Re: CarPlay?
Hi, recently got a 2016 B8 2.0TDI highline, I’m trying to see if I can get carplay. The car is a highline (top-ish spec in Ireland) but doesn’t come with Nav. Part number is 3Q0035819A, thanks! Press and hold the menu button on the infotainment screen for 5 seconds, then select Software (top option...

Re: Android head unit has killed the parking sensors
Yes, unfortunately the audio beeps for the parking sensors are taken care of by the VW Factory head unit. You've got 2 options 1: Refit a VW headunit (will involve coding if its not the original one that came with the car) 2: Remove and disconnect the old sensors, and retrofit aftermarket ones that ...

Re: B8 LED's.
Are H9 the same as H8 and H11 because I can't find Nighteye H9, the brand that are my low beam bulbs? H8/H9/H11 all look identical, but they are different wattages. H8 is apparently 35w, and H11 supposedly 55w. H9 are supposed to be 65w. My low beam H7 are 60w, surely high beam will be higher? Low ...

Hi, To confirm I meant I’m in the exact same situation I’ve also got the MST2_EU_VW_ZR_PO137T, and so a coding is off the table. I’m just struggling to find online a good choice of replacement unit, I would ideally like the features I had in my last car which was a 2017 model Passat gt including wi...

Re: bought a high mileage passat gte - so questions
Open the tailgate. If there are buttons on the tailgate trim panel near the grab handle then it has a powered tailgate and needs diagnosing if its not opening. If there are no buttons on the tailgate trim, then you don't have the powered version, just the good old struts, so yes, you have to open it...

Re: Won't start after stalling
This is what can't be diagnosed just by looking to see if the belt is still there unfortunately.
Hopefully there isn't any catastrophic damage

Re: B8 Estate Boot Latch/Lock Broken
@maclee thanks for your help! Useful information and in the end, a bit of crawling around in the boot yielded the answer (5TA 827 505 D) and a call to VW established that they were able to supply the unit for almost the same price as I had seen online, and more to the point, they could actually del...

Hi guys, been a while.. Finally getting around to working out why the boot won't open on the estate and it appears the latch/lock goes faulty and then needs to be replaced (fairly common thing). Looked around and there must be 100 different parts numbers that claim to be compatible! Everything Seat...

Re: Airbag and gearbox warnings out of nowhere. Battery again?
Coding an existing battery won't fix the issue as the capacity has been degraded since it was fitted. So your best route is getting a new one and coding it from there. Wether you go warranty, or through Tayna is up to you. I bought my Exide AGM from Tayna last year, cheapest i've seen for batteries...

Hi folks, Long time no post for me, nice to see the place is still here. Car these days is a 2016 190GT DSG and I seem to have a lot of battery woes. Had the car since 2019 and all was well up to winter 2021 when the battery failed. Fair enough, it was the original. Got a new AGM stop/start from Ha...

Re: Tyre pressure system error
Depending on which Tpms system you have will determine a fix. If your system has the ability to see live tyre pressures on the infotainment and/or dashboard, then you have the active system which doesn't measure with ABS. Each wheel has a pressure sensor in the valve stem, reports to an antenna in e...

In my early 2020 model Passat the dash display is currently showing remaining range for Adblue as 1700 miles whereas the VW app reports it as 994 miles. Anyone able to explain the difference in these two figures? Go with the Dash reading. Alternatively, just fill it up to remove the warning :roll:

Ask them what system they use for VW diagnostics. It needs looking into a lot deeper. Those warnings you've listed are what i had after i replaced my battery, which is normal.

Re: Multiple Warning Messages but what is the fault ?
Battery is usually the cause of phantom faults this time of year when the cold affects it. If they've replaced the battery, they will (or should have) coded it so the car knows its been replaced for the battery monitoring system. Its normal to see multiple warnings as soon as the battery is replaced...

Re: 2012 b7 Vibration over 70mph.
Inspect all wheels/tyres.
Front's may well have been replaced and balanced, but the rears need looking at too.
Could be a deformed tyre, missing wheel weight, bearing, etc. All 4 corners need inspecting.

If its advising a fault, it would be wise to get fault codes read, as it'll give an indication of whats causing the problem. I'm in the North East with VCDS if you need it looking at I have VCDS myself. The funny thing is it’s not registering fault codes. I'm assuming you've already replaced the ba...
