Just an update, got hold of a cheap eBay GPS antenna and put it in the back of the glovebox MIB unit. GPS for the inbuilt nav and CarPlay are fine now. Scanned the car and it shows open circuit for GPS antenna, I assume this is because I’ve unplugged the factory but one. I tried to look at the ...

Hi all,

Had a EML appear on the dash last week, got hold of a carista dongle and app and had a scan. It showed 2 engine faults one was the glow plug relay and the others was P200200 which is a DPF issue.

I’ll happily replace the relay and make that go away. I’ve seen lot of stuff on the net about ...

Hi, I’ve pulled a small piece off the rear quarter light and it looks like it is a dark green tint. I need to get a new heat gun to do the rest. Thanks for the help

Thing is, the phone is ok when used on its own, and the in built Nav drifts off as well without the phone connected. I was thinking of getting a cheap fakra type GPS receiver and connecting it to the MIB unit to see if this solves the issue.

My Passat doesn’t have wireless connection, the phone gps is fine in any other car. I’m thinking it could be the roof antenna. Can you fit a different type of antenna to the MIB unit and place it in another location ?

Thanks

Hi all,
My CarPlay and VW GPS location is drifting off location from a few metres to a few miles. I can see there some talks about this on various forums.

Does anyone have a solution for this ?

Thanks

Hi all,

I have a 67 plate GT estate to which a heavy tint has been applied aftermarket. If I was to remove it does the car have privacy glass as standard? Don’t want to have non tinted glass.

Sorry when I meant boot light I mean interior light in the boot area

Hi all,

I have a 67 plate GT estate, every bulb is LED but annoyingly the front fog lights and boot light are not. Is there an easy legal way to change them to LED to suit the rest of the car? .

Thanks

Hi
My clutch pedal bite about 2 inches of the floor, also the gearbox although working fine has a notchy throw. Car has 130,000m but I don’t know if it’s the original clutch.

Is there any adjustment?

I’ve now done over 2000 miles and the able range hasn’t changed, so I’m assuming that it’s been coded out. Probably best just to leave it alone as I don’t know why it was done in the first place

Thanks,

Was wondering what the best OBD reader was for the Passat

Seen Carly,OBDeleven and such like. Some seem to offer coding as well as fault reading, also like the idea of live data such as DPF capacity etc.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Just an update, spoke to Andy at Yorkshire retrofits. He put time aside to help me do the job remotely.

Was very easy and quick. Now have CarPlay in the Passat.

Just now wondering what else can be done the same way.

Thanks to all the support on here

Hi all had my car about 3 weeks now and when I picked it up the adblue range said 6500 miles. I’ve now done about 800 and the range is the same, it’s mostly motorway miles. Is this normal or has the adblue possibly been coded out ?

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I think this is what you need

MST2_EU_VW_ZR_P0468T

Let me know what I can do, if there’s anything else that can be decided from this then also let me know

Thanks Again

Hi all,

Just got hold of a 2017 (67) 190 TDI GT variant.

So far love it and it’s exceeded all my expectations despite the age and mileage (125k).

I believe it has some options fitted
It has fully electric front seats and a panoramic roof.

It has the virtual cockpit and the newer syle head unit ...
