Re: Have we seen the end of built-in Traffic information?
I tried a few times to update the maps. Never got them to stick, despite VW confirmed I was using the correct file

Re: Cabin Blower
I agree, I’ve owned mine almost 5 years, but still remember that it either is more efficient and quieter at low speeds or that they have reduced efficiency to run at lower volumes. I think it’s the latter.

Re: Steering wheel upgrade options?
A good job there, I’m happy with my B8 steering wheel, however if I had very large hands I see the benefit of your mod. Well done!

Sadly, I don’t think you can. I tried a few times asked at the dealership (when still 18 months old) they had no idea, no surprises for anyone there, looked at other forums no positive answer

Re: Travel to Europe - Headlights, bulb kit etc.

Re: VW emissions update
I've received the letter asking me to book in, tbo I'm inclined to wait for more reports on this, don't want to lose the remap as I'm very happy with the way it runs and the mpg (summer figures all year round would be nice)

Re: Temperature
mine seems to have a fast heat option fitted, I get warm air after about 5/6 minutes, just turn the heat all the way over and as if by magic warm air, the coolant temp still takes ages to catch up - must be some sort of pre heat going on.......

Re: Thinking of a re-map
I'd recommend it, my 140 cr had a stage one about two years ago, mid range torque is greatly improved. making overtaking easier and safer, provided I can drive normally the mpg is a little better, of course a heavy right foot will change that result

Re: Emissions Recall - Anyone done it yet?
I can't see how they can fix this without there being some sort of side effect somewhere and it's unlikely to be a benefit to the owners, bar the less emissions which it should have had in the first place.

Re: Wiper scratches on fancy windscreen
There is a different type of heated windscreen available for the Passat with no visible wires. If you google 'VW climacoat windscreen' you can read about it. Not cheap but it does away with the heating element wires and also has the bonus of reflecting heat away from the cabin on hot, sunny days. D...
