I've still got the A5 front camera to fit, as well as the LTE antennas. I've also collected a few more items - the PLA3.0 park assist module and sensors and the Bosch side radar modules for side assist. They'll all be going in sometime soon, should be fairly high spec by the time I'm done with that ...

MIB2.5 is easy to fit but you'll need ODIS to code it to the car to get around component protection. There are hacks available to do this too but I wanted it done properly so paid a local specialist for this bit. Once it was coded to the car I finished off activating all the correct features in VCDS...

What is the error?

If you've got access to VCDS or OBDEleven it would be useful to see a scan then we can help diagnose.

Started de-chroming it now. Gonna leave the badges and perhaps the exhaust trim chrome but everything else is getting wrapped.

I did most of the front grill today, already looking better I think

It's certainly a lot of fun, and pretty economical considering the performance. My wife has a Golf R and the Passat costs significantly less to run, is more practical and isn't a lot slower :mrgreen: The Active Info Display and MIB 2.5 Discover Pro retrofit is now complete :mrgreen: https://i.imgur....

And a pic from today with the black mirror covers

I've had the BiTDi for a few months now and am really enjoying it. So far I have done the following: - Remapped engine and DSG, now running 295bhp and 580Nm - Lowered on Eibach Pro Kit springs, original DCC dampers - Roof vinyl wrapped black - Black wing mirror covers - Highline Reverse camera retro...

I've been told the wheels need refurbishing so I've asked for them to be painted gloss black. I've also asked for them to cover the cost of wrapping the roof gloss black and am looking in to Eibach pro kit lowering springs. If it all comes off it'll look ace

I would suggest you open a case with VW UK customer care. They will then phone you once a week, offer very little in the way of advice, and eventually agree with whatever outcome the dealer decides upon :-bd Seriously though that's not acceptable and I'd be really suprised if VW don't help you out o...

Long time no type :) I bought my R-Line 190 SCR estate back in 2016, it's been a great car overall but not without its faults. The 6-speed DSG gearbox shifts gears continuously at around 30mph as soon as the temperature approaches freezing and the media unit plays up occasionally, but other than tha...

140 views and no replies - I'm guessing DSG faults aren't all that common then :-P VW had my car for a couple of days and were unable to trace or replicate the fault. To be fair it's only misbehaved the once, if it does it again I'll try and get it over to them so they can witness it. In the mean ti...

Hi all, Wondered if anyone has had any issues with their DSG 'box? On my way in to work yesterday morning with the engine cold and cruising at 30mph the gearbox changed between 3rd and 4th about 15-20 times within a mile. it was changing gear 2 or 3 times per second at times, the display literally f...

Nice R , the sat nav can be overzealous . https://i.imgur.com/uJunhhY.jpg :D I saw that in the news, they must've been travelling to manage that haha. Popped in with the wife today to finalise the deal. Fortunately she loves the car so she's signed on the dotted line and we're collecting it on Frid...

So wifey did this to our Astra yesterday.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/johnbiss/IMAG1669.jpg Both her and the chap driving the other car are fine, no injuries which is the main thing. Just two written off cars to deal with :roll: We got confirmation the Astra was dead this morning so th...

Mine does it too. Irritating but I've rearranged the keys on my key ring and it seems to happen less now :roll: Seems like a fairly basic error for a company that have been making keys for such a long time :roll: The lock and unlock buttons are recessed further and never get accidentally pushed - wh...

I've just finished installing my 412GW, I used a nextbase hard wiring kit and piggybacked off the 12v socket / ciggy lighter fuse in the fusebox behind the passenger glovebox (fuse 40, it should have a 20A fuse in the socket).

All working perfectly and all wires tucked out of sight

Lovely , can't beat old Jap sports cars . Got a same age Jap coupe myself . Yeah they're a bit special - they don't make them like they used to :esm What have you got? I'd like an RX7 one day if I can convince the wife :twisted: Figured I should put a few more pics of the Passat up since that's wha...

It's an SiVTEC LSD model so it's the JDM variant of the 2.2 VTEC engine

That Passat looks posh, is it a company car or did you part with your own hard earned for it? The 'onda looks very very interesting. It's much more posh than I'm used to that's for sure..! It's not a company car, I used my pennies to buy it from my local VW garage through the Das Welt Auto used car...

Hi all, nice forum you have here. I think it will come in useful :mrgreen: I picked up my first VW on Thursday, a '15 plate Passat R Line estate with the 190PS 2.0TDi engine and 6 speed DSG gearbox. I'm impressed with it so far but will no doubt have some questions as I start to play with it a bit m...
