I used a 128gb usb memory stick in mine, had about 60gb on it. Not easy finding an album whilst on the move, but worked perfectly. Unfortunately I needed an estate so swapped my B7 Passat for a Toyota Avensis at work. The Toyota has no usb port which is just one of the many reasons why I prefer the ...

Hi All

Does anyone know if VW have any plans on fitting the newer 150PS TDi engine as fitted in the new Golf and A3 into the Passat?

Sorry, I can't help myself but my towbar with 13 pin electrics was fitted by John from www.jwtowbars.co.uk

He did a great job (for a very reasonable price) - I would suggest give him a call, I'm sure he can help. I don't think he used an vehicle specific wiring.

Mine was that shiny once....

Hi, I'm sure if you speak to your dealer or local towbar fitter they will sort it out. I had an aftermarket towbar fitted, PCT detachable with 13 pin electrics. It was £350 fitted and powers the fridge etc. But it won't work with the ESP as I'm sure yours will if it is a factory fit.

Can't comment on the handbrake in the B6, but mine in the B7 is excellent. I use the auto hold and to be honest just forget about it and never manually use the hand brake. It releases when I drive off (do not have to press footbrake) and comes on when the car is stopped dead. Its forced me never to ...

Now the good news - In the meantime VW Labs have released a bit of kit that can utilise the SD card socket to load in destinations and addresses from google maps and hence full 7 digit postcode searches etc. I've not been able to get the interface to work in internet explorer but it works a treat i...

This is how I upgarded it....

Let me know if you have any luck with the dealer

Just wandering if anyone else has any annoying rattles on the car. Mine seems to have a rattle that comes from the silver trim in the dash between the speedo and the air vent. Drives me up the wall, but the misses says she can hardly hear it!

There is an option in the set up menu on the onboard computer for the lights. As default it is ticked, I've not unticked it but assume that it will turn the lights off. I got flashed yesterday by by another driver, spent the next few minutes looking for a speed trap or a hazard, but reckon he was tr...

I believe it may be possible, but no idea how! Please let me know if you figure it out

I've had my car for a month now and have covered about 3,000 miles so thought I would post my thoughts on the RNS 315. I'll start with the positives.... Its very easy to use, sounds good and has lots of features. My daughter loves the fact that she can connect her ipod touch via bloototh, I prefer t...

Hi Bravohix I can't comment on the 1.6, but I've had my car (2.0tdi (140) Sport) for almost 3 weeks and have covered 1,500 miles. Really pleased, the engine feels a lot looser now than it did at first and suits the car well. Personally I wouldn't mind a little more grunt (but then I think I would sa...

I was sceptical when I got my first diesel car a few years back (2005 Mondeo), but unless I was in the market for a sports car I don't think I'd go back to petrol now. Old diesels may have been noisy and slow. But the modern tubo charged diesel is a totally different car and a lot faster than you wo...

Hi All, I'm new to the forum so hello to everyone. I ordered my car back in November last year and evetually took delivery this week. I can't believe how long its taken but I understand that this is an issue with the sport model due to the different fabric on the seats? Its a 2.0Tdi Sport (140) salo...
