Or get proper nav software for the job :

sat nav while towing

Does anyone know if the sat nav can be modified to be used whilst towing a caravan? She keeps trying to send me on unsuitable roads!

Problems with key fob

Hi - just replaced the battery on my key fob.

Car locks ok, but doesn't unlock car or boot.

Car starts ok with fob.

Other fob works fine.

Could it be the replacement battery is faulty?

Trim damage

The "chrome " trims on my windows have been damaged by cleaners using a spray of some sort in this hot weather. How easy are they to replace?

What do you guys use for cleaning the black plastic trim - e.g back of the boot where the catch is, seat sides etc?

60,000 service

The only schedule for 60,000 I can find shows oil and filter plus fuel filter.

When do spark plugs get changed?

Re: brake fluid service

Thanks guys - just an update.

Got another quote - £100 less for each tyre (same spec) and £20 saving on alignment.

Went back to main dealer who matched price!!

Annoyed that I would have been £250 worse off.

Good news - Vickie is back to her silent self :esm

Non franchise servicing

Hi Guys. I was in the trade all my life and always told people they should use franchise dealers for service. Now I am on the other side of the desk! Is there any reason why I can't use my local guy (who has regularly serviced my other car) now that my beloved Passat is out of warranty? This service...

sat nav update

I believe I have the RNS 310 system on my Passat Estate (the 315 is North America?).

Can I update this myself fairly easily?

Where is the SD card located?

what is this noise?

2013 Passat estate - Horrendous booming noise - worse at 52 mph and 70 mph. Is it tyres?? I was a mechanic and can confirm it is not a bearing or diff noise - changes with road surface, tyre pressures make no difference. Is the cure new tyres? There is some feathering on inside of rear tyres
