Sometimes i cant get into my passat wagon boot, ive tried the old open drivers door 1st thing but that doesnt work, i have a button on the drivers front door that has a picture of the boot on it but thats never worked, what does that actually do?? has anyone esle had this problem could it be the boo...

Drove over to leicester VW on saturday as mine has just started to get the rust spot coming through, so i thought ill try and get it sorted before the winter, they were very helpful and have said it will be done under warrenty, they said it should be fixable as its only small, but it any problems i....

wont open

every so often the boot wont open pressing either the button in the car or on the boot itself, anyone else had this problem, does it need a new catch??

i have the same problem, i rang a local scrap yard (vw) they said for the money just buy new ones from VW

I have an 06 plate wagon, had the injectors done on recal, so no worries there, drives lovely, pulls like a train even at motor way speeds will do early 50's mpg with a full car. i love it its a joy to drive would def recommend buying 1, mine is a pd engine so cant comment on what the cr drives like...

I have a faulty air con condenser and am wondering how easy it is to remove the old 1 and replace it with a new unit, a garage want £300 for the parts and labour, but if i could do it myself i could pick 1 up for about £60 then just get a garage to check for leaks and re gas??? any help please che...

Had my air con checked to see if any leaks yesterday, and it turns out its leaking through the matrix, which isnt the answer i wanted as my local ATS have told me it will be in excess of £300 for parts alone, anyone know of anywhere that maybe slightly cheaper cant justify that sort of money to kee...

p161a= glowplug open circuit
P161b= glow plug harness (faulty)


basically you need to change the glow plugs and or glow plug harness i would say

Ive had it do it my passat once when cruising at low revs with the cruise control on i got aslight judder, i just put it down to the the car tryin to pull of to quickly in 6th gear, ever since ive just made sure im doing atleast 70 mph before excellerating using the cruise control!!!

Im in the same boat, my father in law is a 30yr service mechanic and says he should be able to do it without vcd's usingh the above link, just dont want to go ahead and something goes wrong and end up costing me more than the £62 fitted that my local garage could fit them for, but i can get the rea...

How far are you driving?? diesel cars dont start off with great mpg, watch the mpg clock while driving the further you drive the better mpg you will get, for instance from my house to work is only about 7 miles, by the time ive done maybe 5 of those miles the mpg is prob only upto about 36ish by the...

See i have the same problem when i put what should be air con on, i.e orange light off norhing happens and i do not hear a clicking, does this mean its more of a fuse issue than a re gas issue?? where is the air con fuse situated its not something ive never needed to look for before, my little polo'...

one of my clips snapped i used tape to hold it up, lazy!!!

i believe if you lift the tray the covers the spare wheel there are some fixings in the boot, i think that will clip into it and stop sut cases etc from moving about??

EBAY!! cheap as chips they just screw into the carpet, if ya mats have ovel or round clips you can buy either!!!!

i have a b6 wagon which should run on 215 55 r16 xl, however i have changed all 4 corners to 205 55 r16 i think v rating never had any problems but i dont carry much weight about rear tyres have been on 4 over 2 yrs still got plenty of tread, plus alot cheaper than 215 xl's too!!!

He didnt state what he was going to pull, most people just presume a caravan or trailer, in which the b6 saloon is more than capable of pulling either and the 170 greater so!!

a friend of mine has a 2ltr tdi 170 and pulls his caravan no trouble, he said it pulls lika a train!!

The way i see it now adays, unless your thinking of trading your vehicle in any time soon, mine being an 06 plate passat wagon, i cannot see the point in spending shed loads of money on stealer services, yeah so the book is stamped but in a vehicle thats is now 6 yrs old with over 100,000 miles on t...

Take a chance on me by ABBA Feb 1978!!

cool cheers will give that a go then when i get home from work!!

Anyone know of a good free mp4-mp3 converter tool i could download??

cheers

try ebay search, b6 passat breaking, your bound to find 1 on there

Im also running 205 55 r16's myself the tyre price for the 215's was just too much considering im getting through a set of fronts at least once a yr, the rears seem to be ok but all the weight on the b6 wagons is obviously at the front due to the heavy diesel engine, you wont notice any diff apart f...
