Re: Have we seen the end of built-in Traffic information?
My late 2019 (2020 model) Passat reports traffic info on the mapping screen. I did have to pay after three years following initial "free" period. Is that by using the paid subscription to VW Car-Net (£70 per year) and accessing the traffic info via your connected phone? If so, I'd be inte...

Have we seen the end of built-in Traffic information?
For the last 6 months or so the traffic information via the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) has not been available in my 2017 Passat. This is because Trafficmaster no longer make the data available over FM radio and as far as I know VW have not made any effort to modify their systems to use the altern...

Re: Coolant tank replacement
Thanks for this tip. I'd not appreciated there was a silica bag in the coolant reservoir or that it could cause problems. Do you need to change to a different type of coolant fluid to compensate for the fact that the silica bag has been removed?

Re: where's my adblue filler
My Bluemotion Passat estate 2017 does not have Ad Blue.
Yours probably does not either.

Re: 1.6 TDi problem
I'd suggest you check on the state of your DPF filter. If you have an android phone there is a great little app VAG DPF that connects via a Bluetooth ODB adapter to the sensors so you can check the level of ash in the DPF filter. It may need replacing or a good clean.

Re: Hi what is the normal oil operating temperature?
I can always tell when the regen is running because the engine idle speed increases to 1000rpm. Another sign, if you have the DSG automatic, is that the engine revs are higher than normal before the gear changes up. This is to ensure the engine revs stay higher than normal to assist in the regen pro...

Re: Hi what is the normal oil operating temperature?
Water temperature is a constant 90°C and the oil temperature is generally between 96 and 103°C for normal operation. DPF regeneration seems to happen every 400 to 500 miles and takes up to 15 minutes. If you stop the car and turn off the engine before it is finished the fans will keep running to coo...
