UKPassats

On the 2015 GT estate I had (now part-exed for a 2023 Passat estate) I changed to Continental AllSeasonContact, which I was very happy with.

make sure your mirror dial is switched to L No, doesn't do it on mine and the option under Setup isn't there (I think the option was only available with the fully electric memory seats). The mirrors fold on locking. Just interested to know if the mirror dip has been added to the basic equipment.

I'd also be interested to know if the passenger door mirror dips on reverse - I expected the mirror to dip on my GT and it doesn't, which I thought was a bit mean.

Anyone got any feedback on the Active Info Display?

I see that (for the UK, at least) it's now a standard fit item on the GT model.

Rear fog lights. There seems to be two groups of people when it comes to rear fog lights - people who like two and people who are happy with the one light. I'm in the 'two light' group, so, as it's been real foggy in my part of the UK in the last couple of days I'm going to look into getting the nea...

the instructions say just passenger door,but on my passat I had to enable on the driver door too. OK, braved the cold and had another try. Both doors took the code. But when I got to this bit:- STG adjustment -> function 10 Select (15) Access Control 2-drawdown at Rueckwaertsfahrt (17!!!!) DONE,BUT...

Ohh, didn't try the drivers door - I'll have another go.

Well, no joy on the mirror dip option - looks like the passenger door doesn't have the memory facility - took the code changes, but mirror didn't dip on reverse. I'll take a screen grab of the option page, maybe you have different software in your instrument cluster. This is a screengrab of the long...

before anything, did you do adaption channel maps? No, the changes I was making were small, but, you're right, it's a good idea. for some reason, i can not enable the needle sweep on my passat :/ I'll take a screen grab of the option page, maybe you have different software in your instrument cluster.

Did two VCDS mods today:- 1) Needle sweep on startup (speedo and rev counter). 2) Climate control fan speed showing in Auto mode. Both small items and not world changing, but I'm pretty cautious in how I do things. Tomorrow:- Planning on looking into getting the passenger door mirror to dip on rever...

OK, thanks - now we know.

hello,do you have VCDS cable? i could use some help with kessy. i have 'keyless GO' and the alarm system 'PLUS'. but I dont know if I can enable keyless entry. Yes, I've got the VCDS cable. If you're looking to retro-fit keyless entry and locking then I think you'd at least need to change the four ...

Surely there is a problem if both their configurator and price list include Dynamic Light Assist and I and others have ordered on that basis? Well, I queried whether DLA was included as the configuator didn't put the cost down to £0 when the Vision and Communications Pack was added (all of the oth...

The car was ordered with the 'Vision and Communications' pack, but I've been through all the menu options and I can't find how to turn on the 'Dynamic Light Assist' - need to check with the original salesman as I was assured that this was included in the Pack. OK, now been informed that the Dynamic...

The driver's side panel has the part numbers 3G1 867 012 and 3G2 867 012 - searching the Internet returns a page with a diagram of the door panel trim with the panel door having different part numbers of 3G0 867 393 for the left hand door and 3G0 867 394 for the right hand door. The thingy has a par...

Anyone ever work out what the plastic thingy is for?

Yep, those look right and are in the Passat price list, the part numbers I quoted were for the B7, which most people on the Internet are advertising for the 'Passat'.

Thanks - I'll have to look further into the part numbers.

Does anyone know if the following VW part numbers are correct for the rubber floor mats for the B8 footwells?

I assume the mats for the estate are the same as for the saloon.

Front set: 3C2 061 501 A 041

Rear set: 3C2 061 512 82V

Thanks in advance.

The Stop/Start on the Passat is different to the Golf I have. On the Golf, after the car comes to a halt and if you keep your foot on the brake then the engine stops. On the Passat the engine cuts out before the car rolls to a stop and then the brakes come on when the car has actually stopped - a bi...

Picked up a GT190 Estate yesterday. Original salesman not available, stand-in salesman had called in sick, third salesman called in at two minute's notice and seemed relieved when I didn't ask too many questions about the car. First impressions good, the load area is bigger than the B7 estate it rep...

Received my Stage 6 text message last Thursday morning so my GT was likely on the same ship.

Interesting, didn't know that the direct wheel sensors had batteries.
Likely to need new valves when the tyres are replaced every few years and, also, the tyre people (in my experience) always want to fit new valves rather than re-use valves.

There are two tyre pressure systems, the direct version uses sensors in the tyre valves (no batteries) and the other uses the ABS sensors to look at the speed of each wheel. If you have the tyre pressure display on the dashboard, then you have the direct system (the tyre valves also look different t...
