Hi all, Going through the service folder for my B7 Passat, I came across this, don't know what it is and Google doesn't throw up anything (probably because I don't know what it's called). It has 2 codes on one side and 1 code on the flip side. Here's a pic (p.s. I covered the codes in case they were...

Only way to start B7 is by inserting the fob into the slot. No where to use plastic key other than for front doors and passenger airbag on/off. Thanks for that [emoji1360] And as I found out today can also be used for turning the child locks on the rear doors on and off Sent from my Moto G (4) usin...

Do you mean the small digital display on the B7 dash? If so, you need VCDS. Go into the Instruments controller, and tick the box for ROW (Rest Of World) Then using the DIS menu in the car on MFD data, tick the Digital Display box and untick Alt Speed. This will give you a big digital speedo in the ...

If you want to build up a remote keyfob then the transponders can be purchased like this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ID48-Transponder-Chip-for-Volkswagen-Car-Key-Fob-Cover/401674753624?hash=item5d85ae5658:g:qYkAAOSwvGZcJj-Q Or if you just want a key that will open the car and start it manually ...

THe emergency key blade is plastic, so no worries there. Regarding the cost of a replacement, i'm not sure unfortunately. I seem to remember reading somewhere that once they are coded, they can't be re-used on another vehicle, so do not buy a used key from the likes of ebay as it will be useless. G...

Hi All, I've recently purchased my second Passat diesel after a hiatus and ended up with a great 12 reg 2.0tdi BMT. It only came with 1 key as the owner had lost the other with his wallet on a train somewhere. Anyway, it just came with the one key and I'm looking to get another as back up. A bit of ...

to be compltely fair, what does your advert say?

If it says mint car, absolutely faultless etc etc you might be setting yourself up for a fall.

If its an honest and decent ad, theyre a bunch of timewasters.

You got a link to the ad?

Is it ChrisR thats selling it?

what is net optic trim?

would it also say sport on the logbook????

ive been on the lookout for a new b5.5 tdi estate and come across a few which are advertised as sports versions when i dont think they are X( the only sign i know is the steering wheel is a 3 spoke version rather than the 4 spoke version, is this a definitive way of telling? what other differences t...

is there a list which shows which engine should have which box?
