Re: Almost a Newbie Southwest Scotland
Porkies from the dealer on the cambelt. It was 5 years or 140k, whichever was reached first. It may well have changed to 10 years, but thats only recent. For that to change, they will have switched to a new type of belt or material to justify that length of time, but you can guarantee it wasn't fitt...

Re: Strange fault- multiple dash warnings.
VCDS will be needed. I'm going to put a £5 bet on it being an ABS sensor failing, as all these systems mentioned rely on being able to read all 4 wheel speeds. Although Aircon not available isn't usually a warning. Did you mean ACC Not Available? I'll admit i confused AC and ACC when i first got my...

Re: Abs module code
Hi. Just purchased a 2008 Passat with the dash kit up like a Christmas tree. Had it scanned and I've been told it's had a new abs module but not been coded. Obviously I've not got the code for the old one so it's they're any way around this? Cheers If you have VCDS, generate an AutoScan and post it...

Re: Hello everyone just a question about viezu
I was the same as you, found it gutless, but then found out it had had the Emissions update before i bought the car. That update does affect the driveability, notably pulling away and driving up-hill. The remap transformed it massively, much better power delivery low down the rev range, and better M...

Grab yourself one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B099F72PR4/?th=1 And follow this video. The front drains are in the same location, and the same procedure.

Re: Air Conditioning Fault 9481200
Is the centre bolt still there? Or is it gone/slightly loose? There's not normally any issues with these pumps apart from the shear plate wearing its splines when the centre bolt that locks it to the shaft becomes even remotely loose. Might look ok from the outside, but all is revealed once you take...

Thanks mrderv. Pipe looks ok and appears to drain correctly when I tried previously. I will try again.

Re: B8 R-Line Rain leak into boot
Copy and paste from your question on another forum: It will be the drain tube for the the boot handle. Same happened to me, it perished where it exits (just like this post: https://www.vwroc.com/forums/topic/36235-vw-boot-badge-drain-tube/ ), which means the tube allows rainwater to drain inside the...

Re: Sat Nav update
Not sure which unit you have.
If you search in ebay for your unit + navigation card (i.e. rns315 navigation card).
I believe V11 was the last version available, although there is one listing for v12 which would put it around 2018 being the last year these maps were available on the B7 platform.

Re: Sat Nav update
Maps are only available on SD card, so you're pretty much stuck with this unfortunately. Available cheaper on Ebay than direct from VW.
The newer B8 Passat maps are different (as well as the infotainment), and cannot be loaded on the B7 systems like the RNS315 or RNS510.
