hilarious replies, thanks all!

I'll definitely check the door seals.

Thanks Ben, this will do for now untill I find out the main reason why there is condensation inside.

It's probably a faulty seal on one of the doors.

Hi, has anyone had any issues with the inside of the windscreen misting? This morning the outside of the windscreen was frosted which was normal given the temperature was -2 but the inside of the window also had a thin layer of ice.

Please let me know of any advice.

Thanks

Fantastic, thanks.

I think it is ET47.

Hi, would anyone know if Audi TT Alloys 17" 2011 would fit a Passat Estate B6 2008?

Thanks

Hi, I have just purchased my Passat B6, when stationery and I accelerate at good speed I get a large amount of black smoke appear from the exhaust. Any idea what this could be? This only happens on the initial hard acceleration after car has been started and after that it is fine.

Mechanism has arrived, how do I remove the upholstery from the original mechanism and transfer over? I can see that there are 4 screws needs removing, but unsure how to get to them.

Really easy to do, I bought the mechanism off Ebay and will swap them over.

I'm just glad I didnt have to take the centre console apart.

Thanks for this, I try this over the weekend. I should be able to get the mechanism from salvage.

Any ideas in how to take the arm rest off the console to inspect?

it feels like a cog is just dropping down. Do you know of a part number?

Hi, I have just aquired a 2007 B6 Estate Passat.

The only issue so far which I have with the car is the armrest. When I set it to desired angle, after a short period it keeps dropping from the latch.

Any ideas on how to repair this? or is it a swap out for a new one?

Yes, looks like the mechanism is stuck and when I push down on the button it's not releasing the clip.

Tried that, it seems to be jammed.

Hi, I have just purchased a Passat B6 2007. The rear cover that is attached in the boot does not come off. It expands and retains inside the comparment fine. If I press the clip on the right hand side it is stiff. I have tried to press it down but still no joy. Any ideas how I can take it off? Thanks.

30th is good with me also, where will the meet be?

I am definitely interested, where will the meet be and when?

thanks for helping everyone, worth a try.

Problem I have is that the button is not locking the car. lol

I have just tried the battery no difference at all.

could the battery cause a button not to light up when pressing ( the rest of the 2 buttons work fine)?

damm, thanks, worth asking.

I have managed to open the fob to the battery section, but the remote buttons are on the other side. How can I remove out of the other half shell so I can diagnose if the fault is with the button or with the switch?

Thanks

Hi, I am interested also, I have a Passat 140bhp 2008. I am based in the Midlands area.
