You'll want to test fit your baby seat. We've got a B6, assuming internal dimensions are similar amongst the models, and our rear facing seat will touch the seats if they are far back enough. It's my...

Ran VCDS and grabbed the codes, the engine issue was G28 - engine speed sensor had failed. Seemed to have reset itself. If this reoccurs, may be an indication the sensor is on it's way out.

Does...

I'm wondering if this could help? Or is this only if the transmission/mechatronics has been replaced?

Have an odd problem with my 07 passat TDI wagon with DSG box.

When cold, for probably the first km of driving it's very jerky if im just trying to hold speed. If im accelerating at a reasonable...

Secretly wishing my current ride gets hit up the rear so I can buy this!

Thankyou!

No worries, thanks Umai! If it's full to the top, once the cap is on and it pressurizes, I'm guessing it'll just go out an overflow somewhere?

Umai Naa!!, any tips for bleeding it (any hidden bleed screws or the like)? Or just leave the cap off, fill to the line, motor on heater on keep topping up for a while, usual deal?

Ah ok, that's easily done as well :)

Thanks everyone! Looking at some video's online, looks like there is a tap near the lower hose on the radiator. If so, should make a full flush a pretty easy job (will fill and rinse out with water a...

Sorry had another question, any recommendation on coolants? Is the usual green stuff ok, and is it difficult to change/bleed on these cars?

Thanks buddy :)

Hey guys, getting ready to try servicing my B6 passat 2.0tdi BKP DSG wagon.

What engine oil and oil filter would you recommend?

I'd also like to change the oil in the DSG. What DSG oil would...

Thanks guys, replaced battery and all working again :D

If it's just the battery, will I need to reprogram the key?

Not yet, I haven't been home yet to try it.
I grabbed a battery, so hopefully that's all it is!

Thanks guys! I guess I figured because I could still lock it with the remote, that the battery was ok - but seems that isn't the case???

Hey all! We've got a B6 Passat wagon, and suddenly my partner has been locked out! She managed to get in using the emergency little key thing that hides inside the fob, and the car started and off...

Well, I posted here a week or two ago about bits and bobs to service it. Well, I never got to do it, because it left the missus stranded last night and had to be towed to a local euro car mechanic.

Ok, so my girl is coming up for 140,000km service. It's a Passat Wagon 2.0TDI. DSG was done not long ago so I think I'm sweet there.

I'm hoping to do this at home myself, I've got all the tools...

Mate that is awesome help, thankyou!

Last question, from turn key to the unit working, how long does it normally take? Also, if you have reverse camera's, will that come on before the unit starts...

Awesome review garronleslie. Which model's have you gotten/would you recommend?

Hey, just wondering if anyone has replaced their headunits with the android ebay style ones? I'm looking at them as I'm on a limited budget (RNS and the autotunes ones out of my price range).

Just wondering if anyone has replaced their headunit with an eBay or aliexpress jobby?

The RNS models are out of my price range, so was looking at these but wanted to see if anyone has gotten one,...

Bit of a gravedig, but where did you get these? I can't find them anywhere online, only the ones that go in the fog light housings. Mine doesn't have foglights and I'm not fussed on having them,...
