I have a 150 A6 at present and it took 17 litres of adblue yesterday (after 5,600 miles). It's the same engine as the Passat. I'm 99.9% certain that it will require adblue. I hope I'm wrong but I reckon I'm not!

You're in for a disappointment then - the 150 requires adblue also.

Congrats! Do you have adaptive damping or regular shocks? If regular, how do you find it - any crashing?

Will do. I'm coming from an A6 - swapping badge for toys!

Good to hear! I'm getting my Highline SE Business on 18s this week and was getting a bit worried by some of those report re crashy noisy suspension.

I have the Dynaudio ordered and as far as I understand it I will still have a full-size 18'' alloy spare. How does the plug and play compare to the Dynaudio? I take it that it uses the stock speakers - mind you they're pretty damned good. Having heard the standard set-up I ordered the Dynaudio on th...

Lovely car - congrats. What is the plug and play system?

Just completed a 500 mile week long trip around Gloucestershire on holiday with our tungsten silver 2.0tdi 150 GT saloon. What a lovely car to drive. Quiet and extremely comfortable over varying road surfaces (with DCC in comfort and normal mode) with just my wife in the passenger seat, and four-up...

Congrats - looks really great! I also ordered Dynaudio and Premium LEDs so am interested in your comments on both esp. the Dynaudio. How is the bass and the sound quality at lower volumes? What music source are you using? Any comments will be very much appreciated. Best wishes with it.

I wonder what they'd charge to paint and fit.

Fair enough point! But honestly it is plenty especially in the mid-range. Let's face it not to many boy racers are going to be looking at a Passat at all - never mind a diesel.

Is that from a dealer? Painted and fitted?

The 150 is plenty. All the 190 will give you is more wheelspin.

The wait must be agony!

Hi Neil,
Did you get your car yet? How's it going?

I think the windscreen is the same on all the B8s. It's the rest of the windows that change if you go for the acoustic glass option. The windscreen is already acoustic glass as far as I know. What is causing your noise - are your sure the windscreen is properly sealed?

This is a bit scary for those of us with a car ordered. What are other owners experiences like?

When did you order?

Sounds good. Please keep us informed.

That will be really nice. What build week have they told you?

He wasn't wrong about the configurator but the Product Guide is generally accurate. My order went through as well. It was a week later when VW (not the dealer) came back and said you couldn't have the heated windscreen and Premium LED headlights. So what have you ordered now and have you got a build...

Looks fantastic. I have one ordered in that colour with St. Tropez Nappa and Sports Pack with Premium LED headlights. What do you think of the colour having seen it in the flesh? Also why are the headlight washers not the same colour as the car?

What colour combo are you going for?

What you get with the Business Edition is (8G1) High Beam control ''Light Assist'' which automatically switches between high and low beam. (PXX) Dynamic Light Assist is only available with the Premium LED headlight pack (WLH). The Dynamic Light Assist is a lot more complicated than Light Assist - it...

Fair enough but I only ordered the Heated Windscreen and Premium LED headlights, no Light Assist or Road Sign Recognition and I was told I couldn't have both together. How would the Heated Windscreen interfere with Premium LED Headlights?
