Quick update to the thread. I decided against the RNS510 as that's what I already had, and it was always slow and buggy. So I looked around and ended up fitting an Alpine ILX-702D unit, which has...

Thanks Hillbilly, much appreciated

Hi Hillbilly - yes, it does have NAV. I've inserted a pic of the dash below:

Thank you for your help.

Thanks Hillbilly, I will check that out. Do you know if it's a straight swap, or are there changes needed to the loom?

Hi all

I'm hoping the brains trust might be able to help with some advice. I've got a B7 Passat 130TDI Highline and the media unit has been slowly dying. The reverse camera often takes a few...

Yep. Got a second hand module installed for $1300. VW parts are criminally expensive!

Which is a $1300 part

It was the power module in the steering column

Auto electrician is stumped, it's with a vw/Audi specialist today. I'll let you know what they come up with.

Not sure what happened to my post. Why do you think they need replacing? It's not a difficult job, just need a 10mm think wall socket (total tools have them)

Thanks mate. I tested the fuse with a multimeter and it's fine. Taking it to an auto electrician to check as it's now beyond my capabilities to resolve I think.

I'm resurrecting this thread, as I still haven't fixed this!

Left side low beam works, right side doesn't. I bought a new ballast and installed on the left. Doesn't work. Swapped left and right...

Hi all, hoping for a bit of guidance.

Message popped up on the dash to check right low-beam headlight. Replaced bulb, still no good. Swapped bulbs from left to right. Both bulbs are good.

So,...

Thanks MIG, yes definitely a D3S bulb on my B7. I'll give it another go.
Cheers.

I'm trying to do this on my B7 passat. I can get the backing cover off ok, but the xenon bulb doesn't want to twist out - there is obviously something locking in place, any hints?

Oh my god, do I feel like an idiot. Thanks for clearing that up.

Apologies if this has been asked before. I looked through the manual but couldn't find anything.

On the dash display, in the top-left corner (opposite the gear indicator - D1, S2, etc) are some...

Yep. I think the dealers only have access to the VW branded one. Keep in mind that the premium may go up as the car ages / nears warranty expiry.

Read the PDS. The Swann warranty requires you to service at a dealership (read their definition of "authorised service facility" - it includes the word "franchise). The Allianz warranty lets you...

I read through the PDS of the Allianz 2 year VW branded extended warranty, and the Allianz generic 3 year extended warranty, and they're pretty much identical. Only real difference I could see if...

A dealer I spoke to today said that VW Australia is planning to scrap the Allianz underwritten extended warranty and replace it with a proper factory warranty extension all covered by VW. Has anyone...

Hi all,

Long time lurker, first time poster. About to buy a 2013 Passat for the missus, thought it was a good time to sign up. Great forum you have here.

Cheers
