Hi all I'm super stuck. My boot wasn't opening. I could hear the solenoid when I was pushing the button key fob and handle etc. But still won't open. Went into the boot and tried the plastic manual release under the warning triangle. Still wouldn't open. And then I eventually broke the white plastic...

Hi all. Can someone let me know if I can upgrade my 2015 radio to the apple carplay one?
My one only has the mirrorlink. (Which I haven't unlocked) so I don't know if I can software update it etc?
Or so need a new unit?
Thank you in advance

Hi all. I'm about to fetch a 2015 passat GT Estate. 2ltr 150bhp manual. And I can't wait. I had a passat sport previously (I have a seat leon untill tomorrow) and I loved it. Anyway. It's done 60k and I want in running perfect before I take it for a remap. Will a Terraclean do the job or any other s...

Hi all. I have a 2007 b6 Passat sport. And ever since I bought the car 6 years ago, I wanted a mfsw. I was wondering if I can covert my existing steering wheel as I've seen the buttons only on eBay for about £50 or do I need a whole new wheel. Thanks for your help and advice in advance.

Hi again lee.
I've thought a air lock but it's still the same! I can't think what it could be?

Hi again. I'm sure I only come on here with my problems, but here goes. My coolant system/tank looks low and the low level warning comes on the dash. But when I release the cap, the pressure releases and tank goes back to a normal level. But when it looks low, you can the feel the coolant pipes etc,...

Hi guys, im thinking of blanking my egr? My initial thought was just blank it off and get it deleted in the map etc. But after looking i found the darkside kit http://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/darkside-1-9-8v-pd105-2-0-16v-tdi-pd-ppd-and-cr-egr-delete-race-pipe.html I think that's it? ...

Hi guys, I have a 2007 passat tdi 170bhp dsg.
I think my turbo is a bit dodgey and was looking at the cost of replacing it. But was wondering are there any hybrid I could use.
I have a remap and dpf removed already.
Thank you.

That's interesting? Just the gasket would be amazeballs. I was hoping someone else had this problem. Or if someone had done the repair.

New to the forum but thought it would be good opportunity to get some pics up. As she was 2mths ago when i picked her up. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww10/browner_t4/011.jpg And how she sits now...much better :D http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww10/browner_t4/DSC_0405.jpg http://i700.phot...

Hi, just thought I'd give people a heads up incase they have the same problem, and ask for advise the same time. As I posted previously, my car was running okish until hitting 3/4000rpm where it would just hold on to the revs until it dropped down a gear (dsg). Long and short of it I have oil in wit...

Update. Egr gasket changed, car still missing/holding onto revs. But seems smoother other than that. But........ It turns out its my hp fuel/vacum pump. I have oil in my fuel from where its leaking in. I didn't think when I changed my fuel filter and it was black. Doh! So I'm going to order one and ...

Hi guys, does anyone know if a golf gti grill can fit my b6 passat please? Thank you.

I had/have a similar problem. My b6 judders/sticks between 3-4000 rpm etc. it's in my mechanics at the moment, who checked everything out and seems to think the problem is egr related. Actually they think it might be a new type egr gasket needed. As vw have changed the diameter hole in the gasket fr...

When the coolant warning comes on, the coolant looks low but when I release the cap it rises a inch or two back to normal level etc? That's not normal is it?

Hi guys my coolant warning has been coming on lately as its low. But when I open the cap I hear a release of pressure and the coolant rises back to normal again? I've tried running the car from cold for 10mins with the fans on and cap off. Even tried it parked up on steep hill. Any ideas please? Arg...

Hello, I have a b6 passat 2007, and I've only got the rds300. But I was looking to upgrade it to something that has the ability to have proper oem hands free etc if practicable. and mp3/aux input. Just wondered if there was a vw model I could buy to satisfy me? Or should I buy a after market. Any ad...

Hi guys, my 2007 170 tdi dsg was fitted with a k&n induction kit but my wife was complaining that she didnt like the noise. So like a good husband i decided to put the original box back on. Anyway, since that the car has now developed a problem that when driving hard at (3500rpm - 4000rpm isn) i...

Could someone tell me what I need to buy to use vagcom with my b6 passat please? Can I just buy a cable as my friend has some vagcom software. Could someone please maybe send a link to eBay or somewhere cheap. Thank you very much!

hi guys, thank you for your continuing help. But as a foot note, i forgot to say that when i got it remapped first i had the dpf removed in with the map it had 164bhp at the wheels so then when i had the dpf physically removed (a few days later) and put it back on the rolling road it was still 164bh...

well it was done with www.dnatuning.com software at a tuning place near me. But they didn't give any indication of why they couldn't get more out of her? And yes the dpf was removed with the remap. Also as i noticed that there is no smoke coming from my exhaust? I was expecting a fair bit, but nothi...

well i have such a car. 2006, black. only owned it for a few weeks so just started on it. I have a induction kit, dpf removed and ecu remap so fa (Only 200bhp should be about 220bhp?)r. But my plans are to push the engine a bit more then work on the handling and then the exterior. What have you done...

i thought it was possible with a remap and dpf removal to get at least 220? How do i find what ecu i have please?
thank you.

Hi everyone, can someone please help. A few weeks ago i bought a 2006 B6 Passat estate 170 tdi DSG. Anyway i first had a remap where i also had the dpf removed in with the remap, where i had 164bhp at the whhels on the rolling road (193bhp) i then obviously removed the dpf expecting a increase in hp...
