In Line Thermostat (DSG)

HI Guys, I have a 2011 Passat CC - 2.0 TDI 170 with CFGB engine (DSG). Its struggling to reach temperature - takes a good 10 miles or so. Did a search and it appears to be a common issue with the DSG models. I believe the part number for the replacement thermostat is 1K0121113A. However, i rang up T...

Coolant Leak

OEM number plate LED's

Hi Guys, Going through the last brochure (1 October 2011) for the Passat CC, it states that the number plate lights are LED if the Bi-Xenon option is purchased. My Passat CC was registered June 2011. It has the Bi Xenons option but only has regular (halogen) number plate lights. Anybody else with fa...
