Issue with particulate filter light on dash
As above I have had the laptop on the car and it shows the exhaust to be fine, I have got an after market swith fitted but my mechanic is saying it is returing to the laptop and not switching the light off, in your experiences would a genuine Vw work?

Hydronic something?
My car won't start and my mechanic says it's because of the hydronic 4 something or other, I have Googled it and car heaters come up, would a car heater not make the car start?

Which is best engine?
Just had my 2008 Passat back from having a reconditioned engine, I know know from being on the forum that Bxe 2006-2011 engines were not mm much good. Would engines after 2011 be better? Or is there a spacific engine that is better than all others for the Passat.

is a bxe engine worth remapping
just finishing having a replacement engine fitted to my Passat estate and was wondering if it is worth getting it remapped from 105bhp, I only ask because looking through the forum it seems that the b6 2006 -2011 engine is the biggest pile of poo that ever graced the earth,
thanks
thanks

Re: Where do I stand with garage
It's a second hand engine from a donor vehicle, all the new parts off my old engine have been swapped, before joining the forum I did not realise that there were so many common faults with passats!

Re: Where do I stand with garage
Well the car is coming back this week after a full engine swap! Now the car is a 105 bhp and not knowing anything about remaps, is it possible to remap the car? Which remap is best?

Re: Where do I stand with garage
Still no car. Because the the car is at a garage 30 minutes away I don't have access to the number, as of Friday a new engine was purchased and hopefully this week have it fitted, I'm then told the turbo will need to be looked at for damage, I will be glad when it's all over,
