Errors and then won't start!
Hi, I have a 2010 Passat Highline Diesel (140) and had a very odd issue with it yesterday. Driving back from camping in Devon and after about half an hour all the gauges, stereo etc all went off. I pulled over and tried to restart and the guages then flickered on and off randomly for a few minutes. ...

Re: Need new firmare RNS 310
I would really like some info on this too. I found some info a while ago which required burning some files to CDs at single speed using a specific Windows only program but, only having a Mac had no luck with it. There must be some of these CDs knocking about that people have either burned or bought....

Re: Passat B6 Custom LED DRL + Sequential Sweeping Indicators Complete
Hi mate, Love the lights, I am making a similar set with a set that slot very nicely into the original indicator lenses. Just wanted to ask if you had any issues with CANBUS errors or hyper flash (or did you use load resistors?) Also which fuse did you use to get switched live from the engine bay fu...

Re: Highline Lowering
Thanks for the info
How easy are the rear springs to fit? I understand the front ones are a bit of a faff but was thinking about doing the rears myself?
Also just noticed that the Eibach springs are 30mm lower, how good are the H&R 40mm ones in comparison?
Cheers, Steve

Highline Lowering
Hi guys, I am looking at lowering my 2010 Highline Plus on a budget and wondered what the options are. I was hoping to just replace the springs with 40mm lowered ones, what are good/bad/cheap ones to get? I have heard that swapping in the front springs can be a bit complicated but are the rears a jo...

Puff of smoke....
Hi guys, I have had my B6 (2010 Highline+ 140 Diesel) for about 18 months now with no problems but have noticed a couple of times recently a puff of white or grey smoke from the exhaust while driving. It doesn't seem to be when accelerating, the last time I was halfway round a big roundabout so may ...

Front bumper strips
Random question, I have a 2010 Highline Plus estate and want to remove the front bumper strips between the grille and indicators to repaint. From looking on Google and ebay you can buy replacement ones but when I removed the indicators it looks like they are part of the bumper and not a separate pie...

Euro LHD Inner Rear Fog Light Lens
Hi guys, Anyone know the cheapest place to buy a euro LHD inner rear fog light lens for the Passat Estate (i.e. without the red lens bit)? I have had a look on ebay.de but wondered if there was anywhere else/anyone selling one? Alternatively is it possible to remove the red bit from my existing lens...

"Free Health Check" during emissions recall...
Hi guys, Apologies if this has been discussed before but I thought it worth letting everyone know. I took my B6 estate in to VW (in Bath) at the weekend to have the emissions recall done and was told that they would do a free health check on the car while it was there. When I returned to the garage ...

RNS310 USB
Hi guys, I bought a 2010 Highline Plus Estate just before Christmas and am loving it. The satnav isn't amazing but is good enough, I was wondering if it is possible to add a USB port for music as the satnav uses the SD card slot so I have to swap them over if I want to listen to mp3s. I'm on a prett...
