Re: Bumper cut out

https://www.facebook.com/ACretrofitting/posts/1237901489625134 Not sure where my post went. You need a frame inside the bumper too. Seems the same as the b7.

Re: light knocking driver side front suspension

I had something like this, it sounded as if it was coming from behind the dash, I was topping the screen wash up and noticed at the back on the engine, near the wing there is a thread and nut that the bonnet hinges rest on when shut. It had a perfect line on it, added a bit of grease and all quiet n...

Re: Estate towbar - r line

Sorted, think it's got to be one of only a select few r lines with a towbar.
Vw said bumper needs replacing for standard one !
But this place checked into it ordered a part rear skirt and sorted the whole thing.

Re: B7 Highline Passatt running fast

Faster idle could be because you set the heaters to hot, I have noticed this that my car picks up the revs by few 100 revs when heat dial set to max heat, I guess the car is trying to warm it up quicker for you.
Have you had car long ?

Estate towbar - r line

Hi all, Just had a towbar fitted to r line estate. The fitters called saying that they needed to cut a massive section out the rear valence. Because the r line is rounded it's going to be seen. The standard rear valence is flat so cutting it you don't see it. I am looking to get the cover from the a...

Re: Coming/leaving home lights

If it's like my b7 then VW changed the setting and to activate you need to pull main beam stick to activate. This is different to my wife golf where if lights had been on and you get out the lights stayed on. Simple change in vcds but not sure on the b8 but defiantly was on my b7 to return the funct...

Re: B7 2.0tdi what mods to increase mpg?

My two my Passat and wife's golf are not going in to VW. Some garages are refusing to to it so I have heard now. Rather wait. From where I am I love the cars and happy the way they are. The golf power delivery seems different to the Passat but it's a lighter car. Until it's mandatory I am not going ...
