I had the same problem with both door mirrros - I am not sure the heavy winters have helped- I did not realise they had a heating element built in - I opted for the garage to replace the mirror with a new one and it came with the heating element - a useful enough thing to have in the winter months- ...

Thank you for this - I have a 2005 Passat estate diesel - my pride and joy - and I now find there is a water leakage problem in the driver's front footwell and behind the drivers' seat - I was appalled to find a virtual resevoir of water soaked up by the mat in the back behind the driver's seat - an...

It does not really burn that much oil (only if you are doing high spe...

I have just picked up my Passat estate trendline today. It has 66000 miles one owner - managed to record 57 mpg at one stage on the motorway in the slow lane at 40mph in fifth gear - was really surprised to see it record this - but even 45mpg is good. it is incredibly well equipped with both a radio...

hi, my name is Patrick - I have just joined. I have just bought a Passat estate trendline diesel- I hope to pick it up later this month. I think it would be a Mark 5.5 B Platform with the PD 100 bhp engine. It seems to have everything.
