seems like a great deal and I think I'd like in on this please. Hoping it is not too late.

But I do have some questions... I...

It's really the seats of the Sport pack that I'm after. Unfortunately, I have a bad back but the sports seat make a big difference to my comfort level.

I never got hassled. The Stagea was also somewhat of a sleeper; very understated for it's level of performance, a lot like the Passat.
One of the main reasons for leaving Japanese imports behind (as...
