Re: Passat BiTDi 240bhp high mileage report
Funnily enough it’s been doing that for the past 2-3 years. AGM’s die a very slow death compared to normal batteries. You are right time to replace. There’s a France/Belgium/Amsterdam road trip coming up in September. Is your battery original? It was until November last year, when it died being sat...

Re: Passat BiTDi 240bhp high mileage report
I'd say time to replace the battery before you start to get the phantom electrical issues (such as fault codes for things that don't actually need attention). I got mine from Tayna.co.uk, cheaper than Halfords and EuroCarPrats. Will need coding in after replacement but an easy job. My old B7 is sti...

Re: My aircon, the continuing saga!
Thanks again maclee. Never knew any of this about the compressor and was told the Passat unit needed a pressurised system to operate, and if it didn’t have any pressure it would just spin and the clutch wouldn’t engage. As you will see from these, fairly generic photos, that is the case with the ea...

Re: New owner of B8 2.0 EVO
Hi, A first time VW owner, I just bought a B8 estate, late 2019 with the 2.0 EVO engine and DSG auto. The car is ex-lease/auction, with a partial service history, so will be looking at what servicing & TLC it needs to be a reliable drive for the next few years. I know it was previously serviced...

Re: LED bulbs for DRL
It has a bulb check on DRLs. Unless you are using a load resistor, it may give a warning like this.
You can code out the bulb check with VCDS

Re: Battery replacement, coding required?
I didn't have to code when i did by old B7, so i think you'll be fine in your B6 since it doesn't have stop/start

Re: Temp goes down in traffic
If you don't have a DSG, then there's only one thermostat.
Pop your reg in https://www.gsfcarparts.com/parts/cooli ... thermostat and it'll list the right one for you.

Re: Lost my key
As I would like another key, I was quoted around $1300 from my local VW dealer. Couldn't believe how much they wanted. I could possibly get a new key through my insurance but I'm not sure what my excess is so I had a look online and found quite a few second hand keys. So my question is assuming the...

Re: Lost my key
Strangely I'm able to start the car with the remote placed next to the steering wheel The system is designed to do this incase the battery in the fob dies. When you press the buttons on the remote, does a red led illuminate on the top right of the lock button? If not, you've either got a flat batte...

Re: Lost my key
Hold the key fob next to the steering column. There's a key symbol where it needs to be held. This will stop the alarm and allow you to start the car. Change the battery in the key fob, then turn on the ignition (no start) with the fob on the column. Once on, press the lock button on the remote 5 ti...

Thanks mrderv Pics show a sensor on the front pads and the fitment detail says wear indicator is integrated so I shouldn’t need the separate sensor 👍 Fronts have a sensor, Pagid pads include it. Rear pads are a multi-fitment across a huge range of cars, so if the pic shows the sensor, it will be ge...

Don't think there is any component protection on them. Pre-tensioners might be an issue, not sure if these are in the belt reel, or on the buckle on the seat

Skip eurocarparts and order through Halfords online. Pagid discs and pads far cheaper than eurocarprats even with their discount code.
For the rear brakes, i would find a set of TRW pads. I tried eicher and pagid pads on the rear, but they were loose fit in the carriers, and TRW were a perfect fit.
