Re: 2013 Passat coolant leak
Usual suspect is the water pump, they don't last as long as the cambelt interval suggests.

Re: Rear pad change
When i had my B7, i used Carista to put the calipers into service mode. From there i had to use a windback tool to press the calipers pistons the rest of the way back in. Once done, remember to take it out of service mode. Procedure on Page 55 (or 51 labelled on actual page) in the following PDF htt...

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: Keyless entry fault
Okeydoke. Get them to test the battery first, any garage worth their hourly rate will have a battery tester that will measure voltage, state of charge, state of health, and claimed capacity. If any of the figures are not what are stated on the battery label, then the battery is the first logical ste...

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.

Re: Keyless entry fault
Hi Welcome Where are you based? It will need a diagnostic session to find out what is the root cause of the issue. To me, it sounds like classic failings of the 12v battery (i've had same/similar symptoms til i replaced my battery) which can throw up errors for allsorts because the voltage/amps is n...

Re: B7 R134A Air Con Schrader valve type
Only thing to watch out for on the B7 is if the engine is fitted with the Delphi AC pump. They have a habit of shaking loose the shaft bolt that goes through the centre of the drive/shear plate. When this happens, the splines on the plate wear away and stop the pump from operating. VW will only repl...

Re: s-repair high voltage battery recall
I wouldn't worry about being 8k from your warranty exclusion.
In warranty or not, a recall overrides this. Its a safety concern and they have to rectify it

Re: Auto headlights not operating correctly
Basic Auto headlights are just that. Auto on or off. Adaptive headlights i believe, were only for LED headlights, and this feature was an optional extra. Adaptive lighting allowed for auto on-off, but also auto main/dipped beam depending on traffic and lighting conditions (i.e. main beam when no car...

I think thats just a software thing that his diag couldn't do. VCDS, OBDeleven, and Carista can do it. Anything built after 2021 on the new platform such as the ID3, Golf Mk8 etc, are all behind an SFD lock which requires the use of a diagnostic tool such as ODIS to get into the modules to perform s...

Re: B7 R134A Air Con Schrader valve type
The schrader on an AC system may look the same, but is different to one meant for tyres. The sealing material on the valve is designed to stay sealed at colder temperatures, which is something a tyre valve would fail at doing when the AC pipes start frosting over in use (not to mention causing loss ...

Re: B7 R134A Air Con Schrader valve type
Just do a search for "R134A Hi Low Pressure valve cores" There is a tool that can allow you to remove the core in-situ without loss of gas, but is quite pricey for what is likely going to be single use and more suited to an AC engineer. Alternatively, any AC workshop, should be able to rep...

Thanks for that. I am only 35 mins from Darlington so that could work out. These uniroyals have always been great in the wet but have they improved the wear rate?
