No, fancied a change anyway. Had it nearly 5 years.

Thanks. Appreciate its was dealership prices but in March it is 5 years old an needed a minor service, MOT, cam belt change, suggested water pump change, brake fluid change all in all in was going to cost over £1000. There were other options such as VW's "All In" service plan which include...

Found it, thanks.
Flipping heck!!

Anyone got any rough idea of what a cam belt changes costs at a dealership on a 2018 1.4TSi?

Interesting. The dealership picked this up on mine and they are doing it under warranty. Maybe a common problem?

Great post. Silly question probaby. Does the cigarette lighters still work? I use mine for phone charging.

I use SpeedCheetah. One off payment. Its basically a database that warns of fixed camera's, mobile speed check locations, etc. Can be a bit erroneous in places like warning of a 30 mph potential mobile camera while still outside the 30 mph zone but overall its ok. Probably best in built up areas. Mo...

Complete failure, even the parking brake doesnt come on. Relying on Park (its an auto) to hold it on my sloping drive, oh and a brick in front of a wheel as a bit of insurance. Its going in on Friday under warranty so hopefully get sorted but thought I'd post with the info. The dealership said never...

As there was no damage and said cover was simply "missing", they have agreed to replace under warranty. Bit of a relief as these things can sometimes have unforeseen costs.

I don't know what it should look like underneath but all seems to be present.
I'll try and post a piccy tomorrow.
Do these things just fall off or does it require some sort of intervention?

Hi All, this is on a 2018 Passat R-Line.

Just noticed that the offside headlight washer cover is missing.

Anyone know if this is something that just clips on that I can replace myself or does it need a dealer? Car is still under warranty.

Ta.

Sure I read Honest John saying that there have been reports of early failure of the mini clutches on DSG's due to disabling stop start causing excessive wear. I sometimes wonder whether he makes it up, but sure it was said. Also sure I tried putting mine in neutral and it turned off the auto hold or...

It seems to only mute the first part of the route instruction, the mute then cancels but the second part of the instruction, which would be another sound file, is still to play. I guess all satnav instructions are cocatinated sound files in some way, but dont get the mute / unmute problem on the nat...

You know the way that the navigation instructions are broken down into the common commands? For example: 1.At the next roundabout ...... 2.Turn right etc. If I have music playing the system only mutes the sound for the first command, the second command is then drowned out by whatever is playing comm...

I think we are saying the same thing but just in case ..... on mine I can't cancel the wrongly selected destination, I have to allow it to calculate the wrong route then go into routes, cancel route guidance and start again.

Anyone any idea how you cancel an erroneously selected destination at the stavecwhere you are prompted to select which route you want?
At the moment I have to select one then cancel it. No option to cancel before that as far as I can see.

Ok thanks dubber, glad its not a fault.l

..... or to be more correct rear fog light!

Is it the case that only the offside rear fog works or have I got a fault?

Ta.

Well, on refelection, it looks black from a distance but the black is formed by a series of squares on a silvery backdrop. Hopefully the links below work ok and explain what I mean. I think it could look black or silver depending on light / reflections etc. https://photos.app.goo.gl/kMC4EqjNkUkCRriH...

Did Skynet work, if so then its nothing like it!

Was it the way I asked or does nobody use VW Car-Net?

If you use Car-Net would you mind replying to this post indicating the following please. - whether you have a problem connecting: - if you have a problem the error message that you get: - how you connect ie mobile hotspot on your phone or something else: - who the internet service provider is: Thanks.

My mode always goes back to Normal and the active display displays D accordingly. Interestingly the Infotainment screen still (wrongly) shows the previous mode, a bug that I have reported to VW and demonstrated to a techie. To get to another mode I have to press the Mode button again.

Yes my demo was in a GTE. I wanted an idea of performance and that was all they had with that engine, they did all they could to disable the electrical assistance (let the battery go flat and something else that I took their word for) and was happy with the performance. I am pleased with the perform...

Only had it a week so getting used to it. I had a 63 plate 140 bhp 2.0 TDI before and think its a bit quicker than that but its not a "quick" car. If you are looking for something to burn off others at the lights I dare say most many motors will be the same or quicker if they are 180+ bhp ...
