Re: Leaking Panoramic Roof Estate Sport

Hi folks - a little late to the party. Exactly the same symptoms as mentioned previously. Been ongoing for over a year in my VW Passat estate 2012. I had initially assumed it was the sunroof and after opening and cleaning around the seals etc, attempted to close it...the sunroof wouldn't close and ...

Re: Pan roof leak

Only other advise I have on the roof is in one of my other posts earlier this year. Keep the seals and mechanism well greased/lubed up as it can get stuck and struggle to close then needs resetting .. mines 2012 aswell

Re: Pan roof leak

What was the outcome ? did it ever leak again ? I did have trouble with it for a while after first getting but has been fine(touch wood) for ages now. I think the main problem was a blockage in the drain pipes so the water backed up and then leaked into the car .. I cleared from under the bonnet on...

Re: First mod to my Passat b7 estate

That's the 1.6 I drove yesterday, clutch was very weird, seemed to rev for days then bite very high up, the top of the back bumper where you load things in and out was scratched to bits and there was a ding on the edge of the rear passenger door that couldn't be repaired, apart from all that it was...

First mod to my Passat b7 estate

You know what? I've not even been to see it because the garage have yet to ring me and tell me it's back in site, last I heard on Saturday it was still at an MOT centre awaiting parts, I've heard nothing since. I've half talked myself into a B8 though, last night I put my CC on autotrader (gonna ad...

Re: Post Fix fuel consumption

It's voluntary at the mo and not planning on getting mine done unless forced to. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Not worth the risk in my eyes

First mod to my Passat b7 estate

I'm really torn with getting another B7 or a lesser spec B8 at the moment, I love my CC but it's just to small for a growing family. Tomorrow I'm going to look at a 1.6tdi SE B8 estate after recently having one as a courtesy car (2.0 though) and I'm also going to view a B7 estate 2.0tdi in black wi...
