Re: Passat Alltrack

Hi all, I appreciate I'm late to the party on this but... I have a 2013 alltrack, 140 6 speed manual, my fourth Passat and it's great, it isn't the quickest or loaded with all the toys but it is a great car to tow with, very sure footed, not bad fuel economy and I've just had it serviced at 34,000 o...

Re: Warranty question

As I understand it as long as the car has followed the service schedule, by an approved garage the warranty should still be valid

Re: Passat 2011 B7 issues

Hi Phil,

I've read on VCDS users on fb this can be caused by the abs plug terminals corroding
Have you tried Ross techs wiki site for more info ?

Re: Alltrack

I kind of agree about the price,however I've come back to the Passat and VW after having my head turned by an Audi A4 Avant Black Edition, I previously had a B7 Saloon but really needed an estate, the Audi looked stunning and the LED headlights really set it off but when a gove box light is part of ...

Hi Guys
Im considering buying an Alltrack, i just need a couple of answers to my questions
Is the needle sweep standard on the Alltrack when you insert the key? also the cornering lights dont work, has someone been tinkering with VCDS ?

Re: 2 years down the line

Hi All,
Myself and the B7 have parted company, I swear I had a lump in my throat, tho I've not completely left the fold I've changed for an Audi A4Avant Black Edition, was this a wise choice....time will tell, keep on enjoying the B7 chaps
