Just as an update to this for everyone else that may read it. I changed the rear motor, it appeared to be the same, obviously when removing the motor checked all the wiring which also seemed fine when tested with a multimeter etc. I went and bought an original parking brake switch from TPS and fitte...

There was no fault logged on mine, It's had various scans recently because of my EPB issue

I currently have a similar issue, I have narrowed it down to going over 2,500rpm in 5th or 6th gear. It then goes into limp mode, 2 lights on dash but when you restart all is good again.

Thanks passatsel230, I am following up on your PM

I am very new to these cars myself but I would start with those first.

I have inherited a 56 plate Passat (B6 I believe) 2.0 TDI Sport I have had the car a month or so and the previous owner hadn't driven it for a while as the brakes felt spongy. When I drove it away there was a LOT of pedal travel before the brakes di...
