Thanks for the advise. Stealers quoted $1100, and no chance of good will because car > 6 years old.
Giving the monies to the local mechanic instead :D

MY13 Passat Alltrack. Clock spring failure. 120K on the odo. $1000 to fix. ($850 on the part, $150 on the labour, quote from a non-dealer mechanic).
Waiting for the dealer to have a look at the...
Ok, I've read, re-read all the threads mentioned. I've got the original MIB1 (Discover Media) and have previously gotten map updates from the website mentioned on this thread. Of course, I only see...
There was also a thread with an issue with failed water pumps for the B7 Passat (and in my case, AllTrack).
Just doing the 105K service today, and I've been hit with replacement front pads, the...
I got the same error when my AllTrack went for repairs for a rear-ender.
We thought it was simply an unplugged in sensor, as it turned out, it was the OTHER end that was dirty and was causing the...
Looks like all that ACCC action is now starting to actually have an effect. Congrats!
Repco?
The rain sensors only activate if you've set the right stalk to the "int" setting (one nudge upwards). You then should have some sort of dial that sets the sensitivity. In other words, read your...
VW are good at engineering their cars. Both batteries in both cars died 1 month and 2 months after the 3 year warranty expired.
Awesome news!
Battery dying?
If it was a gentle close, I would want it too...
...but woah, I got the mechanism replaced recently (it was starting to struggle, and the last month of the lease) and it closes with quite a big...
Not for my MY13 Golf yet... :(
I'm in the same boat too. I got my non-dealer VW garage to check my 5 year old vehicles (Passat AllTrack/Golf TDI). The Golf, they were concerned with a similiar problem. I took it back to the dealer...
Wait closer to the warranty expiring :)
Oh, to "extract" the 7z file, you need to install this:
7-Zip
Frankly, I'd contact your local VW dealership and ask them to do it. Reasons are, (and this is from my dodgy memory), some of the MY13/14 delivered vehicles needed a firmware update before being able...
I tried this too at the dealer when shopping last month. The wife's chosen seat of choice didn't fit with the "wings" extended to the full height :(
Do you have the models of seats you used to...
May as well add it to the existing thread :D
B7 TDI Alltrack- Water pump failure just out of warranty
Are you after the original V1 maps? Message me if you are :D
(Yes, you'll need to get the dealers to update your SatNAV unit before you can take ANY map updates. A batch of cars from 2013 didn't...
I didn't get water into the tailgate, but it pooled into the spare tyre area. (Golf Mk5 TDI)
It was the VW emblem that was the cause. The other popular causes are the wiring loom, and the tail...
Replaced after a week at the dealer. Not sure about where the delay was, maybe being a warranty job? ;)
I was clicking on the year :facepalm:
Is it me, or have navigation.com now removed the downloads from their website? I get to this page, and it says to visit your VW dealer, you get it free now with every service...

Water pump failure on our MY13 AllTrack. 4 years old, 70000ish km. We had extra warranty for keeping the car serviced with the dealer. Covered water pump and labour, but not fluids and belt.
